The Awakening Darkness - Nathari disappears mid battle/Red Eagle's Flight bugged

Received the message Joining Encounter in Progress at the start of the battle, while alone and not in a group. While fighting Nathari, at the point she uses a portal to slip away and Arana tries to contain the darkness, she never reappears but her damaging aoe follows me endlessly. There are two copies of Arana: one at the portal, another granting protection but no Nathari. Her health is stuck at halfway. Unable to exit the arena, choosing reset to wayshrine simply restarts an unwinnable battle. A force quit and restart stuck me at the beginning of the barrow so I had to refight all enemies to reach her only to have the problem repeat. I've lost soul gems, and quite frankly, patience. Not to mention the achievement Red Eagle's Flight is also bugged. Jumped three times and got nothing. Both this quest and the achievement were obtained by another character without issue only yesterday, so I am familiar with the mechanics of both.

    I had the same issue. But I jumped into the black void and died and chose to revive at waypoint. And it reset and she didn't disappear that time. I don't know if this helps. Hopefully it's fixed for you soon.

    @Displaced_Salad - I also unable to kill Nathari. Once I got her down to below 50k I was followed around by her aoe as well and being returned to battle area when I left it. At this point I went ahead and let the aoe kill me. I then did a bit of Googling and found this page. YEA!

    @jtmulin - I jumped into the black void and died and chose to revive at waypoint. Now when I started the battle I was able to finish her off without any problem. B)

    Thought they fixed this in the first emergency patch, but it's back.

    Had to take the plunge twice, but the third time worked properly.

    Well, it's been awhile (insert Staind song here) but I did want to say that dying and reviving did me no good at the time. I ended up just waiting a couple of weeks before trying again and it went fine and went fine with a subsequent character. Sorry to see that the problem keeps popping up.

    Got the Awakening Darkness quest bug today too, on the "Stop the Ritual" step. I got Nathari down to about 20% before she turned into the moving circle AOE - then the fight got stuck there - no change. Died to the circle (didn't want to keep running around), started fight again, and it worked properly this time, i.e. other boss mechanics appeared and she summoned a bone colossus etc.

    The same bug is still going strong in May 2021. Are there any fixes planned?
    Dying repeatedly on purpose just to be able to finish the quest takes all of the fun out of it.

    I got the same bug and it's almost November , 2021. I appreciate the advice here, though. The "joining encounter" function kept me in combat even if I tried to leave and hadn't initially noticed a place to jump down and die.

    Had the same thing happen. She just was gone... Died a couple times in the void, then transported out to a wayshrine, then battled back through to the same spot. This time, she didn't disappear. The difference was, the second time, I pushed 'X' when Arana told me to go into the void. Don't know what that was about, but it worked. :/

    I had this happen to me today. I had to repeatedly interrupt her for it to not but out on me. GL

    Same just happened to me! But jumping into the void and choosing to revive at Waypoint as described here worked.
