Tears of Itlaocol
Is this bugged on all servers? On SoR it’s stuck with only the first pattern showing and one torch lit. Tried to do the second pattern from a youtube video but it didn’t light the next torch or change the display.
If there’s a server with it working, let me know!
This happened to us yesterday. The way we worked past it was using the other possible patterns and it finally worked.
Use this link to see what other patterns it could be. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tears_of_Itlaocol
I want to say it was pattern 7 or 8 that finally worked but not positive.

You could always do it the way it was intended and look at the statue that has the tears bellow it….

That would be great if it didn’t bug. But it can bug and display the wrong pattern. When that happens you have to work through all the others till you find the correct one.

this has been bugged since october 2012….if it hasn’t been fixed in 8 months, then it won’t be fixed. period.
solution? use a youtube guide and copy what u see
its sad that after so much patches they still didnt fix this
Was discussed in another thread too
It’s like they didn’t even know it was bugged.
Clearly, the devs don’t even know their own game. Not really surprised, though…
Man, it’s not working on Gandara.
I even guested Fissure of Woe, the torches lit up, but still the door won’t budge.
What gives?
Try all the patterns as listed on the wiki.
The bug is that the pattern shown on the face is actually not the one you are supposed to make.
It should be a piece of cake to fix but I guess they’re too busy coming up with new RNG chests or something.
I had the same problem a couple of days ago, and I was lucky enough not to have the puzzle bug out on me the first time I did it. Having never done this puzzle before I had no idea of the potential bugs, until an hour or so later I was helping out some randoms and came across the same problem. Two torches were lit already, and the left pattern to light the 3rd torch was showing up with 9 highlighted dots. After much contemplating amongst ourselves as to what to do (leave it till it got fixed or continue) I took a guess and tried removing all tears and doing one of the patterns I’d tried earlier. To our surprise it worked. We finished off with the last puzzle and inside to get the chest (and the Aetherblades).
So now I know that the patterns on offer are never all tears on the nine stones despite what the game presents us with. The wiki is there to help even though I lucked out on it.

Are you sure it’s bugged? I’ve been able to complete this 10 times now and have not once had an issue, I’ve done this on TC, SoR, and SoS.

It’s most certainly bugged. I just opened it on Fort Aspenwood and the lights were definitely not showing the patterns I was supposed to make with the tears. I ended up just guessing random patterns until all four torches finally lit up. Very frustrating.

Because it worked for you doesn’t mean it works for others.
I’ve tried it on 3 different servers and every single time it was bugged.
I ran into this bug when doing the jump puzzle originally, and believe I found the issue (sorry did not update the wiki).
This is a “downed state” bug with pressure plates
For those who run FotM, you are familiar with this bug because this happens in the control panel room of the dredge fractal. If a player dies on a button it stays pressed, but if another player steps on that button it will no longer be pushed down.
Randomly trying patterns only works sometimes because most of the time you don’t fix the issue with the troubled switch.
The fix
Remove all stones, physically step on each plate to reset it, then drop the stones again. Don’t rely on leaving a stone from last glyph. To avoid the bug in the first place, don’t step on switches that you don’t need to modify.
It’s been a while since I’ve done this, so please let me know if something here needs clarified. Hope this helps someone.
