So I just unlocked sailing and went out to the open sea, first stop Mercia Island! I go and explore the island and stumble upon a locked area with two seeds, but the area was unlocked at first and once I got inside and collected the seeds the door locked me inside and I wasn’t able to exit. I didn’t know what was going on at the moment so I was looking around for a way out until some gentle soul passed by and played a song that unlocked the door for me, hooray I’m free!!
So I asked them what song was that and where did they get it!? “Forest song or something” they answered and you can get it on the island up north called Lullaby Island. I immediately instruct my crew (of one person) to set sail to Lullaby Island and they complied with their captain’s orders.
I dock my ship there and go on to explore but didn’t find anything. So I pull out my handy communication tool (my phone) and look up how to get the forest song or something, turns out I needed the song or resonance! So I leave the island, collect 16k or something coins, buy the song and come back to get my forest song (at this point I realized that it’s called forest’s minuet), but to my surprise, there was nothing on the island, no quest to accept no fairies, nothing… I try to look this up, and turns out an NPC by the name Traveler Eclipse is supposed to offer me this quest! But they aren’t for some reason. Odd, I think to myself, why is that??
After a few seconds of contemplation, and research, it seemed that this quest line ends with the location I was locked in initially on Mercia Island, and potentially collecting those seed triggers the end of the quest and hence, I’m currently potentially locked out of even accepting this quest that rewards one of game’s essential songs…
Obviously this isn’t blocking my progression, but it is effectively locking me out of something that my character cannot attain and knowing that turns me off from progressing further. I believe this is a bug and hopefully it is fixable and hence I’m posting here in seek of a fix or a solution.
TLDR: Starting sailing, went to Mercia Island first, collected 2 seeds that were supposed to be locked out and require the completion of a quest line that I didn’t have (someone had the door open). and now I can’t seem to be able to accept that quest for it (The NPC isn’t prompting this quest) which leaves me locked out from acquiring one of the songs within the game (Forest Minuet)
