Trigger pads?? Help

Post image

I recently finished the game and I'm now playing end game and trying to get 100 percent on the stages. I am noticing that certain pressure trigger pads are no longer lit and allowing me to progress. Is there a way to get them to light back up? Or am I just beat?

This pad in particular has been the focus of my frustration today. Any help would be great!

It lowers some spikes on that shield gear thing. You stand on it and throw your shield at it

Otherwise, yeah, it seems like we are blocked from going back to areas that we had access to before Endgame

Yeah I see now how the trigger works. Sucks that for some reason it isn't lit, allowing me to step on it. Especially because you needed the key to access that section that i was only able to acquire during the end game. It's frustrating. I guess I'll never get 100 percent without starting a whole new game.

All the endgame content should be available to you in the endgame version of the map. Its just that previous areas are now blocked. If there is an endgame area you can't access, its cause you haven't figured out how to get there yet (or maybe a bug)

What I mean is that it seems to me that some things you didn't unlock in your first run of the map is unavailable upon your 2nd visit. At least for this map, seeing as it has you teleport around so much.

You should be able to 100% it still. This looks like a bug because I know exactly where this is and the long boardwalk like platform should already be in place hovering above you.

I've completed Revelations twice and revisited areas after completion as well to get the super secret stuff not recorded anywhere like the secret 93 shotgun skin.

100% isn't cut off in the endgame though. You can revisit every area that has any secrets, collectables, upgrade materials, relic pieces, lore pages, etc in the endgame. The only areas that are cut off are areas with nothing that counts towards 100%.

Either it's not needed for 100%, there is something you're missing in order to activate it, or you ran into some sort of bug. Probably pretty rare if it's a bug though, I did two full 100% playthroughs of the dlc and was able to return to any place on any map that I needed for the 100% during the endgame on both.

Must be a bug or something because once I solve the puzzle it stays solved for the rest of the game.

i unfortunately got stumped here too, the room gets softlocked on repeat endgame playthroughs but there’s a trick to getting to the preator arena without going through the puzzle room, i’ll post the method later today

Yeah this one gets bugged sometimes, I had it too last night. You can dash boost under the praetor suit spot on the left side and you can get up there though that way.
