Re: Completely Softlocked - Merrin Portal Bug
Ok, so I just managed to get through on mine. After starting a new game I played all the way back to the portal scene. I figured this time instead of just jumping in, AS PER INSTRUCTED I might add, that this time I'll use the air dash... Yeah. It worked.
So I loaded up my previous save and, yeah. You just have to dash through them like Lazer gates...
Hope that helps anyone else that runs into this.
