Category 6 After the Lighthouse: Repair and Cross the Bridge
Quick Answer
After the lighthouse in Category 6, repair the wooden bridge and cross it. That is the next story action in the saved developer reply. The same reply says a fallback was added to turn off wrong navigation text at the lighthouse top or on a lighthouse save, but describes those changes as planned for the next update. Without later patch evidence, do not assume that fallback shipped or use it as the main route. Treat the bridge as the supported objective, check whether your current objective text points elsewhere, and report the exact build and save context if repairing and crossing the bridge does not advance the story.

Guide details
Before you begin
Follow the developer-supported next objective after the lighthouse while keeping an announced navigation-text fallback separate from shipped behavior.
The next Category 6 story objective after reaching the lighthouse and the planned-status boundary for the wrong-navigation-text fallback. Not a full route, material recipe, patch confirmation, hidden-toggle guide, or personal playtest.

- The saved reply confirms repairing and crossing the wooden bridge as the next story action. The navigation-text fallback remains an announced next-update change, not a verified shipped feature.
Before you set out
Prerequisites#
- Confirm that you have reached the lighthouse story point covered by the saved discussion, not a similarly named location or an earlier navigation problem.
- Separate the current objective from the announced fallback. The bridge instruction is the developer's direct answer; the navigation-text fallback was described only as planned for a later update.
- Preserve your visible objective text, current build information, and whether the save was made at the lighthouse before testing the bridge route.
Category 6 after the lighthouse: the short answer#
The saved developer reply answers the progression question directly: the next story action after the lighthouse is fixing and crossing the wooden bridge. Use that as the supported route. The reply does not name a different quest, hidden interaction, map exit, or item requirement. It also discusses wrong navigation text at the lighthouse, but that is a separate issue. Keeping those two statements apart prevents an announced text fallback from replacing the actual story objective. This page is based on a saved developer response, not a personal playtest, and search volume and keyword difficulty remain Unknown.
Route 02
Repair and cross the wooden bridge#
Use one clean progression check so you can tell whether the bridge objective or the navigation text is the part that is blocked.
Record the objective shown at the lighthouse#
Copy the visible objective text or take a privacy-safe screenshot. If it still points to the lighthouse after you reached the location, note the exact wording. The developer reply acknowledges wrong navigation text in this area, so the text and intended story action may not match. Recording the original state gives you a useful before-and-after comparison without assuming the display has already been corrected in your build.
Find the wooden bridge tied to the route#
Follow the surrounding route until you identify the wooden bridge that can be repaired. The saved answer establishes the bridge as the next story object, but it does not preserve a compass bearing, map coordinate, material list, interaction key, or complete route from the lighthouse. Use the ordinary path and prompts that your build exposes; do not invent a landmark sequence or claim that every bridge in the area is part of this objective.
Complete the repair shown by your current build#
Use the repair interaction and requirements displayed in the game. The evidence confirms that repairing the bridge is required, but it does not enumerate materials, quantities, crafting steps, or a universal key binding. Keep those details tied to what your screen actually shows. If the repair prompt is absent or cannot complete, record the prompt, inventory state, build, and result rather than guessing at a recipe or reset.
Cross the repaired bridge and check progression#
After the repair completes, cross the bridge and observe whether the story advances or the objective changes. Crossing is part of the developer's answer, not an optional sightseeing step. Note the result immediately. If the bridge is repaired but crossing does not advance the story, keep that separate from a case where the bridge could not be repaired; the saved reply provides no additional verified fix for either branch.
Fault ledger
Troubleshoot the lighthouse-to-bridge step without inventing a fix#
- The objective still points to the lighthouse
- Use the developer-supported bridge action as the intended next step, but record the wrong text before proceeding. Do not claim that a fallback is active unless your current build visibly exposes and successfully applies it.
- I cannot find or repair the wooden bridge
- The saved answer does not provide coordinates, required materials, or an input sequence. Record the visible route, prompt, inventory, and build, then seek a current version-specific answer instead of publishing an invented recipe or location.
- The bridge is repaired, but crossing it does not advance the story
- Preserve the objective before and after crossing, the repair result, save context, and build. The source confirms the intended action but supplies no verified reload, save edit, death loop, or console repair for a failed progression update.
- A newer patch mentions lighthouse navigation
- Check the exact release note, build, and behavior before updating the conclusion. A shipped versioned fix can supersede the planned-status boundary, but an old announcement or generated summary cannot.
Pocket list 05
Record a clean lighthouse progression report#
- Save context — note whether this is a save made at the lighthouse, a continued save, or a new approach to the location.
- Objective text — preserve exactly what the game shows before you leave the lighthouse area.
- Bridge state — record whether the bridge is visible, whether a repair prompt appears, and whether the repair completes.
- Crossing result — note whether crossing changes the objective or advances the story, without mixing it with later actions.
- Version boundary — include current build or update evidence and do not call the announced fallback shipped unless current evidence proves it.
- Unknowns — leave coordinates, material quantities, input keys, hidden toggles, and extra recovery steps Unknown when your build or a current source does not establish them.
Field questions
Category 6 after-lighthouse questions#
- What do I do after reaching the lighthouse in Category 6?
- Repair the wooden bridge and cross it. That is the next story action in the saved developer reply.
- Is the lighthouse navigation-text fallback already available?
- Not proven by the saved evidence. The reply describes it as a change planned for the next update, so later patch evidence is required before calling it shipped.
- What materials are needed to repair the bridge?
- The source used here does not list materials or quantities. Follow the current in-game prompt and keep missing requirements Unknown rather than inventing a recipe.
- What if crossing the repaired bridge does not progress the story?
- Record the build, save context, objective text, repair result, and crossing result. The saved developer reply provides no additional verified recovery step.
