Problem with crypt of hearts

qwjr8989_ESO

Hi there! I play with the same 3 friends everyday and have been since the game came out

A long time ago 3 of us including myself got the achievement for survivor of crypt of hearts (no death run) and our last friend was not there for it.

We have been trying to get it for him for months now and simply can't due to a bug

The final boss picks up a person with the sword and we kill the damage shield and the person falls. The person then lands on the ground unable to move or act for about 4 seconds and then explodes for all their health and insta dies.

We have tried this run 2-5 times a week for about 6 months and this bug happens every single time.

Last night we decided to experiment. We tried to see if we could dps past it but we couldn't. Then we came up with the idea we were damaging it too quickly. So we took out 1/2 the damage shield and then told our friend to tell us when the synergy came up. He told us the synergy wasn't appear and then he just exploded.

I've tried googling this problem but I don't see anyone having a problem with it. Same with my guild.

Anyone know a work around to this bug? Or how to fix it? I'm surprised it's never been patched despite being around since imperial city's release

Maybe the devs just don't know?

I've only done Crypt of Hearts once, so correct me if I am wrong.

When the final boss picks up a person, is there an option for the person to select "X" to prevent them from dying when he/she is released?


edit: I found this on another thread.

The person that gets picked up can also click on X (default synergy key) to stop his necrotic thingy which he does when lifting a person up. It stops him from basically draining the person lifted up's health.

Me and my group actually had this same bug when we were trying to no death it. We then tried it again and it didn't happen. No idea why or what causes it but my butt cheeks were clenched on the second time.

Never had this problem before.

My only problem with the COH no death run is A, the boss before the final one; if you don't DPS it quickly enough, group members are at the mercy of RNG, and B, running COH on pledge day, and dpsing boss too much, so having to wipe to do HM.

Never seen this problem. Did this dungeon earlier today with 0 issues. You have to burn through his shield

Also you have to spam synergy even if you dont see it

That's always happened. Best way to combat it is put healing ward on them and they won't die, shield cancels it out. I know exactly what you mean. He'll get dropped by nerenith and not be able to move and just bang....dead.

If you put some serious burn on him nerenith drops in like 20s though. Also your friend may have pop ups turned off so he won't get the synergy prompt.

I suspect this is the solution. Synergies in this game can be a bit finicky about showing up, and sometimes will only very briefly appear if at all. If you spam the synergy key you might get the synergy to work even if it never shows up on the screen as being available.

Problem with the crypt of hearts.
Usually in the eyes of the beholder lies.
It's just like playing a game of cards.
Everything seems random, yet it's a guise.

I sense a lack of knowledge or skill.
That's why you can't the monster kill.
Then again, maybe I'm just bored.
Hoping my crazy ravings will stay ignored.

whats worked for us every time was when hes at 35% is (when he grabs sword and does the 'stun everyone' move right before he does that) is u just spam the F(synergy key for me) as fast as u can, regardless (IE: All 4 ppl are spamming that key when still 'stunned' - 3 will be released and can continue to dps while the 4th gets lifted)

It seems that works every time, and i never see the 'hit F to break necrosis' synergy thing appear.

It comes down to dps. You need to do more damage to the boss while the friend is being held in the air. That's what solves the instant kill.

I learned this the hard way too.

More dps. Press synergy. Dont stand in aoe

That's the most beautiful and non-offensive "L2P" I've ever seen

My dps friend and I each deal 30k dps and I'm a magicka templar so my execute is at 40% we drop the shield within 3-4 seconds. The problem isn't the dps it's that he sets them down and walks over to us to attack the person he is holding just sits there unable to move as though they are stunned and then after about 4 seconds explodes and dies.

We have been for a couple weeks spamming x as soon as we get picked up and that doesn't fix it either.

qwjr8989_ESO

We have no problem with any other boss and we don't actually have any problem with this boss. Even when someone dies we still kill him a few seconds later and on the boss before it we kill him before he can pull someone into him. We are being held back soley by the boss instantly exploding someone after we break the shield.

The captured player needs to spam the synergy button. Barrier might work too.

qwjr8989_ESO

We have been testing it all night and seem to have narrowed it down to a factor of two things

1. pressing x before the synergy shows up

2. dpsing too fast that the synergy doesn't have a chance to come up

so we're gonna try with 1 dps and wait on pressing x

Since this thread is fairly old, we've decided to close it. If you'd like to start a new discussion feel free to do so.

Thanks!
