Topic: Bug in LostWinds2: Furnace Room

Problem:

I was in the "Furnace Room" and missed one of the melodia idols. After getting the Jumberella cape I went all the way back to the Furnace Room to get it and now I'm stuck there! The windstone which used to be there is now gone and I can't get out of the furnace room because the crystal door won't open without windstone.

And what's even worse: When I load my savegame I'm in the previous room where I'm also stuck because I can't dig through the soil from bottom to top. Now I'm totally stuck - can't go forward and can't go back.

It seems that this is a bug in the game.

Well I don't know if somebody posted this in the NL forums already. But I just want to mention in case no one did:

After some research, I've found out that the above-mentioned problem is really a serious bug in the original release version of the game.

Frontier admitted on their support forum, that it's a "known issue" and that you can indeed get stuck in "The Furnace" room unter certain circumstances. (More precisely: If you revisit the Furnace room after your first visit - coming from the right side over the water slide.)

See post on the Frontier forum

To fix this problem in PAL regions, they have released a new, updated version of the game which is freely available over the Wii-shop channel. (I'm from germany - so I don't know if this new version is also available in NTSC regions or if this problem exists at all in NTSC regions.)

I have just downloaded the new version and it perfectly resolves the problem and I was able to get out of the Furnace room and continue the game where I got stuck.

Phew!

Good find! I have the NTSC version and I didn't get stuck but most likely I didn't go back into the furnace room.
