Gave the new update a try: activated the maid quest but the ! mark is in the escape area from getting captured behind the bus... bombing the top left wall and ends the escape while entering the top right door starts the captured sequence where the enemies mess with you & the warden frees you back to the map. I assume I am missing something obvious but it has me stumped.
Oh, no no. While that bus-kidnapping warehouse is technically in the same location, it is (at least currently?) not actually connected to the rest of it. To enter the Gangster Docks you need to do the same that was done to enter Nightless City and Skyscraper - just walk into the
subway station after the dialogue with the maid, and the option to go there will be available. I was also a bit confused at first until I remembered that subway is a feature.
The charms of doing things months apart from each other.
Oh, and about The Hierophant escape sequence... is it actually supposed to be
that easy and simplistic on Normal? I know that the situation completely changes on higher difficulties, but the first time I almost felt as if something bugged out and some sort of event/mechanic didn't trigger (especially since the jellyfish were completely ignoring me, but as it turns out, that is in fact a feature). You can pretty much run to the exit just like that without anything stopping you.
As for an actual bug - pretty sure there is an issue, that during the sequence if player quickly interacts with another spore/tentacle while the gas-to-liveliness transition from the first one is still ongoing, then the second interaction won't inflict any gas to the player.
