Difficulty in Finding Recipes
Crafting Lives unlocks several recipes that you will need for quests. If you can’t locate one of them, it can halt progression for the main story. Find the required recipe for a quest by heading to the “Quest” tab of the Recipes menu.
Cave of Trials Bug
During Chapter 6 of the main quest, you clear several shrine minigames and watch the event scene in Ginormosia. This can make you unable to enter the Cave of Trials, blocking further progression completely.
Avoid triggering the event scene after the shrine minigames while your main story quest displays the “Go to the Cave of Trials” message to prevent the issue. Change the quest selected and proceed further.
