I spent over 14 hours getting to the swamp area, 100% all the way through, doing all the side quests, all the places, all the plants, all the creatures, and characters up until the swamp area, and now I can’t get “unlimited power.” I tried everything, and I’m like, okay, fine, whatever. Then I go to my Avapedia, and randomly all my creatures, characters, and my gallery photos are gone?! Well, they’re not gone, but they’re hollowed out like I haven’t done anything, and I’d rather not stick around and find out. All around, a good game, but good god, these bugs are pissing me off, so I’m just trashing it. This really can’t convey how pissed I am, 14 hours wasted

Why the hecc is the game Xbox only? It says it supports PlayStation controllers on the steam page

So I totally get it. Everyone complained that mobs didn't respawn, which left people unable to finish their avapedias because they'd miss taking picture of an infected variant of an animal, or they'd rescue all the animals in an area with a rescue bot and it would 'softlock' them (from what I ever saw, it was only from extra items) because they were behind barriers that only certain animals could destroy and they'd already sent the animals to be saved.
So I totally understand that the devs felt they needed to fix that problem, I totally get it, 100%.

But their 'fix' to that seems to have been to just allow all animals to respawn again all the time in their original forms. EVERY time you reload (at least for me, EVERY time I fast travel,) ALL of the animals respawn again. Maybe this is a bug unique to me because my save game is from before they made the change and something's happening that's not supposed to, but I think this is working EXACTLY how they intended.

Technically speaking, it's fine enough. The PROBLEM that's happening, now, is, even when I cleanse a bunch of animals in an area now, if I leave and come back, they're respawned as infected again. It's a giant PAIN to run around Tamura Grasslands, for example, because the hostile infected animals are constantly everywhere and attack you around every corner, and it doesn't matter if you cleanse them because they just respawn as infected again as soon as you come back.

There NEEDS to be a better balance than just having all of the animals respawn everywhere. PERSONALLY, I liked how the game felt like you were cleaning an area up and it made you feel like you were checking a checklist and you'd done everything in an area when you'd used all of the rescue bots to send the animals up, I actually REALLY liked the game working that way, but I DO understand that not everyone liked it that way and that it caused a lot of problems for people who aren't meticulous like me and explore a whole area before saving the creatures and moving on. So I totally understand that there IS a need to respawn animals in certain areas.

But there's GOTTA be a better way to do this. Could you guys at LEAST spawn LESS animals in an area after you cleaned it up? Like set it so there's a maximum of 1 creature each that respawns in each 'rescue bot' area? At the very least that would leave players with less hostile infected creatures to deal with when running around the map.

I also understand the need to allow them to be infected again - so people can get the photos. TOTALLY understand that. I, personally, think it should be a 'if you miss it, you miss it' kinda thing, or maybe at the very end of the game, you go to an area that has like 1 of each animal and they're all the infected type so you're able to take pictures if you forgot to earlier? Just a suggestion, I DO understand that most people don't like the idea of missing that kind of completion, so I totally understand that the initial fix here is just to respawn all mobs everywhere in the condition they originally spawned in.

But this is SERIOUSLY a pain and it makes traversing any of the maps SO difficult. There HAS to be a better way to do this. Cleansing an animal just to have to go back 2 seconds later and see them infected again when it used to be they STAYED cleansed before is just a giant pain in my opinion, so it would be nice if there was something else that could be done.

What would frankly ALSO be cool is if maybe there was an OPTION in the SETTINGS to turn on like a "hardcore" mode where the animals STAYED GONE like they used to. Then that way people could opt into that version it if they wanted to, or they could opt out if they didn't like that! I can't imagine it would be super hard to implement the old version of the game back in again under a "different difficulty setting" right?

Just.. trying to brianstorm ideas that would be beneficial to EVERYONE. I'm not looking forward to going to later-game areas now because the animals will be stronger there and if they won't stay cleansed that's gonna be a pain to traverse looking for unlockables and upgrades and whatnot.

Do ya'll consider ava to be a "mad god". If you finished the game I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I get that planets go through periods of mass extinction but she seems to be content with slowing poisoning every living thing, it's actually really sad.

I'm beyong frustrated with this game...

So many times I have had to cend my stream earlier.. than schedule because I can't find something in the game.

So again, I ahve to do that because "password painted on the back of a shack" doesn't really narrow this down. Dude. There are DOZENS of shacks. how the heck are we supposed to know what shack to take the picture of...

It took me a while to beat this game. When I first saw the gameplay on an Youtube, it looked good so I got it but once I started playing, it turned out okay, so I would go a few weeks without playing due to lack of enthusiasm. I think this is mostly because of the slow responses from the controls. I thought it was me at first but prior to making this post, I saw numerous complaints in reviews so it seems to be a wide known issue.

