Quick answer
Patch 3 states that enemies near the bridge no longer respawn. Update the Prologue before using an older route or repeatedly clearing the same group.
Verified July 18, 2026. This guide separates confirmed facts from unannounced features.
What changed
The fix is location-specific: it refers to enemies near the bridge. It does not establish a global rule that no enemy anywhere in Neverway can respawn.
Verify current behavior
Install the latest build, approach through the normal route, defeat the group, leave the immediate area, and return once. Record whether the same enemies return after a scene change, reload, death, or full restart.
Report a regression
Include patch date, exact bridge, route direction, enemies defeated, trigger used to leave, and whether the save predates Patch 3. This distinguishes a regression from intended encounters in another location.
