[Slight Chapter 13 Spoilers] Snow Beast Boss Fight Bug
[b]CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD.[/b]
During the boss fight with the Snow Beast in Chapter 13, I have encountered a possibly game-breaking bug. When the player has to lure the Snow Beast between the harpoon lasers, one of two things happens to me; one of which is a bug and the other is possibly (probably) due to my own incompetence.
⚽ Situation resolves correctly. The harpoons catch the Snow Beast and the Quick-Time Event is engaged. However, after multiple attempts, I have been unable to tear it apart. Perhaps it is because I'm not pressing the button quickly enough.
🏈 Alternatively, the Snow Beast enters the beams and the harpoons fire, but the game only partially registers the hit: The Snow Beast is still capable of moving away from the harpoons and chasing the player as though it was not snared, but after a successful attack on the player it will 'slide' back to where it is caught by the harpoons and remain there for a few moments before stepping away and attacking the player again. Kinesis still functions on the crank for the harpoons, even while the Snow Beast is not caught between them. Reloading from a checkpoint will reset the boss fight, but it tends to happen repeatedly with no real solution.
I am attempting to solve the situation by re-installing the game from scratch and will report back if this resolves it. In the event that this does not solve the situation I will post photos (linked externally).
I know of at least one other person (caution: very poor grammar, difficult to read) who has experienced this problem; however, they seem to have progressed past it. Nevertheless, I am submitting this report to see if it can be repaired.
