It's not the loader, that's for sure. My friend and I are both using storebought games and his Wii is 100% up to date with no softmods.One thing that he did was use Scrapper the Robot to bring up a Mogma for the lady at The Lumpy Pumpkin to dig with. He had to descend into a non-erupted Eldin for this sidequest. Maybe that's why? He's for certain got both of the other parts of the song. He has the Hylian Shield from the Thunder Dragon and Faron is already unflooded since he already found all the music note fish.This is driving my friend and me absolutely mad here... I've already beaten the game, so I know what should happen, but it's almost like his game has suffered a fatal glitch that makes this part literally impossible to complete...
When you are collecting the 4 parts of the Song of the Hero, I know that you are supposed to find each of the dragons and get their pieces of the song. He's already got two of the parts - from the Water Dragon and the Thunder Dragon. Now he has to go to Eldin for the piece of the song from the Fire Dragon.
I know that once you descend into Eldin, you are supposed to get caught in a volcanic eruption and have your items stolen. However, this cutscene never happens for him. When descending into Eldin, Fi gives him the choice of where to descend, and he can freely roam around. There's no way to get up to the Fire dragon because, during the eruption, molten rocks start to flow through the lava, allowing you to get to the Dragon. However, since the volcano never erupted for his game, there are no rocks.
Please, we seriously need some help here. We're both totally stumped, and he can't beat his game until this is resolved. We both really appreciate any help. Thanks!!
Sounds really weird. I just did that part and this is sort of what I remember:
Was asked to get the song. Helped the flying whale-dragon. "Fixed" the lightning dragon, and did sidequest for shield and heart-piece.
Went to the volcano and got caught after the eruption. Sneaked my way to the fire dragon.
Then I went to the forest and helped Grouse again.
Probably did some sidequests in between. What does Fi tell you to do?
I'm stucked at this part as well. Maybe the sidequest is not an sidequest? Maybe is mandatory? Because the vulcan eruption never starts, no matter what I do... I'm afraid to have to start all over again and do this part going to Faron Woods, Eldin Vulcan and Lanayru Desert, in this order...
I thought it was my game file (I was playing the leaked one) but already downloaded the proper one and it does the same thing.
If you land at the Vulcan Entry, Fi tells you to look for two Mogmas by three tends. If you land somewhere else, she tells you another thing.
Hmmm, I didn't get the Hylian Shield yet but already got the other two song parts and sent that Old Mogma to Lumpy Pumpkin. But the shield quest and this Lumpy Pumpkin are sidequests that aren't meant to disturb the main quest like this. I'm starting to wonder if it will work with another Wii loader setup... I'll search some other topics before.
I know that the sidequests shouldn't disturb the main quest, but it could be a bug in the game's code. For example, something like this happened in Metroid Other M if I recall. If you turned backwards at one point in the game and saved, one door became locked forever and you couldn't go on. This could be similar. Help the Mogma before you visit the Fire Dragon, prevent the eruption cutscene and make your game unbeatable...
