The climbable wall to the west of Marin Village has a spot that consistently doesn’t trigger auto-climbing, causing the player to fall to their death if they try walking up to it expecting the character to climb down. I was able to reproduce it multiple times in the same spot, as well as other spots less consistently.

Marin Woods Climb Fail Smaller

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start from the Marin Village Whisper
  2. Head west, across the bridge and then into the cavern
  3. Continue through the cavern until reaching the cliff
  4. Jump down to the bottom of the cliff where the creek is
  5. To the left of the creek on the south side, there is a climbable wall to climb down
  6. The climbable wall has three tendrils curling over the top of the cliff; position the character right at the middle one

  7. Walk straight down and observe how the character falls to their death instead of climbing on the wall

Note that the issue can occur at some other spots on the wall as well a bit inconsistently (as can be seen in the attached videos), however using the above steps I have been able to consistently reproduce it.

Here are a few videos of my researching, showing that the wall climbing works as expected in most spots until it suddenly doesn’t :stuck_out_tongue: Marin Woods Climbable Wall Bug - Google Drive

If you want to grab on in that instance you have to change movement direction directly when you walk over the edge i think.

But yea those spots can be troublesome..

I wonder if it has anything to do with the water down below?

I know climbing the vines in that area can force my character to auto drop/slip off.

I dont think its because the vines are wet but who knows..

Yea I found it was inconsistent for this wall, I died there during my normal playthrough and then spent like 30 minutes going back over and over to test it lol (RIP my gear durability). I found that trying to climb from most parts of the edge and approach angles worked fine, occasionally I would fall to my death randomly, but this one spot in particular I was able to consistently reproduce falling :smiling_face_with_tear:
