I had not unlocked empowered monoliths yet (nor completed any unempowered monolith) nor defeated any harbinger, and I was tagging along with my husband with him selecting nodes. We completed The Last Ruin (unempowered). Then we progressed to and were fighting the boss of The Age of Winter (unempowered) which was the last monolith he needed to unlock empowered monoliths. I died during the fight, but he finished it and a harbinger showed up and he killed that.
After that we were able to go to The Shattered Road. He said there was an NPC present with quest, but for me the NPC was invisible with only a chat bubble floating around that I couldnāt interact with.
Iām guessing this will unlock for me when I have completed Spirits of Fire and therefore unlocked empowered monoliths, but I suppose the fix would be to make the NPC interactable and say something like āyou donāt have the right oh you donāt have the rightā or whatever to people that are just there tagging along.
Same bug here. Playing in multiplayer 2 people, I could speak with Shattered Road NPC but the other person saw it invisible and couldnāt interact with it. Heās doing again last monolith alone to see if that fixes the problem.
My issue started out identically, but has changed since the most recent patch. Where the NPC was originally invisible, I can now see them. However, I am still unable to initiate a conversation, despite the ellipsis suggesting I should be able to do so. Incidentally, I have no quests in my list that arenāt Completed but, oddly, have a side-quest indicator on the Ancient Era that I am unable to explain.
Iām hoping for a solution in the next batch of bug-fixes, but Iām becoming increasingly worried that my character (level 97) is bugged beyond repair.
