📋 About This Mod

Allows you to manually skip the Merlin Trial Cinematics

skip like you skip any other cinematic (Hold 'Right Click' on mouse & keyboard, hold 'Triangle/Y' on controller)

FAST TRAVELING MAY CAUSE THE GAME TO CRASH, THIS IS RELATED TO THE GAZEBO NOT FULLY BUILDING WHEN SKIPPING. I AM LOOKING AT AN ALTERNATIVE WAY TO SKIP
