Guild Wars 2

the path was bugged or it was a 1 time like rare bug

Usually it happens when you forget to take the chicken in the cage during the run between Lupi and the altar. Someone has to stop to trigger the cutscene. The instance goes on as intended then.

Happened to me last week, and I admit the party members scratched their heads for quite a while when the ritual of the chicken didn’t start.

Hope it helps.

If you have this problem, use the wp back to where the spiders used to ambush players on their chased return path then run back to the altar. Stop before the exit where couple risens patrolling ahead of the huts. The chicken cut-scene will start there.

Afaik, the wp you are talking about only appears AFTER you trigger the chicken event and you get that cutscene.

In any case, when you run from lupi to the end boss, you will see a quest marker on your map, at around half way there. When you reach it, slow down a bit or even stop for 1-2 sec so that the npc can reach that point. You will get a cutscene and a wp there. After that just move along to the end boss.

My bad. I did check the cut scene location yesterday. The wp is indeed only happened after the cutscene. And quest market is at the huts before the opening to the last undeads, giants area with the spiders on your tail. So you do have to back track to Lupi wp and run back.

Yesterday, the npc was killed at the start of the cut scene by the spiders nonetheless. I hit the skip button during the cut scene then continuing running. When we noticed the wraith wasn’t appeared, we went back to check and find out the npc was dead.
It rarely happens but it does happen.

This just happen to us, we had one person that watched the cinema. But no WP appeared and the npc still wanted the chicken to be put in the cage. I tried running back to the npc from Lupi’s WP and it didn’t work. Tried luring enemies into the npc but they deemed her non hostile and ignored her.

What Worked
The person that watched the cinema ran back to the cage from Lupi’s WP. The spiders then killed the npc (no longer non hostile?). We ressed the npc and she walked over to the cage, started her dialog and was carrying the chicken. We were able to continue the dungeon afterwards.

Whoa, I thought Nikaido and SkyChef were back for a second…

A lot of people don’t understand what exactly causes this bug to happen so I’ll explain it below.

After the cutscene, the NPC does an animation and takes the chicken from the cage, which will trigger the Passage Waypoint to appear and the final part of the path marker to appear where the ritual will take place.

If you run past the spiders and aggro them along with being hit or causing the NPC to get hit, she will shoot back at them briefly before actually reaching the cage. If you manage to get too far ahead of the spiders so that they lose sight of you then they’ll turn around and finish off the NPC instead of just leashing back to their original location. She’ll be killed before she gets the chance to actually take the chicken out of the cage, resulting in the step getting interrupted and stuck.

When you revive her, she’ll stand still and do nothing. The way to fix the issue is quite simple— aggro the spiders again, pull them over to where she is, and attack them/get attacked by them while standing near her. She’ll no longer be stuck as it’ll trigger her to attack back and once this happens, the waypoint will appear shortly after because she’ll grab the chicken as you run past.

It’s as simple as that— no need to restart the instance from scratch!

If you wish to avoid this problem from happening in the future there’s a pretty simple solution:
Use stealth. If you don’t aggro those spiders at all, she will absolutely never bug at the chicken cage ever.

Great post, thank you Miku
