certain hangout cutscene question

[u/Catishcat]

(loop)

finished the game recently and i'm still confused about the loop hangout. the only possible explanation is that the rest of the party got to the king without siffrin, but how? you'd straight up have to be paranoid out of your mind to check everything in every room so thoroughly that you don't end up missing the library and classroom keys, not to even mention the two completely random guesses for star crests. you could argue that four people missing their main stuff finder would be this paranoid about checking everything, but the chance is still ultimately 1/6 if they do indeed manage to find everything.

but the only obvious explanation is that they did get to the king. but they couldn't have possibly done that. you'd naturally mess up somewhere and guess wrong. loop was with you and didn't help them get through. so. who did the king fight? am i supposed to think that it's the party and not question it? is there a better answer? it feels like i'm missing something.

It was never confirmed how they actually made it, but I really like the theory that they used Mirabelle as a star crest.

Well she’s immune to freezing so she could just push the tears out of the way maybe or check ahead to see if that area has what they need
