Stuck in Dried-up Trenches

[Sadrac]

Hey everyone,

I need help, I'm stuck in Dried-up Trenches even after exploring it a lot multiple times...
I have beaten the Insatiable Despot and met the Hunter with a girl singing, etc.

I have seen videos showing a cinematic when going back to the base, about Mia or something. I never found out how to get this cinematic too.
Furthermore, I've heard about a ladder that we can unlock after interacting with a statue in the City but I can't interact with it.

Is there an item or a boss I skipped ? Do you guys have an idea ?

Sorry if my English is not clear, I'm not a native english speaker ^^'

Have you been down the hole in Old City Ruins?
Nearest Mistle is the Parking Garage.

[Sadrac]

Sure, is there something there I need to get in order to continue ?

[Sadrac]

Here is the places I visited in the city. I translate for you :

Ruins Entry
Parking Garage
Park in ruins
Nest of Venomous Butterflies

have you been to the howling pit yet?

There's a lift that doesn't work if you go down the ladder, but you can reach the bottom of the lift by falling from the Thorns that are jutting out of the walls in the hole. Then you can ride the lift up and use freely. The next area is down there.

Also if you get stuck at other points, the map board in Home Base will update its note to hint at the next objective.

The map in the Home Base is the 1st thing I've checked when I was stuck but it only says I need to explore the City, and hell yeah I did :/

What are you guys calling "the hole" ?

[Sadrac]

Maybe do you speak about this lift : https://puu.sh/EsZdY/eed5e45bed.png

Already explored, I don't know what I could miss there :/

[Sona Rose]

On the Ruined City Center map, the hole is the sinkhole that can be reached from the Parking Garage Mistle by going down the ladder, following the path to the crossroads and turning left both times.

[Sona Rose]

Not the lift that is after the Butterfly boss.

no, you have not been to the howling pit yet. this is where you need to go: https://gyazo.com/15d0ec58199451ea785cc69f2074dcf9
and carefully jump down the hole.

Wow indeed it looks like I have never been THIS way !
I thought I was coming from this ladder at start, but it looks like I've been wrong the whole time.

I've searched for this for hours ! As always, it seems very easy and stupid once I find the way was in front of me right from the start ^^'

Thank you a lot guys, in a couple of minutes you understood my problem and resolved it. I'm grateful !
Have a good day/evening !
