I'm probably not the only one who's dealt with this glitch in world 3-1, but I acquired the Prison of Hope 2F W Cell Key in world 3-2, and I went back to 3-1 and rescued Rydyell. However, I can't open the gate (at the top of the steps) for the East side of the Second Floor. That means that I can't get the 2F E Cell Key, which means I can't get the Rogue's set, the Paring Dagger, and some Mercurystone chunks. Fortunately, It's not my first playthrough with this particular character, so I already have those items, but I still want access to that area.
So, my question is, aside from waiting for the next game, does anyone know of a way to get the 2F E gate to open, once the glitch occurs?
