Forlorn Ruins escape- Help please

[rasha_150]

I have been stuck at the Forlorn Ruins escape for a few weeks now. I have tried again on and off and can't seem to crack it. I watched a number of run through videos (for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFp9QOLh6a8) but they all look really different (and much easier) that what I see on my game. I have the DE game set to 'easy'. During the initial part with the falling icicles I also have static boulder obstacles making avoiding the plasma beams much harder. But where I am really stuck is at the top right of that first area, unlike the video walk through there is no wall I have to break down but beyond that is a static static plasma beam that will kill me and I can't see to get past.

I have also noted a lot of people talking about the easy game having lots of mid-save points to make it easier but I can't find a single place that allows me to create a save point.
Any help would be really appreciated.

The video does not work.

But what you describe seems to be a bug, Afaik you always have to break the wall after your first float upwards to proceed. Not matter which difficulty mode. This is probably why the game doesn't disable the wind-stream for you.

It should work like this (see Forlon wind escape at 14:55) - avoid watching the rest, this video I recorded contains all escapes and cutscenes/outro:

You can try to load a backup save from the menu (press upwards on your saveslot) and reenter the escape phase. Maybe this time the triggers work correct. If not, I offer you try it out for myself if you upload your savefiles to a filecould and link it here.

Oh my goodness. THANK YOU! I replayed from an earlier backup save and you were absolutely right. I am very new to gaming and just assumed it was a case of PICNIC (problem in chair, not in computer).

I am glad I was able to help you out :) Enjoy the game.
