3 times I fight mordremoth and I can’t fly up in the last phase , not deploy by jumping (like the other phases) nor press F on the stream.
Friend has no dps and I get teleported up top (queue ANet /laugh) to watch and able to do absolutely nothing.. wow what amazing design, did you take that straight from Blizzard themselves just like Brewfest? It’s a kitten personal story for crying out loud, not a raid.
First I had to grind a bunch of events in your terribly designed maps just to see the story cuz of masteries, now I can’t even finish the final fight. He’s not even hard, at all. It’s just I cannot avoid the aoe at the end. I don’t know if it’s cuz 2 allies cannot use the same stream or what? But we stick together cuz you know.. that’s what allies do.
What an epic battle. HoT is failure , the new maps are annoying & confusing, I brought a friend to HoT also and he cannot even complete his flight mastery so he quit the first day lol… fix your bugs they should be a priority.
There isn’t a bug with the updraft, not to my knowledge. I beat the fight after three attempts. Sometimes I think the hitbox is to small, sometimes I think I missed it.

Wow, so says the “PvE specialist”. Go dig around there are quite a few lengthy threads on the various bugs in the personal story Mordy fight. Gliders not opening, mordy bugging out. Some of us have had 4 consecutive trys that have bugged or had issues with their gliders not opening properly. the server side glider problem was even explained by a dev either here, reddit or on one of the twitch videos. That fight is a buggy mess, exacerbated by the “penalty box” I don’t even bother trying to do it anymore, just get to the end of the story and leave my toons at that stage. I doubt Anet will ever fix it.
Mmmm beat it solo on th 1st try on my 1st character to finish the story. Afterward finished again on the first try on a different toon, helped a friend with it.. may be just practice ? Or may be your connection is lagging? Also if you dont want the penalty box – do the fight solo, like intended. It’s there so you can’t keep rezzing and have to beat the boss in one go, which make sense you are fighting an eD afterall.. Wouldn’t want another Zhaitan
I don’t know why for some it works without problems and for others it seems bugged. I remember that on quiet a few attempts the updrafts were simiply not visible and couldn’t be used. It felt like a awefull gamble, always hoping that in the next phase you’d be able to access the updrafts. I’m sure practise helps, but I’m also very sure that it is at least partly bugged.
The final instance can easily be done solo with any class. The only exception is if you run into any of the bugs that make it harder, or impossible, to do. In some cases, not even having a full group would help.
I’ve done it several times and can confirm the updrafts seem to always be an issue.. Not once in all the times I’ve done it have they worked the first time I jump or press f to launch myself into the air..
Should have known this was going to be a bad run when the first couple of mobs I ran into were invisible. Skip to 28:50 to see a perfect example of what everyone is saying about the updrafts.
also don’t watch if you don’t want to be spoiled as I do eventually finish it..

OK, so how do I select the “bugged story instance” vs the “no bug story instance”? I have been playing since a month after release, I didn’t realize you could choose bugged or not bugged. Do I dodge at the same time has entering the instance? I am such a dummy. Those 5 bugged attempts… a couple hours of completely wasted time… if I had only known…
And yes you can solo the final story instance. that is if you want spend at least an hour doing basically the same things over and over and over and over and over and over and over… First suck your bad friends into the void using the same mechanic, then do the same thing again with mordy and all his aoe condies, then hope your glider opens and continue to do the same thing until you drain the massive HP sponge that looks kinda like a small Godzilla aka Mordy the HP sponge. I did that instance solo ONCE. Never again, I wouldn’t wish that overly long very tedious repetitive garbage on ANYONE.

It takes me about 30 minutes to solo the instance. I’ve done the story instance at least 15 times and only ran into bugs for 3 of them with one time being impossible to proceed. It’s random as to whether it will bug or not which is probably why it has taken so long for Anet to find a fix.

I am 100% positive that the last phase is bugged for some, maybe not all, but definitely for me.
I can updraft no problem until the last phase, it literally does not work.
If ANet had a player test realm, you know, like every other MMO on the planet, these things wouldn’t happen so often.
Game breaking bugs happen so much in this game it’s tiresome. Do I even need to mention the immobilize glitch where you can’t move for no reason or the mid air immobilize bug? Been in game since launch, so I fired up my FFXIV acc today and added the new xpc, ANet can screw off until they learn to polish what they already have before adding new content cuz I don’t expect this to be fixed for years.
We ran into pretty much the same exact bug that you are describing, OP. As far as I could tell, it’s just luck of the draw, but frustratingly you have to spend a lot of time and get pretty far in to the battle before you even learn if you’re going to be bugged out and unable to finish it.
For us, 4th try was the charm, but we basically walked away for a week because we were frustrated with it, then came back to give it a shot again and happened to get lucky and get through. Until they actually fix the bugs (who knows when that will be), I would suggest this—don’t keep trying to do it over and over back to back. It just gets too frustrating. Come back on a different day and try your luck again.

