Solstice (Last Boss of the Main Story) Glitch?

robwolf666

*Spoiler*

So, I was fighting Mannimarco during the last fight of the story. I got a fair way through and there was a brief pause during the fighting when he went on one of his rants, and I took the time to res my companion... However, M then simply vanished, and I couldn't continue to fight him. However, I realised I could still attack the crystal on the altar... so I blasted that for a good half hour (no joke) to destroy it. That made M respawn to do the fight finale.

So, was that a glitch?

Up by it's head? Trying to put the eyes in? If so, then yeah that's a bug.

Honestly can't remember, I think I tried to interact with it from the raised platform behind it. So might've just not done it properly. Noted for next time.

Took me a moment to spot it at first too but..

You have to run around his right side, there's a tiny little ramp up to bring you level with his head.

Um... Why is the Wall still up for my alt?
It's on the same account as my Main who brought it down.

Edit: Never mind... it only looks like it is.. I could just run through the gold bit. The wall must still be there until I do the Group Fortress with this character.

I did the fortress with a character that has not done any story quests in Solstice and the wall is still up for her. It’s sort of confusing, she completed the Support the Fellowship quest by doing the fortress.

It takes two quests to bring the wall. Support the Fellowship (Event) and Crossing the Wall (main story).

Support the Fellowship removes the primary and most important power source but there's more powering the wall than just that.

It’s a bug, yes. I had the same bug. The correct behavior of the fight is: Mannimarco disappears from the center of the fight and reappears next to the crystal. You know it’s bugged when he disappears from the fight and does NOT reappear next to the crystal.

When he doesn’t reappear next to the crystal, you basically get stuck in an infinite “combat” state, unable to interact with the statue at all. It has happened to me 3 times (I usually do everything during these boss fights, including letting my character die, to work on fixing the text strings for my translation addon. I noticed the bug is more likely to happen if you die, but it’s not required for it to occur. The only way to fix it is by resetting the instance).
