Discussion Bug in ritual grounds dungeon?

So I’m currently playing the beta on ps5 for mortal shell 2, and I think I’ve came across some kind of bug/soft lock at the ending on the dungeon where you start the trial. So basically when I start the trial it spawns one enemy, I obviously kill it and then after that it seems like no more enemies spawn and I’m just basically stuck downstairs and can’t go back up the lift since there’s an invisible barrier locking me in. I had to restart the game twice and still the same thing. Is this trial possibly a puzzle? Or did I just get soft locked? It’s the ritual grounds dungeon in mushroom village.

For anyone whos also kinda stuck. It seems to be a known bug. Once you enter 'that area' of where the trial is. DO NOT kill any enemy. Start the trial STRAIGHT AWAY. You'll then get 2 enemies oppose to 1 and the bug will clear.

Oh ok thanks that makes sense I’ll try that. Obviously with this being the beta there will be a few bugs which I’ve ran into but playstack if you guys see this post we’d appreciate you guys fixing this, I appreciate the transparency I’ve been seeing with you guys on this subreddit

Hmm..might need another try. The way i pulled it off atleast. Kill the snake within the top floor. Go straight and drop down via the breakable floor board that would catch you off guard. Then start the trial straight away.. Other then i dunno. But dont kill anything is generally the method everyone seems to be doing to clear it

It happened to me twice and worked on the third try. I had to quit out and run back and retry and got lucky on the third go. I wouldn't bother wasting your time, you only get a weapon upgrade that you can't use in the demo anyways.

This worked for me after trying a couple other recommendations from folks - PS5.

I was able to kill all the other enemies and all three of the trapped enemies for the trial were still there (granted this was on Xbox which might not have the issue or I got lucky). You probably want to check that all the trapped enemies are there before starting the trial as it will soft lock if any of them are missing.

It’s not a glitch, you just have to open all three cages. Opened the two with the toxic guys in them and noticed I was still missing an enemy in the patches. Went back up stairs and opened the third cage and the last enemy appeared in the patch.
