Activate the boots
Owning Songtreads in Equipment Bag → Core does not activate them. The reviewed PC report uses G to open the backpack and selects the boot tile. Look for visible boots and musical notes; reselect the item if another equipped item removes them. Other devices should use their own displayed controls. Activation report
Approach the gap
Follow Bluestone Approach toward the cavern entrance. With the boots active, allow space for a forward run-up. The reports agree that movement and activation matter, but do not establish one verified jump sequence for the current version. Progression overview
Conflicting reports: airborne jumps
Not resolved: AllThingsHow reports a running jump and says another jump input has no effect until landing. SportsRant describes repeated airborne jumps. We have not tested which behaviour matches the current game. Do not treat a fixed number of button presses or a crossing duration as a requirement. Check your current ability prompts and practise on safe ground. AllThingsHow · SportsRant
Confirm arrival
The activation report checks for the Bluestone Caverns area title and completion of Beyond the Grove. A failed crossing does not establish a missing level gate; first recheck activation and the active objective. Arrival report
If the reward is missing
Return to the Songtreads guide and verify the post-race conversation. This page covers the entrance only, not a complete cavern walkthrough.
