Hi,

I finally got through the, in my opinion, annoying cannon trial, where you get fired out of a cannon and try to fly through rings without crashing into things. I crashed into the final gate, however, but the game treated it as if though I had cleared the stage. I got the dialogue where the merchant's henchmen said they were giving me some cash. This happened on the same screen where I crashed. I didn't get back to the screen where the trial started.

After this, I was teleported to an empty screen (save for clouds), where Owlboy just keeps falling and falling and falling. No ground is ever reached. I'd like to get help with this. I can't reload the save file, as I then start in this endless falling loop. I'm not really keen on restarting the game from the beginning, either. Please advice.

EDIT: I tried going up for some time and then I got to where the stage was. I was still out of bounds. I was able to run within the walls and fly around the stage set pieces. After a while I found out I could enter the stage again by going to the left, up a bit and then right. At this point, the character was within bounds again.

So, as of now, the game works for me again, but I suppose this still needs to be addressed.

The same happened to me, I'll try to do the same :D
Thanks for the help

Edit : Everything went back to normal. I went up until I met the area of the minigame, then found a hole to reload the area on the bottom left side of the map.

Oh, all right. I've now tried this fucking challenge 500+ times but have never been able to reach the exit. No idea how far from it I actually managed to make it. Could be one screen, could be dozens.

Good to know the bugs are waiting should that ever be the case. :( :( :(

Is it necessary to catch all of the rings upon completion? Because in that case, I can forget about this evil fuckery altogether.

I finally made it through without the bug, don't ask me how many times I had to try.

The money counter shows 79 out of 300 coins for this challenge... which basically means I'll never get that cloak. :( :( :( :( :( :(

What I did get was a pristine seashell, and I haven't got a clue what to do with it.
I most certainly can empathize. The cannon challenge was too hard, in my opinion. Glad to hear you managed to avoid the bug, though! I suppose you didn't crash into the final gate. I believe that triggers the bug.

I also only got a few of all the collectable coins in the cannon trial. I'm not going to redo it, however, as I'm not really up for starting over with this sequence and then searching the entire game world for the rest of the missing coins.

NOTE: The text below contains spoilers in regard to the sea shell.

As for the sea shell, I found out you can use it if you go immediately left after leaving Vellie. It's were you can inspect some kind of monument, leaving Otus looking sad. Examining this spot with the sea shell in my inventory triggered a dialogue between Otus and Geddy for me.

No, I absolutely crashed into the final gate. :)

And unless you somehow have hopes of collecting ALL the coins in that challenge, well... I think it's just not sensible to repeat it anyway. :(
