Troubleshooting: Help I'm Stuck

Solutions for common blockers / stuck points.
Feb 2, 2026

The "I Keep Falling" Loop

Symptom: You try the same move 5 times and fall. Solution:

  1. Stop. You are probably tilted and lower on resources than attempt #1.
  2. Look for Alternative: Is there a side path?
  3. Check Gear: Are you overloaded? Drop "Bulky" junk.
  4. Check Aava: Is she injured? If yes, retreat to Bivouac.

The "Nowhere to Go" Problem

Symptom: All holds are out of reach. Solution:

  1. Look Down: Did you miss a traverse lower down?
  2. Look Dynamic: Some holds require a Lunge (Hold Direction + Jump).
  3. Look Hidden: Use Camera Mode. Sometimes holds are around a corner or hidden in shadow.

The "Out of Stamina" Wall

Symptom: A section is too long; you gas out before the next ledge. Solution:

  1. Piton Rest: Place a piton in the middle of the wall. Hang on it. Restore to 100%. Continue.
  2. Consumables: Eat a "Stamina Burst" food mid-climb (Quick Item).
  3. Speed: You might be climbing too slow through the easy parts. Flow through the easy, rest before the hard.

The "Softlock" (Glitch?)

Symptom: Aava is stuck in geometry. Solution:

  • Pause -> Unstuck (if available).
  • Or: Use "Undo Last Move" repeatedly.
  • Last Resort: Reload Checkpoint (Bivouac).
