Falkreath Hold Bug

Amerises · December 2022

Anyone know what triggers the reset bug?
Kind of funny ZoS makes a new BiS gear and it’s behind a long dungeon that you almost need a tank to complete on normal (and with so many fake tanks, it’s quicker to just queue for vet), but then the 3rd boss bugs about half the time, and when that happens, about 3/4ths the time the tank rage quits. And if the tank doesn’t, sometimes it takes 4 to 5 resets before randomly it works.

What triggers the bug?
Why hasn’t ZoS fixed this? It’s been happening since the dungeon came out.
Why are the chests in the most random spots?
Why did my dad leave us?

Anyone have any answers?

You damage it to fast so it resets. I'm not sure there really is anything that could be done.

The skeleton boss with his 4 adds at times resets in case you have a warden or necro with you. I think it might be pet related. Max times I did this boss with my group was 3 or 4 times after which he finally stayed around for us to kill him…

And is your question related to to the final boss, as you’re talking about reset (what is the first boss) and bugging around on 3rd boss?

First IMHO pets.
Third with calling all mechanics in parallel (adds, burning ring and pulling you in with dropping aoe fields on your head): don’t know as we had higher dps with us (80-100k group dmg with 1 tank, 1 healer and 2 dd in vet) and lower dps (50k with 1 newish dps) at other times. So too much damage is not triggering his confusion.

First boss seemingly always had issues. Third boss started for me some months ago. Maybe after high isle release.

Last I heard was, because he wanted to be engagement designer for Falkreath Hold. But that’s only rumours of course.

Filled that stickerbook solo. Never had it reset so I guess it's indeed a matter of too much dps.

It's caused by pets.

If you have a NB make sure they're not using shade as it will cause the resets.

Dpsing more slowly does stop the resets. I’m unsure if its because he dies too fast or if its because there’s too much damage while he’s invincible. I’ve tried removing pets before and it didn’t fix it. I believe I’ve also had this problem without pets but with the healer trying to do some dps.

I think I've seen that boss reset without pets as well. The first boss also has a weird thing that happens when you aggro and not all players are close, it disappears along with all the adds and then reappears in motion (so not in the original position). It kind of reminds me of the Lamia boss with the lamia adds after the bridge in Arx Corinium who also has a similar issue. But yes, dungeon is buggy and it has been reported many many times. I don't know why don't have a fix yet. Maybe @ZOS_Kevin can help?

Falkreath hold is a fast dungeon. I find it less buggy if you do it alone, honestly.

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

Thank you for your understanding.

Pets and necro corpses tend to reset that boss.
