Guild Wars 2

I was going through the storyline for Living World 3, “Out of Shadows”. I am mid-point in “A Shadow’s Deeds” section. The storyline has stopped progressing. I completed the first step (Talk to Bennett), and the description of my next step (Journey to Shadow’s Maw) pops up on my screen. But I can’t get the (Journey to Shadow’s Maw) instance to begin. I’ve tried logging out and back into the game. I’ve “quit” the episode, then started a different episode (A Crack in the Ice), then re-started “Out of the Shadows” episode. Nothing helps. I’ve submitted a bug report to GW2 Support, but I was wondering if anyone has any other advice.

Did you travel up to the room (arena) above? That’s where the instance is, I believe.

Or, maybe that’s a different part; it’s been so long.

Good luck.

Do you have Counter Magic? It’s required to start the instance. The instance start location should pop up when you fall to the ground level of the crater. Some steps can be interrupted by leaving, like changing maps, so try talking to Bennett again.
