vLChm Arcane Conveyance 1-shotting the "Tethered" PSNA

NierielSootica · July 7

I have a hardmode team that is encountering a reoccurring bug where the tether that forms between the knotbearer and the furthest player from them, while Dariel Lemonds is alive, ends up dealing 35,503 damage to the person tethered to, 1-shotting them. It doesn't seem to happen at any particular period of the tethers duration, but does seem to happen when the distance between the knotbearer and tethered is being reduced, from either players movement. This has happened to multiple players in our group during.

Several of my own deaths to this can be seen in this video:

Asking around, it seems that some players encountered this on PC on the PTS before Lucent Citadel hit live but not heard of anyone encountering it on PC since. Is anyone else encountering this issue at all?

Update: Heard of some PC players still encountering on Live now too

watching the video it looks like it frequently occurs on stairs

my guess is that the stairs are triggering a break in the tether because of some weird LOS issue, and breaking the tether is what causes the death

Yeah, we've noticed that too and tried avoiding the stairs while holding it, and it does occur less but does still happen occasionally. Always the last tick of the tether.

Further testing it seems like it's not so much with the stairs but with either party moving as the tether has it's final tick
