Guild Wars 2

I’ve had this quest bug out twice now. Both times I killed the Soverign Eye of Zhaitan and the quest tracker reflected it, but never got a cut scene or had the quest finish. The first time the eye bugged out and stayed in the area where he creates the AoE knockdown/electrical fields and stayed there where I killed him. The second attempt he died in the middle area where he starts.

Playing as a Mesmer.

this is bugged for me right now, i went through the cutscene but the ghost never came out im still just fighting the eye at 0% and immune to damage

(waited for immunity debuff to fall off [about 10 minutes] killed him and nothing happened)

Ojo, I had the same issue tonight when doing this quest with a friend. Personally, I found the boss monotonous, tedious and boring. 20 minutes to kill this guy. Only to have killed him, but the quest doesn’t trigger.

I filed a bug report in game with an attached screenshot. I hope they rectify this because right now all I want to do is complete the story quest and I can’t. And, there is NO way I’m going through that 20 minute fight again if there is a chance the quest is still bugged.

After dying once to the Sovereign Eye, I went back to the boss and found it invulnerable, which does not go off even after a period of time.

It happens quite often against him. First time I tried, I was killed, and all his attacks was still there when i came back. Don’t know if it’s intended, but it was nearly impossible to kill him with his illusions + his bubbles crippling things + him at the center at the same time.

Same here. I just defeated the hideous big eye after an annoying fight but /sigh… Sent a report.
I hope they fix with the next update.

When I was trying to get this done the eye became permanently immune to damage mid-battle about 6 times in a row. One time the Trahaerne NPC even got stuck in a wall and the thing bugged out yet again.

I only managed to get it done by being very careful about how I damaged it, which is something I shouldn’t have had to do.

Personal Story Quest: “The Source of Orr”

Everything went fine, I killed the Sovereign Eye of Zhaitan, there was a little cutscene and I guess it was then supposed to die or transform into some King person, but it didn’t.

The cutscene ended and the Sovereign Eye of Zhaitan is still there and is invulnerable.

Can’t do anything to progress the story. Trahaerne is just standing there shooting at it.

//edit

Now I walked back to some mobs that had apparently respawned and got myself killed. Atfer retrying from checkpoint, the Sovereign Eye of Zhaitan is now dead and I’m standing with Trahaerne in this big water pool in the middle. He doesn’t do anything though and the quest does not progress. O_o

Also I think Trahaerne is checking out my cleavage which is unnerving.

Same thing happened to my wife and I.

I just tried to do this story part, killed the eye but never got the cut scene and so cannot progress. Going to try again, but if you’ve tried it twice and got different outcomes, both bugged, I’m not holding much hope. I did report it as a bug in game but really, to have to wait again for this to be fixed now, after the Ships of the Line was bugged for weeks, is rather depressing.

Hey I got it done! What I did, I exited the instance then exited the game to the desktop and reloaded it, then tried the story again and it worked. You may want to try that as well, good luck.

When I killed the eye of zhaitan while it’s not at the center of the map (after it teleports from the center) before it could teleport back to its initial place, the cutscene will not play making the quest stuck there.

This mission is still more than broken.

I have encounter more than 4 different bug (that block progress) and then I am unable to finish it after 5 attempts.

The cut scene never start after the dead of the eye in my case. (+ sometime the door is locked, + sometime the boss in invul forever, + sometime the illusions stay there forever and shot you no matter where you are and where the boss are.)

The 6th attempts was the right, the cut scene finally appear. But this mission is still more than broken. ^^

This is just epic pathetic.
On my first try there where no cannons to shoot the ships.
On my second try they appeard but there are way to many enemys on deck and the opponents hit my even under deck or inside the rooms. I’ve died and died and died… Finaly i managed to destroy the ships just to die again during the cutscene (not the first time this happened. cutscenes need to be fixed as well). Then i got resurrected under water but the camera was still locked on my previous position on deck. I see myself swimming in the water but can’t complete the quest because i cant what’s going on around me. Screw that game! Give me back the friggin money for armor-repairs and teleports! Redioulous!

LOL and after i wrote this and tried to switch back into the game it just crashed. OMG! Please only release a game “when it’s done” next time! I’m just sick of it.

Oh and i almost forgot about the voices. Sometimes they are played, sometimes not.

So I just killed the Sovereign Eye in The Source of Orr mission, but nothing happens afterwards. This has happened twice in a row now — I’ve heard a cutscene is supposed to play, but both times nothing played. I’ve also heard he doesn’t teleport around after hitting 25% health, but he did for me and I killed him both times outside of the center circle area.

Anyone else have this problem?

It just happened to me.

I killed it ouside the circle as well. He was shooting those purple cannons with 2 other phantams and I killed him. He teleported to the center of the circle and died. And nothing happend

I re-ran the quest and killed him inside the circle and it worked.

I found that the music and voices just didn’t seem to work at the end. WIth the music and voices all over the place it seemed more like a badly dubbed manga film than a well constructed cut-scene. I could grasp what the dev was getting at, but sadly I missed the feeling he was looking for because sometimes there was silence, or voices and no music. Rather frustrating seing that I love the song 'Fear not this night' and this seems to be the only part of the game it plays?

Heh, maybe I will get to play the story again and see it working when I start an alt.

am I the only one whom enjoyed the no sound war after you kill the eye? I really found that quite cinematic and beautiful.

And yes, I loved the song and it frustrating beeing the only part of the game where it plays.

