Softlocked on Act 5

[Guvenoren]

Careful, if you don't have enough health or health reastoration on act 5, you cannot proceed.

[EDIT]: Ok I finally finished the game.
It was eh. Not worth the wait.

Honestly the only BIG complaint I have with the game is this right here. It's definitely something that needs a hot-fix. You can restart the act and it's fine though, but you'll lose a lot of progress.

Eeeem... What!?

[Usurper]

Thats a tension made up by the game,you can make it with few lives.
It takes a bit of timing,but doable

I thought I was hosed after the boss fight when I only had half a segment of health left but there is a healing refill station a bit later and I was able to finish the game with that.

The thing is though, if you run out of grenade ammo during the boss fight and you don't refill before moving on, then you have to clear the infestation off your arm by hurting yourself before you can refill your grenade supply. You need to fire a grenade over a wall in order to open up the path to the health station, but if clearing the infestation to refill your grenades is enough to kill you, then you're soft-locked.

Legit. Wonder how they are going to solve this problem.
I will have to restart the last mission then. Cheers devs!

I guess they could just let you pick up ammo even if your hands are covered. I mean you can still heal anyway even though at the time your right hand is fused to the weapon.

Another possibility would be that clearing your left hand would either be permanent of no longer hurt you when you have only a little health left. I was surprised that it did kill you because I was playing around with it before the boss fight when you can stick your hand in and get damaged but I couldn't get it to kill me at that time. The animation would play but I wouldn't loose any more health when I was low.

Really makes it feel like no actual human being playtested this game

how you can run out of granade there!? There is ammo stock on boss fight, and anyway you need 1 granade for boss and 3 more after.

I think I know where you're talking about, and agreed - you need to be able to put that thing down so you can go stock up any you missed - but to be fair you can do it without being hit once you get the hang of it :)

You knew exactly what to do the first time you fought that boss? You didn't fire a single grenade at him just to see if it hurt him before you figured out you had to pop one into his backpack while he was reloading?
Anyway, it doesn't matter how it can happen, what matters is that it can happen, so there needs to be something there to prevent that situation otherwise it's possible to get soft locked.

you're thinking of the wrong spot. What we're talking about is after the boss fight when your arm is covered in infestation and you need to hurt yourself to be able to use your arm again. If you're too low on health, it will kill you.

I also noticed that this situation can happen, because sometimes additional hands on the stomach cause us damage according to the script
