Guild Wars 2

This story quest is broken for me. Whenever I get to the part where I have to fight the risen crew, I can kill all of them except the Veteran Risen Romke. Every so often he’ll become invulnerable, swim back to his original spot, and heal up before I can fight him again. He did this 6 times in a row. It’s very frustrating.

This is happening to me too. Has anyone found a solution?

Okay I beat it finally and I’ll share what I did in case it helps anyone else.

STEPS WHEN I FAILED/HIT BUG
1) Ran to the beach ahead of NPCs. They all died fighting their way to beach, but I triggered the next steps anyhow. I could hear them talking as if they were with me, but they were not.
2) After solo fighting the beach I entered the water. I took the map FIRST and then killed the whole crew.
3) On the last guy he would always regen.
4) I went back and rezzed NPC’s > fought our way to the beach > entered the water with Trahearne. Boss still regenerated.

STEPS WHEN I SUCCEEDED
1) I asked a guild member to help.
2) We fought to the beach WITH the NPCs.
3) Once we entered the water we took out the crew > the boss > got map last.

The ghosts do not enter the water, its part of the story so don’t worry about that. On the first run through when all the NPCs wiped…after I couldn’t beat the boss I went back to rez them and all the ghosts rezzed and then insta spawned at the final spawn. They would not leave it to come help fight after that.

Hope this helps anyone else that runs into this.

Pretty major bug that should be fixed asap, but I’m not holding out any hope given the track record for this game. For me, Romke simply will not stay and fight. Every time I get him to low health he returns to his spawn and regenerates. Got the map during the fight. The only way that I beat it was using guardian spear 5 which is a pull ability. He had regenerated a little but after doing this a couple times in a row I was able to wear it down.

I had the same issue with an underwater skill challenge- I only completed it when someone came to help. I would seem that some NPCs (more often than not underwater ones) had a time before they reset for some people. It is a bug but you could try getting someone else in to help you or (assuming) upgrade this weapon (my underwater weapon is always behind us).
