I THINK I SOFT LOCKED MY EARHBOUND GAME

I currently am trying to go to Scaraba and fight the Kraken. I've already gotten Pink Cloud, and Magnet hill. The issue is the sailor doesn't let me go through, he just says the line of dialogue about being afraid of the Kraken. I already have talked to his wife and gotten the magic cake and Poo so I don't really know what to do.

The Your Sanctuary locations i have is Giant Step, Raincy Circle, Magnet Hill, and Pink Cloud
