Intro
Hello, I just want to start by saying that if the object that is stuck in your game is the player, there's already a easy guide on how to fix it made by Royal Fool right here : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=258744692

If however, it is an object that is stuck (part of a statue / shard) , here's a somewhat complex guide on how to fix it.

Locate the save file
To fix this you're gonna need two files :`
  • The progress save file
  • The Zone save file

To get the first one , simply go to your steam directory and then
SteamApps / Common / Secrets of Raetikon / Save / Sync / Master.

In there you should see a bunch of file, one of them being "user.progress". That is your progress save file.

Now to get the other one, simply exit the game close to the object that you want to unstuck. Now, open the user.progress save file with any text editing software and you should see different values like "player position", "health", "lives". Search for "lastLevelName" and its value. That is the name of the map where your object is stuck. Once again, go in SteamApps / Common / Secrets of Raetikon / Save / Sync / Master and find the file with the name of the "lastLevelName" value. It should look something like this : user.sp.LEVELNAME.sync.

That is the Zone save file.
Fix the Problem
To fix the issue, were gonna have to modify the stuck object's position values in the zone save file.
To do so, we'll first have to find the object in the zone save file. Open both files now. If you quit the game close to the stuck object, then the object's position and the player's position should be close.

First, find the character's position in the "user.progress" file. It should be the numbers after "playerPosition=". The first number represents the horizontal distance while the second one represents the height. To find the stuck object, simply open the second file and search it (Ctrl-f) using the position value of the player.

For exemple, if the player's position is -65.231 and 24.532. Search for numbers close to these, like "-63" , "-64" , "-65", "-66" or "-67" . Once you find objects that have these position, look at the object's name. it the name fits what the stuck object is, then simply change it's position numbers to the character's position found in the "user.progress" file.

Save the file and close them. Launch your game and the object should now be right on your character.

Glad you could work it out. This is a great game despite some bugs.

Thanks a lot!
I got stuck in the swamp stage because I used up all my collected silver on two different shard-towers and wasn't able to active the door to the area where you have to build the two statues to open the giant falcons mouth to the last region.
With your guide, I was able to relocate the rocks at the second entry and could complete the game.