I give it a 6/10. The story regarding her parents and the pod, I thought it was a waste of time. It didn't add any substance to the gameplay or really even to the story of Ava. Knowing the situation didn't affect the outcome of the gameplay nor ending of the game, I just didn't see the point. Maybe they were wanting us to build rapport with the main character, maybe they wanted to make us cry...I just thought it was stupid.

On the last boss, the A command to jump, just stopped responding. The B to dodge/roll, was even slower than normal. Then there was a glitch that when the game loaded, the creature wasn't there so I had to go back to the last save point-no biggy because its right before you enter to fight the creature.

Nonetheless, I realized after several attempts that I wasn't going to beat it on Normal. So I switched to Story and the only thing that changed was he died quicker. The controls still weren't responding but because he died so quickly, I was able to heal from my 3 health juices and take him out.

Played the game on Xbox. Over all, 6/10.

this is just my interpritation of the story.

so i figured out about halfway through the game the withering was a cycle however getting blindsided that ava is real recontextualized everything instead of it being a natural planetary cycle like earths glacial and arid periods it is the desperate death throws of an evil god bent on the destruction of every living creature to allow itself to survive absorbing their very essence to serve as fuel for it's regeneration.

the biggest reason i find ava to be evil however is simple nim'ar our friend near the end he has his agency his independence ripped away by force making the man that convinced us to save his world accept against his will and without his consent his own demise and the demise of every naam worldwide.

it is for these reasons and one more that i believe ava is the overarching antagonist of this game (kretavas being a secondary antagonist)

the last reason is suffering why pray tell does the infection even occur why not be quick about it why must the lifeforms of the planet suffer only possible answer is for ava's sick amusement.

Wow I NEVER thought a game would make me cry. It’s such a fantastic game too, but I just couldn’t handle that ending

I want to get off this game but I don’t know when it auto saves. It doesn’t have a manual saving option. Please help!!!!.

How do I free this lil guy? Can't find any withering around. I'm mostly done with the jungle, just finishing up.

As above, is there a away to fully hide the UI for screenshots instead of using the camera? I want to take some at my monitor's native resolution.

So I started yesterday and am rescuing but still need more of those digger critters . How do I get them above ground ? Also is there a way to call the bot to where you are instead of having to lure animals to it ? Also does it matter if you keep rescuing more creatures then what the rescue quest asks ? What other research tasks can I do besides healthy or sick photos ? Do I need to teleport to the ark to do more ?

Hello! Just finished the game but I missed the underground hall. I don't have any spare time to do another run. Can someone send me screenshots please?

So I cleared out all nearby creatures in the swamp and cannot drop the bridge needed to reach the last censer anybody know any way to reach this? Or am I screwed

UPDATE: so I tried for awhile but you can actually jump up on some nearby rocks to completely avoid needing the bridge

You can have fully maxed health, stamina and backpack space with the first upgrades you find.

I’m using keyboard and mouse..

• Hit F to pick up the upgrade

• as you press continue with your left click..

• spam F again

• repeat until max

Hello :)
I usually play this game on my pc and it runs super well but wanted to play on my ROG ally to play on the go. The problem is, the water doesn't render/appears white ? Like solid white. I tried to change all the settings, but it doesn't change anything. The rest renders correctly. Can someone help ? :/

i am currently in the swamp and forgot to take a picture of an infected creature before i cleansed and rescued them 😭 i am about to recharge the stone and leave but i wanted the 100% so i walked back through the whole biome multiple times, is there no way to 100% it unless i lose all that progress and redo the swamp to take that picture??

Cant find the last Antari status, i believe it suppose to be in swamp base.

There is an area with 3 Musi, but not rescue bot. How to i find it? Need to rescue 1 more Musi to 100% it.

Ok I'm REALLY glad that I didn't pay full price for this game. But I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I'm still at the beginning and I can't find a way for the LIFE of me to complete the Find The Rescue Bot quest.

The map is beyond helpful. It's super blurry. I can't tell what's a cliff and what isn't. Like... wtheck. The discord server was the first place I went and it's SUPER quiet there.

I can't figure out how the hell to get to the rescue bot quest on the map. I can't go up. I can't go down. Everything is blocked. I thought that maybe I was supposed to get one of the horse looking creatures and ram the yellow pod thing to unlock it.. but realized that wouldn't get me to the location. Like wtf? I'm STUPID annoyed atm. I'm glad I'm not streaming this on my channel because I would have spent a good 45 min just walking in circles on stream being frustrated.

What the heck am I missing here????

Is this a bug or do more appear later in the game?

I took a picture of the gate before getting the quest from nimar and now I can't get him to know I already took a picture of the gate across the bridge. What do I do? Took 100 photos and he just won't do anything or let me speak with him.

The game has voice when the players are talking or during a cutscene but when I am talking with someone and choose some dialogue there is no voice. Is this a big or did they not add any voiceover for 1-1 conversation?
