Game breaking Bug regarding Teleport/Warps/Fast Travel that locks out the progress

[Ceryx]

This is a game breaking bug that locks you out of story progression and it’s extremely easy to reproduce. I’m personally playing in PS5, but also confirmed that also happens on PC.

Step 1:
Start a new game and when you have control over Yumia and free roam on the region, go to Sivash region early by jumping trough walls at the Cellal Ruins at the bottom right of the Map in Ligneus Region and activate any teleport or Pedestal over there (at Silvash Region).
[Check this video from a famous Atelier streamer on where to do it (check at 16:05 onwards): https://youtu.be/I6E6q0SVr9s?si=r-8QJO56rHB57P9s ]

Step 2:
Progress trough the main story to the point where you normally reach the Sivash region and meet the Welleks.

Step 3:
At this point you will notice that any Teleport or Pedestal you reached previously trough wall jumping no longer works, and if you visit them manually they will be “activated” but you can not interact with them, thus locking you out of progression if the Pedestal is needed to progress with the story.

check your quest log and see what you need to do next. i to explore alot and find alternate ways to reach areas via wall jumping. you might just be in a part of the story where you are temporarily locked from fast traveling do to that particular story event that needs you to do something before you can freely roam again.
if you are stuck somewhere save and quit then relaunch the game and see if that puts you at a nearby town or base area.

Updated the main post so its better explained how to reproduce the bug and hopefully any dev see this and fix it.

Is this include ziplines and motion blur?

Very unfortunate. I accidentally ran into this progression lock too. I did the Hermea Academy with the Ruins skip and saved over my main save, now in regards to the main story I'm stuck on "Unlock the Hermea Academy."

I sent a bug report on Koei Tecmo's website. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

I'm encountering a similar bug, although it hasn't locked me out. I went to explore the 4th region, and activated several towers inside the city. I then did some quest cutscenes, and now the previously activated towers can't be teleported to or interacted with, but new ones can.
