Forgot to mention, I also found the first staff with the amulet piece under the water on the dock, when it should have been on top. I suspect the staff for the Windmill part is also located under where it is supposed to be, I never saw it, although in a youtube walkthrough I saw where it was supposed to appear, under the handle you pull. Was never there.
^ exact sane problem. Scoured the mission area, found no other puzzle piece. I've got a piece in my inventory. Go to location, destroy obstructing objects (regadless of method, I've tried burning, shooting, punching, kicking, and even some dynamite), get a 'ding' sound, run to waypoint, line up symbols, nothing, no prompt, nada. Z brings up binocs, that's all. I even tried plugging in a Xbox controller to see if the d-pad would magically work. Nope. Very frustrating. I've literally spent about as much time trying to get past this mission as I've spent playing the remainder of the game.
er, *SAME problem. The fact that it auto-saves and there's no way to restore back is itself part of the problem. That the mission can't be reset if partially completed. Please, just implement a brute-force 'reset the prophecy' workaround, and perhaps consider implementing a more traditional game save system that doesn't punish the player if a mistake is made. I'm now looking for save editors, memory editors, and anything else I can think of to get past this bug.
Listed as a known bug here https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...ssues-17-02-19 fixed in the next update..
For those who asked, yes I held the key, and I tried it using a X-box controller, neither worked. I did solve both the dock and windmill parts without a problem, but when I got to the steeple (or lighthouse), being the only remaining way-point, while 'seed' appeared there was no 'staff' waiting (I've reviewed videos of people beating this in the hopes it would reveal some hidden object I overlooked). I found a 'piece' under the dock, where I previously had already solved the puzzle. This symbol is floating in the water under the dock where previously it had appeared above prior to solving that part of the trinity. This isn't user error, this is a game bug unrelated to the windmill issue that others have run into. I have a ticket open where I carefully explained all of this and more that I've already tried, only to have the ticket closed with a friendly suggestion to try turning the windmill, then line up, then turn, line up, until windmill is solved. OR leave the mission area to reset. Even though my ticket explained that this was NOT a windmill issue, and leaving the mission area doesn't reset anything, it returns to the same state, two of the three (the dock and windmill) are solved, the third is unsolvable, and I have a symbol piece in my inventory that is most likely meant for the dock puzzle.
