Wayrest Sewers I - Varaine Pellingare not jumping down to the players

feyii · October 2016

Yesterday, we were doing the Wayrest Sewers I plegde. When we entered the room with Varaine Pellingare one of our group already said that the last time they were in there, this boss didn't come down to fight the players.

We went on, killed the mobs and, as prophesied, this boss didn't come down to us. Instead he attacked from the upper walkway where he initially stands. Since the door to go on only opens after he is defeated, we were lucky, that we were three werewolfs, who were able to jump up to the boss instead, plus our ranged healer. Of course, on the upper walkway there were already more mobs which are normally intended for later.

All in all this bug makes it really tedious (for some even impossible) to complete this encounter and thus the whole dungeon.

Not sure if this also happens in Wayrest Sewers II.

More seriously, this is (sadly) not a new bug. In the Wayrest Sewers II, what might happen is that there's a door that only opens after some friendly NPCs finish a conversation. Sometimes they never start it, thus the door remains closed, at which point you're in to restart the entire dungeon.

I ran into this yesterday, too. Our group (those who were alive, 2 were trying to wipe to reset) went into one of the tunnels and that reset him, at which point he jumped down.

I have been farming this dungeon recently for the Toothrow set, done it about 20 times and can say that this bug still isn't fixed. In addition, there is another one. Sometimes one or two players were locked before the door leading to Varaine Pellingare and could not enter till the other members kill Varaine or get wiped.
