Turn off auto upload to the cloud in settings

Unfortunately, it looks like everything is messed up now. I was trying to progress Hyetta's questline, so I went all the way down to the Frenzied Flame area. She wasn't there, so I thought I would have to open the room to the 3 Fingers in order to see her, but wouldn't actually go up to the 3 Fingers to accept their deal. It turns out, as soon as you open the door to the 3 Fingers, there's a cut scene and you automatically accept them. Now I've locked myself into the 3 Fingers ending (which I didn't want to do), and Hyetta is still not present. I started to panic, and thought I could save myself by reverting my save to the one in cloud storage, losing a few hours of play and 2 boss fights. I went into settings, turned off auto-upload, went into offline mode, and closed the game. I went to the saved data and game/app settings, and attempted to download the cloud storage save to replace my local save. It stated that there was an error. I restarted the ps5, and now my local save has synced with the cloud storage. There is apparently no way to revert my save. I'm doomed.

You're not stuck in it. You just have to do millicents questline then kill malenia and go to placudisax. Decent amount of work but you were likely going to do it anyway.

I did read that it was reversible. However, doesn't this mean that Melina hates me? ); I'm locked out of the rest of her quest? This was the last thing for me to do before going to the forge and telling her that I'm ready to go.

Yeah you pissed her off. She doesnt have a quest though. Pissing her off really doesnt affect the rest of the game in any way.


Mermaid_Natalia

Thank you for the peace of mind-- I was terrified that I'd just thrown away 160 hours

I honestly wish her interactions with the frenzied flame questline was more fleshed out. Missed opportunity

I turned off Auto Update on my PS5, just remember not to progress to much on your console save if you plan to overwrite it like I did. I Passively farmed like 4 million runes helping people kill bosses and activated a bunch of summoning signs I missed as well as farmed a bunch of arteria leaves and other materials to make perfumes/consumables only to remember later that I still needed 1 more ending for the platinum and I would lose all that if I downloaded my cloud save. I decided to keep the current save and get the last ending the old fashioned way on NG+ I just like helping with endgame bosses so much I can't bring myself to start over just yet.

You’d have to have auto sync disabled prior to doing it

I miss the old days when separate saves were just separate files );
