I was fighting Lagon to move onward in the monoliths. I beat him, got to choose my blessing, but like one second after I killed him, I got hit by an errant wave. The problem with this is timing. He dies, a big blessings screen pops up so I can’t see my screen, and boom, I get hit by one of his last waves. This all happened in about 1-2 seconds. I accept the blessing, get taken back to the waypoint, and what do I find? The blessing is active, but all my stability has been reset AND I can’t move on until I do the monolith stability grind all over again. However, all my mono nodes are still active…
This is unfortunately a well known issue with dying after killing a end boss. This can potentially happen in various places in the game is not unique to the Lagon fight. It can sometimes happen when an unkilled mob is still attacking or even if you die to DoT after the fact. There is even a reverse issue where your minions kill the boss after you have actually died.
The devs are aware of this issue and have confirmed its variations as unintended bugs. They just havent fixed the issues yet.
The blessing window covering the screen is something that has been asked about many times too - not only for this specific problem but also because it blocks checking your character sheet to help make the blessing choice.
Thanks. I am enjoying the beta and I am glad after coming back; 2 years later there is a lot more content. I did a forum search and saw some complaints about boss mobs or spells killing after the fact. I didn’t see anything about the stability reset, though, which is my main issue. Fighting Lagon again is annoying, but overall not a problem. However, GRINDING to fight Lagon again is 10x more annoying, lol.
Stability. yes, thats just another added consequence of the issue. I think the reason why you didnt see much complaint about it is that in empowered monos, its much easier to gain stability so losing the required amount for the boss fight isnt that bad.
Obviously in normal monoliths, its defintely a slog and you have to run the first two quests again (you dont in empowered monoliths).
Soooo, I just went to play/sign in on another character (a primalist where I have no idea what I am doing), and then restarted the game. After the new login/character switch, the pathway opened to the Fall of the Empire waypoint. So it will resolve itself even if you tank after a fight, it just needs a character switch/relog. Still a bit of a bug, tho.
Yip. Restarting/reloading can open the pathway cause the game has ticked off that you killed the boss in the save, but from what I understand it doesnt always work and obviously thats only for mono bosses.
Definitely still a general problem with boss deaths.
