Would you mind giving more info on what you mean by "softlocked?" Usually that refers to a situation where the game is still running and responsive, but cannot progress, because a flag won't set, an NPC won't give expected dialog, etc. Specifically what is the chain of actions that leads to this, what is the expected interactivity (NPC dialog being a certain way, etc), and what are you encountering instead of this expected interactivity? I want to make sure I know where I'm going before I dive in, because there's a lot going on there, and things vary depending on which time it is that you're talking to the bartender, how many defeats etc. If you're stuck in the basement, there may be an interaction you're just missing.
