I've spoken to Minerva  and completed Evelynn's questline but I haven't  got the goddess slice - can't  cut vines.

I spoke to Minerva before by interacting  with the fountain  sparkles but then I started  a new game. Somehow it seems to have remembered  that  I  spoke to her and that I did Mary's first chicken hunt.  I went straight to the second  hunt when I  started a new game. Now I have most of my stats maxed out, I really  don't  wanna restart..

Any ideas??

SOLVED

I just had to go down the hole in Roselyn's garden again to activate the  fountain  warp.

Thanks man! Your 3 year old post finally made me figure that out. I wasted an hour doing the same thing
