NG+ missing reinforced knife

[Tonester]

So, finished story, started NG+, chose the Serpent path (had to Google what these paths were about) and just after the Mexican town scene as you enter the first cave, there is a wooden blockage which says I need the reinforced knife. I upgraded this during the first run through so does anyone know why I cannot use it even though NG+ says all your weapons are carried over?

Cheers

I've read that you get your weapons when you reach story unlock points for them, e.g. knife shortly after plane crash.

(I havn't played NG+ yet so I havn't confirmed this.)

Yes, that's right.

Thank you malaire. I suppose you can fast travel back there when the option allows you.

Afaik, you can. Someone posted recently that there were two places (further) in the game that you had one chance to pick up something, but that was for collecting items, I think.. You should be able to fast travel back to most places.

There are a number of upgrades. The one you need says it will cut braided rope. You can buy the correct knife from the merchant in the first town but only if you get all skills in the Jaguar path or you get it right away if you choose the Jaguar path in NG+. I chose Serpent too but then completed Jaguar path and bought the knife.

I already have the correct knife then as I was using it to cut braided rope in the first run through.

I ve had a similar issue but then saw that I had to switch to the other knife at the next fire camp.

Thanks for the info. Very odd that they would do that.

That particular wooden barricade is an exception, as that's meant as the way to travel through that section when you return later (since the first time you do it, you're supposed to almost drown for some reason). Every other wooden barricade you will be able to cut with the knife.

The problem with that is, there's no camp here, so how do you return to this area?

I assume you are playing on Deadly Obsession.
Once you have passed through an area (like Cozumel) the campfires are available.

Actually was playing on normal difficulties, but yeah, I saw later that the campfires appeared.
