Hey there @Vylas,

We're glad to hear that you were able to progress despite the oddities that you experienced. Your patience and persistence are much appreciated!

If anyone else experiences this issue, please let us know in this thread and we'll be happy to take a further look into it.

I experienced the exact same situation. The only difference is that after I logged off and the instance was reset (and I teleported outside), I didn't go back for a second try. There is definitely a problem there. Should I wait for a fix or try again?

Thanks for the prompt answer @ZOS_GaryA‌ .
In my case since I was unable to clear out all the Ghost soldiers without dying, I tried a kitting approach to succeed, taking advantage of the deep water around the place of the battle.
I will give it another shot tonight and write back.
PS: I was VR10 at the time of the first effort. I am VR12 now

Hello again @ZOS_GaryA‌
I re-tried the quest like I said and this time the following happened.

I didn't kite the mobs this time. Instead I held my ground on the round pavement where the battle takes place.

I cleared the first round of mobs and Septime came down from the Pilar and the battle continued but she killed me. I resurrected with a crystal (E) on the spot and started the fight again with the now re-set septima. I clear the first round of ghost mobs again but this time Septime does not come down even though I held my ground again!

I force quit and reset the instance.

After that I fought Septima and the mobs by holding my ground again and when I was dying (died twice) I used the shrine (R) to resurrect instead of a crystal and ran back to the fight which this time completed normally.

I do not know if it was the reset or the fact that I was using the shrine instead of a crystal to resurrect but it worked. Clearly though the quest could use some polishing because neither kitting or resurrecting via crystals should be an issue, right?

Hope this helps, cheers

I have the same issue playing a lvl 41 NB. I kill all the mobs tried both kiting and DW result the same. Septima on a piller. I can target her butno damage to her. The only way to break this was to quit. I went back and still the same.

Don´t work either. Doesn´t make a difference to kill the ghost-army in the center, shrine etc.

Can´t go on with the game, because it is the end of the main quest Cadwells Silver.

I had the same issue.

VR6 NB

First try:
opened by sniping her from behind a few times, which got her health down enough that she jumped on the first pillar and stayed there.
I filed a bug report and had to force-quit the game to be able to continue.

Second and third tries:
Tried a different opening, she jumped on the pillars and spawned the adds. I take out all adds but 4-5 and die. She resets, but the adds remain. I revive and kill the remaining adds and work on her again. When her health goes down, she jumps back on pillar and doesn't spawn adds.

Give up for the time being. Get an e-mail back from CS with some advice (don't hit her too hard at first, kill remaining adds inside the pillar area) and go back to it a few days later with two friends, making sure we killed the final adds inside the pillar area and it worked.

@ZOS_GaryA‌

Me too, and 3 /bug reported.

VR9 NB

I kill her to 65% then she jumps to the pillar and spawns adds. I AOE dual wield down all the adds in the square (no kiting) and she still refuses to come down.

Tried reloadui, relogging, killing myself by jumping off the cliff multiple times but no luck. Will wait till tomorrow to see if an instance reset works.

Edit:

So, is everyone reporting this issue a NB?

I had this problem and reported it,too. NB (v6/v7)

All what here is written happened to me. One time she stopped doing anything after she trapped in "Manifestation of Terror". She just stand there, doesn`t move/react/take damage.

Yesterday i can beat her, i don`t used to attack her from stealth (Cloak, Ambush), and switched some skills. Maybe this problem appears with stealth-attacks or some skills.

Hey there everyone,

Thanks so much for providing all of the additional information in this thread, it's a huge help. This bug will be fixed in a future patch, though we don't have an ETA on when the fix will hit the live server. Thanks for your patience with this issue!

Hey there everyone,

A fix for the issue where Septima Tharn became stuck on top of the pillar went into today's patch. Please give a try to the quest again and let us know if you can complete it. Thanks for your patience!

Yay! Thank you so much! It worked this time around. All good from my point of view.

Hey there @starkerealm,

If you leave the area for 10 minutes, the area will reset. Give a shot to the quest after that and let us know if you're able to complete it!

@starkerealm, the victory must have been so satisfying though! Grats on sticking it out and taking her down. The Covenant is proud. o7

EDIT:

@starkerealm Waxing a mammoth would take a lot of work. They have tons of fur.

Ba-dum-pshhhh

Joking aside, we'd love to hear your feedback on how to make the fight more satisfying! If you type /feedback in the chat box, you can provide your thoughts on how we can make Septima's fight more exciting. Our devs read each and every feedback ticket and we'd love to hear your thoughts.

And your initial allegiance remains a secret, so Emeric is still beyond grateful!
