Guild Wars 2

We ran into the room with those steam vent controls, turned them off (was that wrong?) and… um…

Yeah we’ve been stuck there ever since. The gate will not open and there’s nothing to kill or do. Tried teleporting, tried leaping to our deaths, nothing has any effect.

Is this a known bug? Any way around it, or do we have to just start again?

Did you destroy the Faulty Gate after the Effigy? That leads to the next part.

Same issue shut off the vent.. gate doesn’t open

Did you destroy the Faulty Gate after the Effigy? That leads to the next part.

It was well past that, in the place where you disable three steam vents (or rather disable the vents with three levers). Normally (I’ve since restarted and completed it a few times) walking up to the railing to look down on that arena thing where you fight the bosses brings the NPCs there tailing whoever they’ve decided to follow, and their dialogue precedes the gate opening.

In that case they never said anything, on multiple approaches, and the gate didn’t open.