Actually, what it does more likely is simply make many people abandon it, we’re clearly not all as ‘leet’ as you, in this thread and many others.
If someone feels the need to create a thread on the forums and call HoT a “failure” because the maps are “annoying” and “confusing” (lol next time Anet should release a 2d super-mario map just for you), and because he dies 3 times to a boss, then he’s a scrub. Sorry noway else to put it.
If someone rage-quit the game day#1 because he could not get his flying mastery, then he’s a scrub.
Again, HoT maps are not another 4 vanilla-like GW2 maps. We had enough afk#1 content already.
If a content is annoying because it’s fully of bugs, which even bring difficulty to a full group as a solo content, then it’s totally right to call this content a failure before they fix it.

Since when did Elitsts start to defend bugs?
Since forever. Whenever someone complains about an issue, whether it be D/C, lag, bugging out making instances impossible, some people ALWAYS blame the player for something they did. It’s sad really, because it takes the pressure off of the developers to fix bugs.
The fight can bug out and anet refuse to even address it. I ended up getting through it by grouping up but even then the fight was a clusterkitten with some members dying due to bugs and the final portion of the fight having repeated bugged portions when his breakbar is down but he won’t take damage. Its ludicrous that it hasn’t even been addressed.

With the updraft I found it best if I ran into it and didn’t jump. The updraft will kick you off the ground and carry you into the air so deploy your glider as soon as you are off the ground.
Once you are up look for the next updraft to refresh your height, it’s important you don’t land before the area is safe.
And watch out for Mordremoth throwing rocks at you, a hit will knock you out of the air.
I helped many new guys killing it, in many times the teammate was killed and i soloed.
The trick is basically to understand the Boss does not do much damage and so do not need to panic with his attacks. if you feel dying too easily, change some skill to something more defensive, or even use Mango Pie.
in the fly phase, just fly, use updraft when needed.
Second flight is impossible for me too. Always bugs out. Every. Single. Time. These phases are far too long, far too buggy. They should be completely removed until Anet can fix it. Which, lets face it, means permenantly removed.

There are bugs in every game. The best thing you have to do is learn to work around them and not cry because you don’t have everything served on a silver plate.
To the point, it took me literally 2 deaths to figure out that the updrafts in the mord. fight do not work same way as open word updrafts. It’s not a bug just a different design. If OP (and everyone with the same mindset) did a couple more tries and didn’t create a whiny thread on the forum after 1 death, he would know too.
Also it’s pretty funny you mention “making instances impossible” when pretty much everyone has completed the final fight with several alts.
with engie it has been possible with traited elixier s (use one before 25% hp and get the traited when hit below) other classes i dont know without flying
its strange that it bugs out every single time for you but most have completed it, what class and build are you using?
There have been a large number of complaints about the bugs in the fight and anet has not addressed one single complaint. I only ended up doing it by getting in a group and even then we had players killed via bugs and only just managed to finish it with 2 alive.

One of the problems is that the fight takes so long with no resume options (only restart) people may not have the time to sit there and play for hours to eventually get it. Not to mention the fact that if you have to leave to repair you have to do the whole quest against with the other tedious fights.

I wasn’t talking about the complaints in the forum, I was wondering why your setup meant you got bugged out every time you played. I solo’d it on the second attempt on my zerk ele so its not a consistent bug, but was for you apparently.

During FFXIV maintenance I attempted to do this fight again, and this time it bugs out on the FIRST PHASE which don’t let me updraft and the shield is useless, when they yell either shield yourself or take flight, and they all stand in that dome? It literally does nothing lol I still take the aoe damage.
It’s been like over a month since I last played and it’s still bugged, even more so now, this happened on both attempts before I alt+f4’d
I feel like I should update this every month for pure comedic value

You are probably still doing it wrong. And you will always fail it every time you get back because you are doing it wrong. I’ve done the fight on 6 characters and never had a problem with gliding, you just walk in the updraft, no space, no F. Just run into it and bam you fly, it’s that simple.
-Start sarcasm- Guys, guys… Anet specifically designed this bug for the OP. Let him go back to challenging himself in a turn based RPG. -End Sarcasm-
Seriously though, thousands of people have been able to do this. How long are you going to blame the game?
Hey, remember that baby karka hunt in the revamped Lion’s Arch? And how some people were saying it was broken, but others said they were doing it with no problem?
Turns out that IF you were playing an Engineer, AND had a kit in your skill bar (not using, just in your skill bar), the karka hunting gun would disappear if you went underwater (which you had to in order to reach a couple of targets).
Just think about that for a minute. And then, read the patch notes going a ways back, and look at all the problems they patched that you never encountered even if you used the skill/trait in question. Some bugs simply pop up for reasons that are VERY hard to pin down, and often very obscure. 1000 successes doesn’t mean it’s flawless, it just means that nobody’s won the bad luck lotto yet.
It’s not fair to assume it’s OP’s fault just because others have had no problem with it. It’s entirely possible that they’re triggering a rare bug. Unlikely, yes, but possible.

