- I have cleared out all green pillars and there are no more Bounties on my map!
Your exploration level might not be high enough to have unlocked the respective areas yet. To fix this, keep solving exploration targets elsewhere, and the newer areas will eventually unlock.
If your exploration level is high enough and you still don’t see any new light pillars, you might need to share a meal with the others. Some cutscenes ONLY happen when all of the characters sit down to eat, and some of these cutscenes are mandatory to progress the story.
Some Bounties are also obtained by defeating story bosses, so if you try to postpone the next boss until after you fully recovered, it won’t work. Keep in mind that you can offset the debuff with food bonuses to gain back your former fighting power - at least temporarily.
- I have found a bunch of Bounties but my stats are still halved!
Just obtaining the Bounty isn’t enough - you need to use it as well. And to use it, you have to put it into the fertilizer and then spread the fertilizer on your field.
The same goes for the Orb of Transformation by the way.
