Hello everyone. Sorry to bother you wth this since I know lots of other people get problems with this. I bought the game on steam and have been having a much easier time than my housemates. Colour is quite abundant despite not using any easy mode cheats. I thought I would get the game finished by cycle 30, but I've been unable to draw the breakthrough glyph and the game has travelled to cycle 34.

I beat Montgolfier and took the heart. The breakthrough glyph is in my journal list. I have filled all my hearts with colour no problem and my chosen sister (Eli) has had all 4 hearts filled. My health bar is flashing, however the only two prompts for glyphs that I get are donor and vampire. I have been plunderning forums and something suggested that maybe I need to have all my lympha containers full as well. I spent some time doing that with the help of farming from the scorpio, but am still unable to draw the glyph. The only think I have left to do is fill all my hearts with my sister's favorite colour and then try it but this seems like more than other people would have had to do.

The only clue I have that there may be an error is that when I took the final heart from Montgolfier, I went straight to the void. There was no video showing the heart in my body along with a video of it;s usage. I have been able to access the video in my journal, but I am wondering if the game didn't recognise it as being collected. Maybe something was meant to have been said before I stepped from the battleground into the void. Maybe I grabbed the heart while I was on the exit portal (I have had that happen during one other brother battle.)

I still have Tyrant to kill, however I have all 21 hearts and he isn't bothering me.

Any suggestions? If the game has gliched then I can feel better by watching the ending video on Youtube or something knowing that I have finished the game as much as this playthrough would let me.

Thanks for any advice.

It might seem silly, but have you tried pulling all of the color out of yourself, and then putting it back in, immediately before talking to Eli?
My issue was a little different, as I think the game simply messed up reading my total color count, but it might help.

Actually. I tell a lie. My health bar does not flash, that was the sister's progress bar. I killed Tyrant but that doesn't do anything. Will try killing the scorpio as well. Does it have to be after a certain cycle? Or do all my hearts have to be my sister's favorite colour? Or do I need to have more than my hearts in my body full?I just want to know exactly what someone else had to do.

Actually, I just managed it. A let's play on youtube showed me how to do it I've been filling my hearts and my lympha containers, when I should have filled my hearts and nerva instead. Makes more sense, but I couldn't find it spelled out that way anywhere else. Thank you for your advice all the same
