The Final Assault - Bugs

WilliamTee

Both reporting, and querying whether others have experienced and/or know of fixes.

**SPOILERS**
The Final Assault attempt #1:

Reach all the way to the planar vortex, 2nd dark anchor's adds despawn as i approach and won't respawn... after going in and out of zone and logging a few times figure i have to abandon the quest. ~Hour lost. Couldn't find this bug elsewhere, nor a fix. Anyone else experienced it?

Attempt #2: No one else around in the zone this time, so things are much slower. Reach the vortex guardian, die, figure: why waste soulstones? It's always respawned me at the most recent 'step' of the quest anyways... respawn ALL the way back at the citadel wayshrine, all progress lost, all adds inbetween respawned. yay.

Not 100% this is a bug, but why have intermediary wayshrines, if at the final step you lose all the progress? I understand this is heading towards the end of the storyline, but not since i had a sega megadrive have I had to worry that if I die at some point I might lose multiple hours of progress...

Attempt #3: Lets wait and see what this universal main story quest has in store next... I've read a number of other bugs exist in this quest too that i'm yet to have the joy of experiencing... never mind the fact that whichever companion you pick they tend to spend most of their time staring wistfully off into space while you die, and your 'team of friends' in the planar vortex just make you look like a wildly inconsistent multiboxer...

Please Lovely-Zeni-people... TES games are built upon the story. If you get ANY quests right, make it the central ones

Similar but reached the last Dark Anchor.
Died during fight.
NPCs killed remaining enemy.
Rezzed inside, ran back to fight, found one loot-able corpse.
Waited for... ???
Looked for... ???
Abandoned quest.
Restarted with no add-ons.
Reached last Dark Anchor.
Died during fight.
Invited NPCs to a picnic as we had nothing else to do.

EDIT: Found a work around but no guarantee it is repeatable for anyone else;

Do Not abandon the quest.
Teleport back to Hollow City.
Port back to the Endless Stairs(?) Wayshrine.
Run back to bugged area.
Doing this for me re-started Meridia and the companions.
End all battles alive.

Bug may be the dialogue at the last Dark Anchor. When I lived thru the battle the dialogue event started and was able to finish the chain.

Its not a bug lol

Wreaken

Yes, this one is a bug.

If you die, you can't get the mobs to respawn complete the objective for the anchors.

I done the same thing as noted above in regards too Teleporting back to Hollow city because I too died on the last anchor and the mobs despawned and I couldn't get them to respawn even after logging out and back in.

@‌JustSvin

I think i picked it back up again... from the gates of the citadel? Don't quote me on that though...

Well thank you zanimax for making this game as horrible as it is. Maybe i will try to come back in like half a year when you guys finally fixed your ***!

you appearently have to jump of the pillar aiming to left of target
i have seen people succeed this way,
but i can t see that thats supposed to be right

i personaly cant manage it after trying about 40 times, extremly frustrating

No you don't have to jump anywhere on library. I watched youtube video where this guy did that part just near lower firepilar so it's a bug indeed and now im stuck in there. I'm sure they did not wanted us to do suicide jumps 40 times naked over there.

Larze26eb17_ESO

its mean to be this way, its mean to be hard try and enough and you will make it in the end or just quit and find a other game ^^

freddy_hgnrb18_ESO

Don't be bloody stupid Larze, there is no way the game is intended for a player to have to jump to their death to try and hit something on an obscure angle while moving.

This is still broken. sigh... I'll try your suggestion.

waylander48

this was a rant.

I was doing it wrong

Frawr

20 months later, this bug still exists.

I have now the same problem after a crash mid-fight in the endless stair.