well back to eorzia cya in 30 days xD
You’re probably gone….
But did you try doing a client repair? I had a personal story that was impossible to do because of a lack of an interact option. A client repair made the option appear the next time I tried it. If you haven’t done a repair, you might have corrupted data.
Be careful what you ask for

I just wanted to chime in and say that I recently ran this encounter for the first time and I had the same problem with the updrafts. Contrary to what you’re saying, walking into, standing in, or jumping through the updrafts did not work. I also saw no dialogue box to indicate that I could hit a key to interact as you find with nearly every other clickable object in the game.
What I discovered is that you do have to hit your interact keybind to activate the updrafts. Don’t ask me why your experience differs, but I attempted this fight 4 or 5 times and once I figured out that it had an interact I had no problems.
Just saying there’s something funny going on with the updrafts on the mordremoth fight. It can’t work both ways unless there’s some kind of bug, and if nothing else the updrafts should have the same dialogue box that shows for any other object you can interact with by keybind.
There have been many many complaints about this quest not just 1 or 2 isolated players. So, your sarcasm isn’t warranted.
Sorry, let me put this in perspective. Hundreds of thousands of players have completed this… But by all means the issue you are having over MONTHS must be an Anet issue. I’m sure all these other issues regarding “I can’t complete this mechanic therefore it is bugged” are soooooo true. It’s easier to complain rather than figure out where you’re going wrong. Thanks for your opinion though.
I personally had an issue with the updrafts. Then I discovered you needed to either hop from a slightly higher location or get a running start. Nearly caused me a death. Still 1-shot that underpowered boss though. What’s my point? If it’s not working, try something else. Gliders never open on even ground.
I’ve put off trying to complete that last mission again after getting to the updrafts twice and then not being able to get them to lift me. It’s a lot of work to get to that point and I’m not sure I want to keep trying something that isn’t working for lots of people.
Blame Abaddon, he loves your tears.

Add me, I can certainly help you. Im assuming the numbers are way up there seeing as the majority of players are pretty up there on the mastery points at this point in the expansion. Also, according to an IGN article GW2 hit 7 million accounts in august. I think my estimate is a very safe estimate. The point I’m trying to make is maybe this isn’t a bug. Maybe it’s an issue that can be solved by trying something else. I had issues with the updraft mechanic but I got past that.
Can anyone tell me what the definition of insanity is? Would it correlate with the OP necroing his own thread to state he’s doing the same exact thing with the same result? Seriously, add me and I will help you finish this mission.
Edit: From reviewing videos I notice people are instantly launched in the air. This was not what I did. I actually glided slightly off the ground into the updraft mechanic which then launched me. I didn’t know it was as simple as stepping into it to be honest.
You have to hit your interact keybind or jump off of a raised object and glide into them. Standing in them doesn’t appear to work.
You don’t have to stand in them. You have to WALK in them. No keys, no jumping, no dodging, nothing else. Just walk through the updraft and you fly.
So when that time comes for the updraft part just RUN in the updraft and you will be flown up quickly. I guess it works in a similar way to the jump platforms (like those at Shatterer for example) where if you touch them walking very slowly you won’t be launched.

I can’t rule out that your experience differed from my own, but I did this fight just the other day and it absolutely did not work at all by standing in, running, or jumping through the updrafts. The only way it worked was to either find a raised object to jump and glide from (there are a few points in the platform where you can do this) or activate via interact keybind (but the updraft does not display an interact dialogue to indicate that this is the case!).
I’m not sure why there seems to be so much variance with the updrafts, but I promise you I beat my head against the wall several times trying to run through, jump through, or stand in those updrafts and they never once activated. Once I figured out it was an interact they worked flawlessly on command by using the interact keybind.
The most annoying thing about this fight is that the mechanics are so weak this is the only way you can die! It’s like really? You had to throw this buggy, pointless gimmick in? I would have preferred a shorter, more challenging fight or at least more challenge with checkpoints. Either way would have worked.
Also, how do you walk vs. run? I seem to move at the same speed (aside from movement speed buffs like swiftness) all the time?

walk versus run: it’s in options. You can assign a key to toggle on/off walking and normal movement speed.

