HELP, I'M PANTLESS (bug about Key's pants)

[Ursus el Bardo]

Hi, we are stuck in Guyahi. We were in the camp and at the moment we were leaving it, a scene popped were a critter stole Key pants. We tried chasing it, but we still don't have the ability to catch running things like the mecha-jellys. Then we went to another island using the flying ray and when we got back to Guyahi, Key insisted in retrieving his pants. The problem is first: we can't catch running critters; second, Key already has pants; and three, the critter isn't even there anymore. We can't leave the island, we can't interact with the camp, and we can't die. Pls help!

Now that's a weird one... I never even thought about leaving the islets before retrieving those, so I didn't experiment what you describe, but :

1) As all the other unique creatures (like the egg-eater in the swamps), that beast should still (and always, up to the end of the game) remain there. But I agree : it's rather tidious to find sometimes... Not only because of its small size, but because it seems to remain often in a prone position (enjoying the sun I guess ^^), which can make it hard to notice. Just keep searching for it...

2) Normally, simply running after it for some time should, after a few dialogs, lead to a tutorial about the dual grip-running ability used to throw a character after a creature. If you didn't receive it then, it probably means that you gave up a little too quickly...

3) Now why would Kay have his pants back... and therefore engage that endless loop of yours, I don't know and can't help :(. Your best best, in my opinion, remains (still) to try to find that creature - which can take a while sometimes -, grab it and hope that this script unlocks your current position.

Good luck !

I repored it to the developers. Aparently it was a bug. They gave me a way to fix it and its solved.

Great ! Could you share that fix here, for what it's worth ? It could be of use for any other person facing the same problem...

It was basically loading a previous save file. These are the instructions they gave me:
1. Erase all the content in the subfolder Haven: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\TheGameBakers\Haven
2. Copy the content from the subfolder "Haven_previous_2"
3. Paste it in the "Haven" subfolder.

Thanks for sharing ! That's a very useful tip which could be helpful in other situations as well...
