PROBLEM SOLVED: Shade doesn't show up on the position shown on the map.

[Blaubär]

Hey everyone,

I just died on the greenpath. My shade is being displayed on the map. But when I return to the position the shade does not appear. I already quit the game and loaded my savefile, but the shade still doesn't show up.

Since I'm relatively early in the game and my shade must be carrying about 1000 geo, I really don't want to try, if the problem can be solved by dying again...

Did anyone have the same problem and find a solution? Or do you have any ideas?

Please help me. I don't want to lose the fun about this awesome game by losing all that geo.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

I'm not sure why it worked now, but I guess I was simply searching for the shade in the wrong position. I expected the shade in a different place judging from what the map showed.

I'm future you can also talk to one of the npcs in Dirtmouth to help you out with problems like that

It never shows up at your exact death position but is always fairly close, it also does not show up at its map location sometimes.

I know about that guy from the Wiki. But at the time I died, I didn't already unlock him. And since my shade carried 1000 Geo and I needed 950 to unlock that guy, that wasn't really an option.

I learned about that now. Hopefully this thread will help people in future to learn, that they need to search a large area around the map-marker. My shade showed up not far from the position. But in a parallel corridor, which was a long walking-distance away from it.

English: Was it at the passage where you have to cross an acid pit by jumping onto 1 of those big bugs and repeadetly hit it so that you stay in the air over it? and if yes where exactly did you find your shade because the same exact thing happened to me and i also carried exactly 1000 geos

Deutsch: War es an der Stelle bei der man über diese großen Käfer springen, und dauerhaft schlagen musste damit man nicht auf den Käfer oder in die Säurengrube fällt?
Und wenn ja wo hast du deinen Schatten gefunden ? Mir ist genau das gleiche passiert und ich hatte genau 1000 geos

It is often better to start new post then ask something in 5 year old post. Shade (with the one irrelevant exception) always spawn in the room where You died. Shade on map only shows which room the shade is in, it doesn't show where in this room shade is.
Usually the exact place of death is irrelevant. What is relevant instead is a last safe place before location. Backtrack Your path before death, shade is most likely to spawn over the acid pit but if Your last safe location was the right side of the pit it should spawn on right side. There is no telling where exactly is Your shade. Listen for sound ques while in correct room.
