The Final Assault: Destroy the Remaining Dark Anchors

Moonchips · April 2014

Anybody else having trouble with this part? I'm at the dark anchor yet there is nothing there to "destroy"

The NPC will destroy them, you must kills the hostile NPCs for her to be able to do it.

Im on this same part and it seems that, like with every other part of this quest it seems, it's bugged. If you die to any of the anchor waves (The groups that spawn at the anchor) then you get stuck. When you come back, those groups wont respawn. I dont know if it's just me and the time of night I am trying to do this quest, or not ... but it's pretty f'ing frustrating. I already waited 4-5 hours for a GM to hand load the the statue room event with Gabrielle... now I get into the anchor part and a slip up that results in death blocks me from continuing?

I just completed this quest tonight with no problems. It's possible.

I think that's sort of obvious, given the number of people that have actually finished the main quest and advanced into veteran rank content. The issue here is the sheer bugginess of the main storyline quest.

There was a bug with the Groundskeeper that kept people from advancing past the Rescue quest for Dyar and Galerion.
there was a bug that halted progress on the chasm quest to close the reinforcement portals. I was lucky on that one and advanced to that part yesterday while one of the GMs was standing at the eastern portal resetting it for people so they could advance past that part.
Then came the bug in the statue room, which has apparently existed for days and actually still does - again, a GM had to manually restart the quest for people to advance.
Now this, where dying during the dark anchor destruction quest seems to prevent advancement.

I died two more times tonight trying to advance past that part of the quest (Thanks helpless NPC allies that let like 7 lvl 50 Daedra swarm me.) and each time the only way I could try again was to exit the main portal and log out/login in order to reset the quest. It seems that unless you breeze through it in one go, the quest is going to bug.

Haven't this same problem. I would think that the bugs that effect advancement onto veteran content would be prioritized more or less. Breezing through it doesn't seem to work either, I killed every mob without much trouble and it still bugs out.

Can we add that the one about lighting the braziers that saw lots of player characters running around in their underwear?

Oh, and thanks to whoever reset the statue room for me so I could run it this morning. If I can get passed the issue with the dark anchors in the next zone I am looking forward to seeing the final confrontation with Molag Bal. Lots of fun so far.

Added: Apparently exiting the portal and relogging doesn't always give a reset.
