Guilt shards spawning in spikes in The Sleeping Canvases

[Desperoni]

Disclaimer: I'm playing on Switch handheld. But in the passage connecting The Sleeping Canvases to Mercy Dreams, with the swinging pendulums and the spiked floor, all my guilt shards spawn in the spikes, making them impossible to collect.

Except for one time when a pendulum knocked me into the spikes and I somehow survived and could walk around in them, but I'm not banking on that to work every time.

Bump. Exactly this, I caught a pendulum in the spiked corridor out of The Sleeping Canvas and died in the spikes, and now I have a Guilt Fragment down there. Also playing on Switch.

All the Confessors in my game are already broken. I don't know what I can do about this.

I already had to completely restart the game 15 hours in due to a softlock. This is frustrating.

still an issue. 3 of my shards are stuck in the spikes. not only that, the platforming is messed up really bad in one of the boss fights. (still, apparently) this game is starting to feel abandoned...

Still an issue on PC. Same room in sleeping canvases closes to mercy dreams. Got hit by the last pendulum and the guilt shard spawned on the spikes right next to the floor. https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1761444076143658869/559302AD969C04F0CA9D016B04E51ED5AADAFF52/

Why have this game feature of extra punishing/penalizing/weakening the player for their ingame deaths is beyond me. Should be enough that players lose progression/time from having to replay from the last checkpoint or start of the level. The feature inhibit player from exploring and trying out new game mechanics which is how players grow ingame and should never be discouraged by adding extra punishment for failures like this. For me it just frustrating and an unwanted feature.

This is STILL a problem in Aug 2021: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1684895445427752637/48A8DC4A9A0E52E10EF129D2C8F8B0EDB3EE4E49/

These are the spikes under the bridge in the Wasteland of Buried Churches, right at the beginning of the game. How was this never fixed?

Remember you need to destroy all the confessor statues to get the true ending

Look...Get used to dying. Get used to it. You're going to do a lot of it. Having your shard spawn on the spikes when dying by spikes is not a glitch. Use the confessor statues or upgrade the church in Albero like everyone else has been doing since day one.

Get good. Get good fast and get ready for NG+ and the Amanecidas fights in the DLC. In your current state those 5 bosses will have you slashing your own throat out of frustration in about 30 seconds. If this game was as easy as you want it, the ending would make zero sense.

1. Having your shard spawn on the spikes literally is a glitch.
2. The confessor statues need to be destroyed.
3. There is zero correlation between "the game and its DLC bosses are difficult" and "the bloodstains are spawning in places where they cannot be retrieved".
4. This is literally a glitch.

[Dank Memeington]

It's not a glitch, if you die on spikes far enough away from the edge, your shard spawns on the spikes regardless of the zone the spikes are in. Your second point is irrelevant as you can upgrade the church in albero. your 3rd point is false, the correlation is "Get good". 4th = no.

[Desperoni]

Yeah, know what, I'm just gonna ignore your comments because you're obviously a troll. Have fun defending this as "the developer's intent" when the developers already tried to remove this error two years ago. You can't "get good" against something that's literally impossible, and I mean the actual definition of literal.

Cant you just pay in confessor statue and then destroy it? Personally i dont know, i never used statues.
