The Genesis Order: Strength Increase Bug (Workarounds)
Short answer
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Open your inventory and use the crafted Seeds of Strength. Complete the workout with Heather and talk to Larry at the gym.
How to fix it
- Open your inventory and use each of the three Seeds of Strength you have crafted.
- After using the seeds, go to the gym and complete the workout with Heather.
- When the workout is finished, talk to Larry at the gym to trigger the final strength update.
If it still doesn't work
- Double‑check that all three Seeds of Strength have been used, not just equipped or held in inventory.
- Make sure you are speaking to Larry after the Heather workout; talking to him before may prevent the strength boost from applying.
- Verify that you have actually completed the entire workout sequence with Heather; partial completion may not count.
- If the strength still shows only +4, consider re‑using the seeds and repeating the workout‑talk sequence once more.
- As a last resort, reload an earlier save from before you crafted the seeds and repeat the steps, ensuring each action is performed in the order listed.
What players reported
Hello! I am at the point in the story where I need to be able to move boulders with +5 strength, I have crafted all 3 seeds of strength, but my strength is still only +4. I think my strength must not have increased after training with Larry - or was this a miss-able part of the story?
