On the final encounter in vLC hm, the tether that is spawned by Dariel Lemonds (which links the farthest player to the knot holder) is frequently killing the tethered player as the tether mechanic ends, always exactly as the timer runs out.

This does not happen every time, but probably around half the time, with no obvious cause or way of avoiding it. The tether is supposed to kill anyone who touches it, other than the tethered players. However, it is killing the tethered player when the mechanic ends, even if no one touches it. The death recap shows the sole damage taken as 'arcane conveyance', which is the name of the tether mechanic.

This has been present on console since vLC release, and while it was supposedly fixed on PC in PTS patch 10.0.4, it has not been fixed on console. In fact, this thread seems to suggest that it has not been fixed on PC either: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/661980/vlchm-arcane-conveyance-1-shotting-the-tethered-psna

This bug significantly frustrates teams progressing the trifecta, as a flawless run has a sizeable chance of ending to an unavoidable bug at this stage, which is 20+ minutes into a run.

A video of this bug can be seen below, where the tethered player instantly gets 1 shot by the tether as the tether ends and the timer ticks to 0.
