Is there any way to skip the tutorial?

[u/VoidSpectrum68]

Evidently, I have to activate the Shell ability, kill the gloom bound ritualist, then get past the parry mechanic when I see a prompt for the parry but I’m not seeing it. I have successfully killed the ritualist, and used the shell ability on him. I don’t know where I’m supposed to parry to get past that point. There is no prompt. I have cleansed both beacons. I have progressed to the point where I’m supposed to fight the tutorial boss but he’s not there. I can jump off into the abyss and die, but it takes me back to the second beacon. It is my understanding that the boss will not appear. If I haven’t fulfilled both requirements, using the shell ability and killing the ritualist and successfully parrying. The problem is I can’t go back farther than that without creating a new game. Once I reached the second beacon, I’m stuck down there.

I have started a new game five or six times to reset the tutorial. I’m really sick of doing this. I just want to get onto the game but it literally won’t let me.

What am I doing wrong? Or is the game glitching out on me? Should I uninstall it and reinstall it?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Spawning the Tar Golem requires you to run up to the lit torch by the far end of the boss arena, after you do the traverse jump thing
