Two Major EA Companion Bugs

Araneae6537 · November 2023

1) In Theatre of War, when my companion was out of health, they knelt in this green circle with an option to “save” when I passed through (having never seen this before and not knowing what it would do, I didn’t use it).

In the fights after that, this continued to happen, most significantly in the fight against Tho’at at the end of arc 1, and Tho’at just stood there with her sword held over my companion while I was free to deal damage until Tho’at was defeated.

Eventually it changed back to normal, I want to say in the next round where I faced the whirlwind marauder, who wasn’t bugged out by my companion doing the green circle thing.

2) Cost me an extra thread by rezzing faster than me after a boss fight — I hit revive but before I could become corporeal, my companion had rezzed and Leroy Jenkins the boss. So I was stuck in waiting for combat to end, for a moment, and then dead again with another thread gone. This was against the Warden boss from the Warden from ICP and I had died near the edge of the arena, but on the opposite side from my companion.

the green circle rez is usually only used in the bonus stages (duel, watcher, goat ones where you could possibly "die"), you just go in the circle and use a synergy to rez

that said it seems weird if it happened on the companion during a normal fight, companions usually dont even spawn during a bonus stage except for the duel one, and it happening on tho'at seems especially unusual

for number 2, i dont think ive had that problem because my companions usually die near instantly in most boss fights, so never had that happen lol

Good to know for future duals! But I’m sure the green circle rez was not meant to persist beyond that stage and it totally bugged out the Tho’at confrontation.

Yeah, as soon as the bosses ramp up beyond trivial, it doesn’t seem that any amount of heals or wearing quickened armor can save them. I’m not entirely sure what happened, only that combat somehow resumed before I could fully rez and then it cost me another thread when the companion went down a moment later.
