Game breaking bug in Gaia's Navel
Theres a part in Gaia's Navel, past the room where you get rid of the lava, where you have to go south for a bit cross some water and then go back up on the other side via a narrow path. There is an inexplicable invisible wall in front of the path you need to take, physically preventing me from continuing the game. I tried looking it up to no avail, I tried reinstalling to no avail. Does anyone have a solution for this ridiculous crap?

I think you went the wrong path. Never came to an invisible wall in my route.

Are you talking about way south as far as you can go, where you need to go in a door and come back out the other side to hit a switch? Is the "invisible wall" the stalagmites on the floor that you can't break yet? If so you go thorugh the door and come back up on the other side.

I'm absolutely going the correct way, I've played the original game several times over the years and I even looked it up again on youtube just to make sure I wasn't just going crazy and missing something. It's the path along the water that this person gets to around the 8:43 mark

It can happen that an enemy is not corrected loaded. Tried your way few times and only 1 time was there an "invisible" wall. After 1-2 secs an enemy spawned.

Just wait or go completely out of the area until it´s loading again -> maybe you´ve got to do this several times.

A level 1 charged sword attack was able to get past the invisible wall for me.
I heard someone saying you have to run at it.

Might be the case. Was having to run at the door to Watts to get that to open as well.

I fixed it!!!!! Lower your resolution to the lowest one and window mode. then run towards the narrow path. Its a video issue.

I ran into the same thing. I needed a charged level 1 sword attack to jump through it, like the squiggly guy above.

Also, I couldn't get through the door into Watt's shop without sprinting. SE needs to take a look at video options again.
Buy it on a console like it was meant to be played on. Enjoy your bug filled version while I play it flawless on the ps4.

True story, it's so totally flawless[www.resetera.com] on PS4.
The game is buggy on all platforms unfortunately.

Running at both watt's place, and the area worked for me. Hopefully there's a patch at some point to fix some of this stuff.

Dang, I've tried all the solutions listed above so far and nothing has worked. No matter what I do or what video settings I have I just can't past this invisible wall. Can't believe I spent $40 on this.
