Experiencing bug that blocks my progress in blood swamps

[seekNDstroy]

Where do I report it? I am trying it from the Bethesda Support page but ♥♥♥♥ takes forever to submit. Don't know if its because of the video attachment but its not that large. Is there any other way I can report the bug?

I don't know. Why not try restarting the level instead of waiting forever?

Can you describe the bug? Maybe someone here can help.

I would have loved to do that. Unfortunately there is no restart for any ongoing mission. I can replay it if I have completed it once. Which means only way for me to restart is to start from the previous stage again and that's annoying.

As for the bug, this is how I explained (or tried at least) in the bug ticket that never got submitted for some reason.

I would like to report a bug that is blocking my progress in the second mission of TAG1 (blood swamps). I am much farther in that stage and as you know there is no way I can restart a stage to get past this issue, so only thing I am left with is start the last mission from beginning again which is an unfair punishment for something I didn't do. In any case I will go through the steps I did before I saw this bug. I have also attached a video showcasing the bug behaviour.

1. Before starting the second trial of father, I took a detour to get the second hidden encounter that was nearby. I completed it and then reached the father's second trial and instead of trigerring it by pressing the skull switch, I had to close the game for some personal reason.

2. Now according to my assumption, the last fight happened in the secret encounter 2, so I expected the save checkpoint to appear there when I start the game again. It did of course and it should have let me reach the father's second trial location again.

3. Except it didn't. The box from which I can jump and reach the ledge is not working (it worked for the first time before closing the game) and the main pathway through which I am supposed to reach the location seems to be blocked by an invisible wall (proof in the video).

4. I don't know if it is of any relevance, but in that stage I didn't do the first hidden encounter, only second one. Just wanted to mention every little bit of detail I did on that mission before I got hit on the face by the bug.

Of course you can restart the level. It resets all progress, even gives you the extra lives back that you might have lost.

I do not think they will be able to help you. They can't undo a bug in your personal game. Just bite the bullet and restart. If you think it's unbearable to do so, you're clearly not having fun and might as well stop playing.

Well, congratulations, you've got yourself softlocked, now you can consider yourself a true gamer! This specific softlock is known for years now, so it's not going to be fixed, don't waste your time trying to contact Bethesda.

If you ever run into the problem again, know that you can get over the invisible wall at the secret encounter by the help of punch- and ballista-boosting (the higher the FPS, the easier it is):

And like Hundinger stated, you can see at the end of the video that resetting the mission is absolutely possible (this is on a new save, with the mission not yet completed).

I will definitely will not be able to do that lmao, not even remotely skilled enough.

But yeah I apologise, i didn't see that reset mission actually resets the stage so this should work. Guess i will play this again.

Yeah you are right, i can indeed restart a level again. I will just do that.

Besthesda did actually respond to me saying "We forwarded your feedback to the appropriate team". Guess that's just a dry response prepared for every feedback for this game.
