On a farm only played in online multiplayer. We finished the Qi's 'Danger in the Deep' quest and unlocked the ability to toggle hard mode in the mines.
At first I didn't know anything was wrong, but I did think it was odd that after the quest was over the mines were still in hard mode. Then we got a quest to kill bats in the mines and found that no matter how many times we toggle it the mines won't go back to normal. The statue on floor 120 will give the text saying do you want to release the seal, (suggesting that the seal is on & they should be normal) but going in, the mines are in hard mode. When we toggle it the text tells us different things depending on whether we've turned it 'on' or 'off', but the mines themselves never change back to normal mode
The last thing we tried was to have each player turn it "on" and "off" in consecutive days (e.g. I did "on", next day checked the mine, then "off" & checked again the day after) but it didn't work. I did a little googling & found that other people have had this problem, but they were on pc & could edit their savefile, which isn't possible on Switch. We also didn't have anything to do with the hard mode skull cavern quest either. (None of us wants to do that)
This is super frustrating since without it going back to normal mode, there are other quests we're locked out of being able to do. (Like the ectoplasm one) Also whatever monster eradication we haven't finished yet
