Is there a way around this? I've also run into this issue and have done everything else aside from the last couple of fairies and the secret corridor.

As for why this glitch happens, is it possible that the Wind Fish warp happened one after the other, causing one to glitch?

Is there a way around what? I'm not sure which of the matters discussed you're asking about.

The two warps are separate, scripted events and not related to the way that screen secrets normally work.

So, the way it happens is during the first Wind Fish event; the script changes the combo for the door to the Trendy Shop to a different combo.

As a result, you can now find Farore inside.

This also changes combos inside the Dream Shrine so that when you return there you are warped to a different event.

Then, the second Wind Fish event triggers a change inside the Trendy Shop which will warp you to a duplicate room when you enter.

That room has yet another script which looks for the Wrapped Present and if it is in your inventory; warps you to the end of the Trading Sequence cutscene.

 

Theoretically, you could use cheats to warp to the right place if you knew where that was.

Spoiler

The screen to warp to in order to complete the Trading Sequence is DMap 83, Screen 00.

That worked. That said, Farore and Marin talking about the Windfish, mirror, and birds doesn't make sense. I think the first cutscene with Farore is bugged or something since the Windfish tells you about her, you immediately teleport to her rescue, and then you teleport back. I don't think there was any discussion with the Windfish regarding the mirror or birds. I think opening up Level 7 overrides it or something.

The discussion about the birds and the mirror happens in the second Wind Fish cutscene. 

If you missed that somehow, that's probably why you couldn't access the end of the Trading Sequence.

Since that's what opens up level 7, I'm not sure how you could have missed it.

Again, the Windfish sequence seems to have triggered twice in a row, so it seems that Farore joined, and then the cutscene to open the next level played immediately after, which probably interrupted the cutscene with Farore for the trade sequence. Not entirely sure, but SOMETHING happened in the middle of those cutscenes that caused the softlock.

I seem to have found another bug. I did go to the top floor of the Secret Corridor and dropped both bomb seeds.

However, when I go to the area below, where the big key apparently is, the seed isn't there, and thus, I can't bomb the pillars to get to the chest. I've gone through pretty much every room as much as I can multiple times, though I still have one small key left that is unused despite there not being any available doors left.

Unless I missed something, I'm pretty sure I'm softlocked.

One of my testers reported something similar.

I don't know for sure what causes this.

However, I do know that it doesn't happen on 2.53 because there's an ongoing LP which was able to get past this point.

If you want to use cheats to walk past the pillars and get the Nightmare Key, I wouldn't blame you.

Fair enough. I just wanted to make sure. I know 2.55 is stable, but hopefully they can still fix this or at least look into it. Thank you for the replies thus far. I've really enjoyed this quest.

Not sure if this has been said before (I didn't want to spoil myself reading through the entire discussion thread), but there's a softlock issue in

Mini-level 5, Siren's Keep of the Lake.

 

 

 

Images put in spoiler brackets to save window space. Either way, if you activate the portal after that puzzle, only the portal that leads you to the previous room activates, not the portal that would act as a shortcut past the puzzle. As a result, the room becomes impossible to pass, and you are forced to reset. Luckily I saved literally right before that, but yeah.

Technically, this is only a softlock for the post-game; but good catch!
The settings for the return warp and the warp you activate didn't match, so the return warp was never activated.
Will fix in the next upload.

Apologies for digging this up from almost a year ago but I think I'm near the end of the quest rn but I can't seem to finish the trading sequence. I made it all the way up to the wrapped present but I'm not really sure what I'm meant to do with it. The guide says to get the 4th song and rescue Farore but like I've already done all that ages ago. Going back to the trendy game house just does nothing when I'm pretty sure something is meant to happen judging by previous posts. Not sure if this is a similar problem to what's already been noticed, or if this is something else going on. This is pretty much all I need to finish the quest so if I got softlocked that's kinda frustrating lol. I also have read through past posts and I can't visit the Wind Fish again since I've already done all that the first time, just with the trading quest incomplete.

 

Edit: I just used cheats to teleport to the screen mentioned earlier in the thread, but unless I was missing something obvious there definitely should be some way to check for that after already having that cutscene done imo.

Not sure what happened there.

The specific trigger for the end of the sequence is a second cutscene at the Wind Fish.

 

So, first get the 4th song.

This opens the path to level 7, but you have a fiery wall in the way.

 

You must then visit the Wind Fish.

Following this, you will see the cutscene where Farore arrives.

 

Afterwards you must talk to the Wind Fish a second time.

During that scene, a secret is activated in the Trendy Game house.

 

Once you enter the Trendy Game after this, the end of the trading sequence is supposed to happen.

If this doesn't take place, that's definitely a bug.

Without access to your save file, it's unfortunately impossible to say what went wrong.

Attention!!! I confirm that the event referenced in the last two posts is newly discovered bug in the quest.
This bug may or may not be version specific.
The details of the bug are as follows:
During the cutscene where you visit the Wind Fish after rescuing Farore,
you are shown a room on the way to level 7.
What's supposed to happen is the flamethrower stops letting you pass
While you can pass, the flamethrower doesn't stop.

Additionally, the cutscene that concludes the trading sequence doesn't activate.
What this means is that you cannot get the best ending.

I'm currently working on a 2.55 update which will prevent this
In the meantime, just know that the quest possibly can't be completed.
