Fixes and Improvements

Main Quests

Fixed a problem in the Main Quest “Heaven and Earth” where players who fast travel to the Forbidden West and leave their flying mount downed there during the “Fly to Starlight Rise” objective experience incorrect overrides, causing a blockage in progression.
Rectified an issue in the Main Quest “Heaven and Earth” where players could reach and interact with the second ballista in the chasm without Seyka’s assistance, resulting in quest objectives not updating correctly and impeding progression.
Horizon Forbidden West update 1.26 fesolved a bug in the Main Quest “Heaven and Earth” where Seyka could get trapped behind a door, hindering progression.
Addressed a problem in the Main Quest “Heaven and Earth” where entering the door code during the “Search the Ruins for Londra and the Missing Quen” objective and then reloading from a save would cause the quest to be stuck on the “Find the Door Code” objective, despite the door being already open, leading to a block in progression.
Horizon Forbidden West patch 1.26 fixed an issue in the Main Quest “Heaven and Earth” where leaving the quest area and quick saving at a campfire could result in blocked quest progression.
Rectified an issue in the Main Quest “Heaven and Earth” where, under certain conditions, the creation of multiple autosaves could impede progression.
Resolved a bug in the Main Quest “The Stars in Their Eyes” where reloading from a save during the “Scan the Device” objective would cause the objective to not appear in the Quest Log or as an in-game marker, potentially causing confusion and obstructing progression.
Addressed an issue in the Main Quest “For His Amusement” where overriding a Waterwing during the “Meet Seyka at the Waterwing Site” objective would prevent the objective from updating, resulting in blocked progression.

Side Quests

HFW update 1.026 fixed a problem in the Side Quest “In His Wake” where fast traveling away during the “Investigate the Skirmish Site” objective while callouts about Pirik’s note play could prevent the objective from updating, causing a blockage in progression.
Rectified an issue in the Side Quest “A Friend in the Dark” where Gildun would not enter the elevator if players reached and used the valve wheel without going through the vent, potentially impeding progression.
HFW update 1.26 resolved a bug in the Side Quest “A Friend in the Dark” where Gildun would not enter the elevator if players pushed the first wagon halfway, leaving Gildun on the wagon and possibly causing a blockage in progression.

World Activities

Fixed an issue in Cauldron “THETA” where the shield in the second puzzle room would reappear after players died three times, despite being disabled, causing a block in progression.
Rectified a problem in “Aerial Capture: East” where a “Pangea Figurines” callout would interrupt the audio log and subsequently not play again.