Alright big guy, you’re all talk. Let’s see some actual proof behind what you are claiming. This ongoing “bug” that has prevented the OP from completing this within the span of months.
I am a skeptic. Question everything. There is a fine line between unable to complete a mechanic and an actual glitch with the mechanic. Seems like the majority of the community does not have this issue. What is causing it for specific people? When I say specific I mean a tiny miniature portion of the community that is claiming “bug.”
If you’d like I can give you a tour of this “bug” and show you what you need to do to avoid this mechanic… Oh oops I mean “bug.”
Notice how this thread got so many hits prior to the necro. It must of been a huuuuge deal. In fact, take notice on how it’s not even posted in the right forums.

Besides this post there have been a lot of posts about it on this forum since HOT launched. I’ve personally experienced the bugs with my glider not opening, with mordy not taking damage near the end of the fight once you get rid of his break bar where you have to kill yourself to reset him and with Brahams shield not working.

Settle down, Francis.
The updrafts work by interact keybind or by gliding through them. Apparently, you were able to get them to work another way. Why does it seem plausible to you that others would fabricate this issue?
Let’s think about this. The fight is dead easy. You are clearly prompted when to use the updrafts if their sudden appearance on the platform weren’t enough of a signal. The updraft mechanics are very familiar at this point. And you claim that running (jumping?) through the updrafts is sufficient to activate them.
I guess my question is: How did we manage to mess up this complicated maneuver of simply running right into the updraft that’s right next you? If it works so well, those of us who can’t seem to activate the updrafts must be failing to see them. kitten my eyes! I just can’t tell if the updraft is right here or 10 paces to my left…and now I’m dead!
I don’t understand how you think that’s more plausible than taking another person at their word. Why would we make this up? Am I making excuses for my inability to run straight into an object in plain sight? Doesn’t that seem kind of…dumb?
Well, I “only” encountered two (and a half) problems with the gliding phases.
1) after the initial jump, there’s a small delay where you can’t open the glider. If you press space directly after jumping, it won’t work. I usually try to tap space 2-3 times to make sure. (That could lead to insta-undeploying the glider again, but it hasn’t happen to me during my 7 Mordremoth fights).
2) Mordremoth spawns this circular AoE that sucks you into the center (the only place where you don’t get damaged) – sometimes this AoE is bad timed and stays during the start of a gliding phase. This will suck you towards the ground even if you’re in the air at that moment when you’re flying above it…
3) I didn’t try it often, but Braham’s shield doesn’t seem to be very helpful. However, I’m not sure if this is a bug or not. It would be a bit strange if you could simply skip all gliding phases just by joining the NPCs.
PS: I saw a developer on reddit a few days ago, and he mentioned that he’ll look into some Heart and Mind story bugs. Maybe this will fix the most common problems.

(That could lead to insta-undeploying the glider again, but it hasn’t happen to me during my 7 Mordremoth fights).
2) Mordremoth spawns this circular AoE that sucks you into the center (the only place where you don’t get damaged) – sometimes this AoE is bad timed and stays during the start of a gliding phase. This will suck you towards the ground even if you’re in the air at that moment when you’re flying above it…
3) I didn’t try it often, but Braham’s shield doesn’t seem to be very helpful. However, I’m not sure if this is a bug or not. It would be a bit strange if you could simply skip all gliding phases just by joining the NPCs.
PS: I saw a developer on reddit a few days ago, and he mentioned that he’ll look into some Heart and Mind story bugs. Maybe this will fix the most common problems.
Hey there,
So one thing about the gliders I’ve noticed is while you are going vertically up your glider will not deploy. You have to wait till you are descending. I also noticed that in order to deploy your glider you must be at a distance that is vertically higher than jumping. I didn’t run into the problem you mentioned in #2 but if I recall correctly, while gliding I never went directly above modre. I didn’t bring Braham with me either so I can not answer that question unfortunately.
You have me confused with someone else. I have completed this fight. As I said originally, I merely chimed in to confirm the apparent bug others have experienced but you, apparently, have not. As evidence: You are only able to activate the updrafts by jumping off of another object and gliding through them. I was also able to reproduce this. However, I was also able to hit my interact keybind while standing in/near or running through the updrafts to activate them. This worked every single time I attempted it, without fail. However, I noticed that there was no interact icon to indicate that this was possible (I expect that’s why you went through the trouble of jumping and gliding rather than simply walking up to them and interacting).
So, to sum up: There appears to be some variance in how these updrafts function. Given that, it’s likely there is some sort of bug in play here. Your premise that I am whining because I can’t complete the fight is ridiculous because I have completed it, easily.
Assuming that everyone is able to activate these updrafts via the interact keybind as I was, all we really need is to place an interact icon on the updrafts as they do with virtually every other interactable object in the game. That would be my suggestion on this one, to avoid confusion and frustration in what should otherwise be an enjoyable, albeit rather easy boss.