First time I’ve done this mission, same bug as everyone else. When he teleports to the side and starts to fire lasers with his invulnerable buddys, that’s it. He sits there until he dies and then nothing happens.

He never moves back to the middle for me. Ever.

When I “defeat” The sovereign Eye of Zaitan in this mission, it goes to a soundless cutscene where the eye monologues about it’s death, them I’m returned to the instance with an invulnerable Eye with one hitpoint that just.. never dies.

Anyone know a way to kick this mission into actually completing? Thanks!

I am now in the same situation. In my first attempt I actually defeated the eye. He had no health and my story logged was marked complete, but instead of a cut-scene, he simply disappeared. I ran back and forth the length of the area, killed the mobs the rear defenders were fighting, but nothing.

I logged out and had to do the whole thing over again. This time, I got the same silent cut-scene, then he was simply invulnerable, but of course the eye could damage me. I tried letting him kill me, but there he was again, totally invulnerable.

Traehearn was alive the entire time, so that’s not it.

Third time was a charm for me it turns out. The only thing I did differently was to kill the mobs at the very beginning first. Before I had left the guards to fight them and moved towards the well. Going back to kill them after fighting the eye didn’t work.

So this Sovereign Eye of Zhaitan is defeated, you get the cut-scene, and the freed prince of Orr should spawn, but nada happens. I’m standing in a shimmering pool and Trahearne looks his usual dumb self…

Anet – please fix this story step, your latest update notes about blocking bug in The Source of Orr is fixed is wrong, this is definitely a blocking issue.

After relogging and retrying story, I managed to complete it this time, so it’s an infrequent bug.

Hm – still bugged. Just finished this. I killed the eye, and it started a cut-scene, but then ended and no ghost to talk to. Both check marks updated, but nowhere to progress to.

Edit – Did the quest a second time and it updated.

Fix the source of Orr. After killing the eye, the story line does absolutely nothing. I know 90% of you will say, start over and try it again. Yup, that’s how I want to play a game, start over and over praying the bug will go away. Very disappointed with the game.

still broken. Just happened to me. Just me an trahearn chilling in a hot tub.

I just did it now… still broken. am going to camp in there dancing till i get kicked out. You would think by now that someone would have worked out a solution to the problem……..
meh…. what am i thinking?

So apparently killing the Sovereign Eye when he teleports to the entrance door, as in he dies upon arriving there, bugs out the quest and Trahearne won’t start the ritual.

I don’t really want to relogging in a retrying it but if it have to do that… sigh

I got the same issue… I got the Sovereign Eye down to about 1%, then the silent cut scene then came Invulnerable… I was going to check about the bug in the scene when I saw it was about about 0… but now, no event after that….

If I am going to do another character and this happen again… don’t know what happened

Go into graphics settings and set everything to either none or low (including post processing, best texture filtering, and etc). That fixed it for me since reza wasn’t being rendered and displayed properly in my game.

We should NOT have to do anything out of the ordinary just to complete a story line. Anet needs to make sure when they apply a fix to broken things, it gets done correctly and permanently instead of just a temporary fix that causes issues later.

There are so many bugs in the game that are not fixed, that it is ridiculous.

Bug still exists.

No comment..

Yes, still bugged. I endured two defeats and killed the Eye, and now have to pay repairs for a complete waste of time. This game is too often a source of frustration rather than fun.

The only anomaly was that Trahearne was down at the time I killed the Eye, but I got the checkmark for the kill. However, the story is stuck no matter what I do inside the instance.

Those stupid purple machine-gun laser bursts are almost more than I can stand to face in another try; I dodge most of them, but it makes the whole event a huge pain.

3 months and still no fix or reply from arenanet. It is still bugged and annoying as hell.

Argh, just hit this. Killed the eye while he was in retreat and sure enough: Nada.

Same thing here – defeated the eye and the quest doesn’t complete.. He was invulnerable for a long time and I waiting for the invuln buff to wear off but nothing..

I realize this thread is 2 years old. But I had this exact same problem occur 2 times today. The story is glitched/bugged with the new big patch that has occured this past week. Please fix “The Source of Orr”. Killing the eye triggers the cutscene. you can hear the ghost king talking, but you cannot see him. after the cutscene nothing occurs and nobody is in the chamber with you except for Trahearne.

Playing as a condition mesmer.

Hello,

Found this thread. Facing the same problems here. Tried doing it twice. The King doesn’t spawn after I killed the eye. Also there is no audio for the ending cutscene.

Still bugged. Killed Eye, got a cutscene with no audio, and then nothing happens.

Well, this is disappointing. I just got this bug twice in a row. Anet was alerted to this bug three years ago, and it’s still not fixed…

I had this issue too… What seems to work is to make sure Trahearne is with you the whole way, especially when you enter the room with the Eye past the Champion Guards.

Sorry I realize this thread is 3 years old but really it’s ridiculous it hasn’t been fixed. Just got this bug twice in a row where the guy doesn’t spawn after killing the eye

This bug just happened to me today as well. Wanted to check before attempting it again. Kinda disheartening to see I could go through it all again and still not completethe mission.

Just had the very same bug.
CC’ed the eye fast, and killed it. Maybe too fast? Dunno, but now I have ran around to see if I an trigger the cutscene or somehing, but nothing happens.

I do have progress in both lines “Go with Trahearne to the artesian well” and “Defeat the Sovereign Eye”.

Success.
I tried to do low dps, so the eye would do all it’s “normal things” and it worked. I think they key is to not over-dps it.
