@bobbiloff you absolute legend. As you say just click R3 don’t hold R3. This worked for me after months of failing to trigger this darn cut scene.

So far I have managed to break the:
• Canterbury - prophecy pig
• Winchestre - baptism
• Glowecestrescire - poison hut witch west of Glowecestre
• Glowecestrescire - help the pregnant lady up the hill

I don’t necessarily mind, because, well it’s kind of gross, but the game generally doesn’t play the final confirm death animation, where the knife plunges into the characters heart / organs.

I’ve managed to reproduce this issue enough times to log a bug.

generally I’m in a mushroom fight when it happens. When in a fight if you are using your bow and do the extra strong double shot (I think) and you get knocked down before you take the shot, then you get stuck on the floor and cannot stand up. At this point you can only wait to die and try again.
