Soft locked from second ending? [SPOILERS]

[neldoge]

Seeing if someone else has run into this…

Finished collecting all 65 eggs, and went to the incubator.

Instead of getting the Manticore over to the left flute alter, I repeated the original run and it took it to the fireworks room which triggered the original credits.

After reading online what the correct method was, I tried going back to the incubator. But unfortunately, there is no button option to place the egg into the incubator and trigger the second manticore run again.


Has anyone else run into this? Are there any solutions? Or am I soft locked from getting the true ending and achievement?

Does it just die when you get to that room?
This seems like a massive oversight that way more people should have encountered...
Are you sure you saved after doing all of that?
How many eggs do you have when you load your game right now?
Maybe you forgot to save after 64 eggs, and you have to pick 65 back up?

The scene played out just like the first go around, I let the credits play out and saved at the house to the right.

When I open my inventory right now , I still have 65 eggs. When I go back to the incubator room, the alter has a green light on the pedestal and the option to place the egg does not come up.

When I go and play the flute at the alter to the room to the left of the incubator, nothing happens since the second manticore isn’t there anymore.

I tried closing out the game to see if it will reset the environment just like in other areas of the game, but that didn’t work, the incubator won’t take the egg. I also tried seeing if I can pick up the 65th egg back where I originally got it, but that chest is still opened.

maybe check on the donut? i can confirm that in my playthrough i could trigger the fireworks twice. once for main ending, and then a second time just randomly in the room with no boss which triggered credits again and permanently depressed the button

Tried checking the donut, it doesn't do anything unfortunately. I checked in on Reddit and Discord, looks like it is a glitch others have run into with no solution. Hopefully this is fixed in a patch..

Also in the same boat, Neldoge. I've tried to avoid spoilers so far, but it bites to be locked out due to such a simple oversight. Here's hoping for a patch
