Lair of Maarselok fourth boss won't jump down

Boss fight started fine, he came down within about 3 minutes of starting. Next phase took about 5 minutes. Third phase took 15 minutes to get him to come down. We were on top of stranglers, adds and hoarvors. Not a single slip up in mechs yet the boss didn't jump down for 20 minutes. That cannot be right. We had the same problem when he hit the fourth phase and died due to lack of resources with my DPS counter reading the fight at 29 minutes long. For such a painfully dull boss fight, for it to be dragged out with a bug like this is appalling. We just gave up and lost what would have been a comfortable clear. I did this fight before with a lower DPS and less organised group and we cleared it in 15 minutes.

✭✭✭✭✭Did you log the run? If so, could you take a look at what the "Spider at Top" buff on the boss looked like?Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

We noticed this during a run a few days ago; boss took a really long time to come down the first time, despite us following mechanics. We were beginning to wonder if the fight was bugged, but he did come down eventually, and the rest of the phases continued normally.
On a different note, we wanted to run by the adds between bosses to make it faster to the last boss, so we wiped to them or let them de-aggro and moved ahead, but when we made it to the summit, we couldn't go through the portal. We figured that we had to deal with the adds and do the cleansing route, but the portal was still closed. Eventually we killed all adds that we had left behind, but we still couldn't enter the final boss area. Just a small side note, so that others don't repeat our mistake

@Jaimeh I think that the long grounding times is the result of a design problem and not necessarily a bug; see the link in my post above for why I think that this is the case. If you see in your logs that you are losing stacks of the "Spider at Top" buff and can correlate those losses with spider deaths, then it would appear that you were just very unfortunate.
This is why I was curious about what people see in the logs when they do run into this problem.On a different note, we wanted to run by the adds between bosses to make it faster to the last boss, so we wiped to them or let them de-aggro and moved ahead, but when we made it to the summit, we couldn't go through the portal.

The gate to the final boss doesn't open if someone has the seed and hasn't cleansed.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

It could be just that, since the long delay only happened for his first landing. Unfortunately, I don't think anybody was logging the encounter, so I can't confirm it.
As for the gate, we made sure all of us cleased, multiple times in fact, but it still wouldn't open, not sure if not killing the adds leading the summit, in order, played a part in that.Edited by Jaimeh on August 27, 2019 11:01PM0
