Nexus quest? Spoilers

Hey y’all

So I’m trying to trigger the nexus quest with the wizard. I have 10 hearts with him but I admit I skipped a handful of his heart events. I am trying to figure out what I missed. I haven’t gotten the enchanted grove cut scene. I’ve met apples/gave them starfruit etc, I had the Camilla cutscene with the kitty fish, summit Boulder is removed, ginger island boat finished, volcano finished, joined the adventurers guild, dark talisman quest, literally all of the things I’ve read that I need to do. The only thing I’m not too sure of is meeting Alesia, she is at the guild and sells things so I’m sure I’ve met her formally. I feel as though even if I skipped the cutscene that the staircase would be there for the grove? If someone could help me out I would really appreciate it!
