I would appreciate it greatly if the developer could answer a few questions. Otherwise, only an unwinnable boss fight against my "fear of missing out" awaits me. ;)

- Winter Cavern, 2F: Right of the two adjacent treasure chests, there's a map transition, but it simply loops itself. Is/was something (room/etc.) supposed to be there? At least the player doesn't seem to miss anything, since the Winter Cavern related monster slaying and treasure chest trophies can be earned nonetheless.

- Ice Pyramid, 2F (dead end when taking the northernmost stairs leading upstairs on 1F): Using the sword on this floor (it doesn't matter where) opens a door here, but it's solid and can't be strode through. Another room that was scrapped for the final version?

- Ice Pyramid, 3F: There's a closed off, inaccessible red treasure chest. Is there a way to reach it? The Ice Pyramid treasure chests trophy can be earned without opening this treasure chest, if it can be even reached at all.

- Hellmouth Hill: How many treasure chests must be opened to earn the respective trophy? I've opened 8 so far without getting the trophy, so I'm wondering if the trophy's broken or if the dungeon opens up later (I've explored the area as soon as possible, i.e. after receiving the Multi-Key from Kaiden).

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi there,

Really appreciate the feedback, to answer your questions;

-Indeed, there was a new room added there but we removed it as it was redudant. 

-This actually duplicates a mystic quest behaviour, so this was intended.

-You can reach this chest from the Kaidge Temple later on in the game with use of the Mobius and Gemini Crests. This is for a secret side quest :)

-It sounds like it's bugged, which I'll fix :)

Kind Regards,

Jake

Thanks for your reply. "Typical bugs in RPG Maker games" has become such a dominant thought pattern in my mind that I might not be able anymore to recognize all Mystic Quest Easter Eggs. ;)

I really like the intricate dungeon design, and it's great to see how some areas are surprisingly linked to each other. Since I could only see the red treasure chest in Ice Pyramid 3F and not the teleportation panel leading to it, I thought it was inaccessible, but I'll keep the possibility of teleportation panels in mind from now on in case I'll stumble upon another seemingly inaccessible treasure chest.

Is it safe to continue my playthrough or should I wait for the next update? I can't figure out exactly how the trophies work (how the requirements are set up, how and how often the game checks for the completion of requirements), so I don't know if the trophies can "fix themselves" later. Although I even conserved a save file before opening the last treasure chest in Hellmouth Hill, that might not help later with regards to the related trophy, dependent on how it works.

Soon, I'll need to make a tough call and decide whether I should spend all my money on stat boosters right now. :D

Developer

Haha of course.

Thank you, it took a very long time replicating and enhancing the original maps from MQ. Yes, theres some backtracking later on in the game hence why some chests you cant get to yet.

It is safe to download the new version and restore your game from that one, all progress will be kept (put the new version in a new folder to be safe) and bugs that may have cropped up in the old version will be fixed and work for your new version.

Stat boosters are a definate, but after Cormac's ship quest you do have the option of buying really neat gear, so keep that in mind :)

Thanks for letting me know, then I'll save my money for now and reevaluate my options later.

I already used version 1.04 when I encountered the Hellmouth Hill treasure chest trophy issue, and I don't see any update since I reported this issue, so I'm still not sure if I can resume my playthrough now and still get the trophy afterwards after downloading the new version once it's available. While I don't like extended breaks when playing a JRPG, I think I'll put my playthrough on hold until there's a fix for the trophy issue that works immediately and guaranteed.

Developer

we’re working on the fix now and should be available later today :)

Do you still plan to fix the Hellmouth Hill treasure chest trophy issue or has it already been fixed?
