Invisible wall glitch in Blood Swamps

[XCAL1BRO]

Was playing TAG1 for the first time on nightmare. Things were going... relatively well, and then I ran out of ammo, died to empowered demon and got locked off the area I previously unlocked.
Steps looked something like this:
1. Cleared the area where you meet invisible sneks for the 1st time.
2. Unlocked short cut to timed challenge and cleared it.
3. Went to secret area with Codex entry and BFG charge.
4. Died there.
Result: I respawned in the timed challenge area and could use neither the short cut, nor the main pass to next main area with invisible walls blocking off both paths. Gotta restart the mission from scratch now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh... that's new.

This happened to me in Immora to one of the doors, I backtracked too much and it got permanently locked off (despite it looking permanently open) Thankfully that building had multiple doors so I just used a different entrance

I guess reload a checkpoint?

I died in secret area, so reloading a checkpoint was a given. Walls appeared after reloading, and it's permanent. Thanks for heads up that it can happen in TAG2 as well.

Still not fixed, I have exactly the same issue, ♥♥♥♥!

This exact thing happened to me. I did the optional encounter in the same room and called it quits for the day, then came back to it and now invisible walls stop me at the shortcut and the staircase. Dis you end up just restarting the mission?

Hi! Almost 2025 and still the same problem, the exact same thing just happened to me, I died in the secret area and respawned in the area where the timed encounter is. After many attempts jumping and hitting the invisible wall I had to restart the mission, but it hurts a lot because it took me a long time to kill all the demons in a stage of the level.

You can actually get out there by exploiting a punch boost on the cube, some additional height from double jumping + ballista can then get you over the invisible wall.

As a last resort there's always the Meath00k tool ( https://wiki.eternalmods.com/books/3-command-console/page/meath00k-commands ), it enables the noclip command (and more), allowing you just clip through the wall. Also if you're playing the PC mod preview version of Eternal, then noclip is enabled out of the box.

The tool will give you an error on the latest version of Eternal at startup as it hasn't been updated for it, but most of its functionality will still work fine.

Man your blood punch glitch literally saved my save. Took me a good while to understand it and then pull it off but it was still better than having to restart the whole level.
Thank you!

ps: how ironic to beat a bug with an exploit
