So
This stupid shit happened
I was playing Jak 1 on my PS4. when I last did a manual save, I had entered Gol and Maia's Citadel and then did a manual save.
When I load the game, I expected it to put me at the start of th level.
Instead I load my game, and I am at the final part of the stage which leads me to the boss fight O_o
I did not save any of the other 3 sages nor completed anything in the stage, I just suddenly warped to to the final part.
So uknowingly I shattered a nearby object, freed Samos, grabbed a few nearby Orbs and came upon a realization: I don't know how to do this stage in reverse.
I beat the boss but now I don't know how the fuck to get back down. Not like there's a shortcut teleporter or some such near where I saved Samos or anything.
So yeah I am abanonding the Plat for now. I'll come back to it in a year or some shit.
Fucking hell
I was ready to spend an hour getting this stage done and enjoy my 40th Platinum. And the universe fucks me over. Eh on the plus side, I do get to say 'I've gone 5 years since my last Platinum' so it's kinda charming that way :V
Bust seriously
Fuck this bug or whatever.
it sounds like you already knew this, but when you go into the menus it tells you how many power cells, precursor orbs, and red boxes your missing in each location. For precursor orbs it will usually give you something like 46/50 or 20/80 meaning your missing 4 or 60 orbs.
...I thought you meant that the game has some kind of indictator or arrow that tells you where to find the remaining Orbs.
Kinda like Sparx in Spyro where if you held the Shoulder buttons, Sparx will point towards nearby gems.
