Guild Wars 2

Has anyone successfully completed Sorrow’s Embrace path 2 in the past week or two? The last 2 attempts at this path Tarleov has gotten stuck shortly after clearing the main room of all dredge. He never walks to pick up his rock and the dungeon can’t progress. Has anyone found a fix or work around? We have tried waypointing to a different area, all but one person leaving the dungeon, a party wipe, and jumping over the gate to kill the Taskmaster.

Yes, it’s not as difficult as I remembered.

I’m not sure what causes this bug, but it’s been around forever. What has worked for me in pugs is:
-When clearing the 4 champs, make sure the last one you kill is close to the door you came in.
-After killing the champ, immediately run out past the gate. Use stealth if you have it.
-Begin clearing the mobs working your way into the room.

This should prevent the mobs from infinitely respawning and Tarleov will be able to walk to his rock.

I completed P2 5 times a couple weeks ago. Didn’t run into any issues.

- When clearing the 4 Champs, the last one we kill is always the one closest to the gate (it’s the Champ that spawns additional adds)
- After Tarleov becomes an ally, we follow him as he walks to the rock. Kill all mobs along the way. Note that some groups, once killed, spawn additional groups. They do not keep respawning infinitely.
a) First group is 4 Excavators near the chest in the center. When killed, no additional mobs spawn.
b) Second group is 4 mixed Dredge a bit past the chest. When killed, 4 more Excavators spawn.
c) Third group is 4 or 5 mixed Dredge near the rock Tarleov needs to get to. When killed, 4 more Excavators spawn.

After those groups are killed, no more mobs spawn and Tarleov should walk to his rock and mine it. (Note that, like all NPCs, they automatically leash back to where they were when they entered combat before resuming walking.)
