Guild Wars 2

Good morning,

since yesterday, I try to complete the last chapter of the season 2 story, but I’m stucked at the begining of the mission “The mystery Cave”. In fact, I can’t interact with the mysterious wall. I’ve seen some videos of what it does normaly, and I have nothing of that.
Do you know

Thank you,

Gradiand

I made a post in the Living World section, as I wasn’t sure if it was a bug or not, but now I’m sure it is. Post can be found here if interested: link.

I’ll do my best to describe what’s happening.

First off, I completed the tendrils phase. Smooth run, got downed a couple times. Got to lighting the ring for the first time, wend smooth after I figured out what to do. Then I get to the part where Kasmeer starts porting the rest of the group in to the ring of vines to help me fight, and that’s where I’m stuck now.

Malformed Shadows keep spawning endlessly, and the Dragon has the Determined buff at all times. I’ve killed maybe 100 shadows thus far trying to trigger something, and even tried whacking the dragon uselessly, and nothing has happened. I already sent a but report through the game, and wanted to post it here to see if anybody knows what the heck I’m supposed to do.

The NPCs just run around killing the shadows, and there’s no Divine Fire drops anymore. There are no more prompts to light the Ring either, and there are no graphics for the Ring. Screenie down below.

Help!

UPDATE 1: Getting killed and taking the shortcut mote didn’t change or fix anything. I’m hesitant to re-log and have to do this all over again, but if nobody replies with an answer I may have to. But the thing is, what if it bugs out again?

UPDATE 2: I’m going to log out and log back in to attempt to recreate this bug as best I can to figure out what’s going on.

UPDATE 3: Video will be posted sometime later tonight after it uploads. If a bug fix staff member could please respond to this thread/my ticket I would much appreciate it.

UPDATE 4: Video couldn’t upload properly, will try again tonight. Will attempt the instance again to see if I can re-create the bug.

UPDATE 5: The instance fixed itself and I was able to complete it a few days ago. I did nothing different during, and nothing had changed save for a new skin applied to my greatsword and armor. Odd…

I am also having issues with The Mystery Cave. I’ve completed it multiple times before on other characters, but, when I attempted to run it this morning; I progress just fine, normally, through the portal, down the dark passage, and through the memory seed replay. Once the Shadow of the Dragon spawns, the sequence of events in the fight is absolutely normal, until the ring of fire is lite and the dragon’s head surfaces and is SUPPOSED to take damage. I have tried to damage it both with the Divine Fire buff, and without. I can apply vulnerability to it, and target it, but it takes 0 damage. I tried re-logging, I tried letting the first DPS phase time out, light another fire ring, and trying to damage him again, to no avail. I’ve also submitted an in-game bug report on the issue, but thought I’d research here for any related issues.

Oh… boy. Sometimes I wonder how things like hit box gets messed up. I am not a software/game engineer, but I cannot see, if nothing changed, how can a hitbox/take 0 damage buff break? Does coding have similar effects to a solid object that can get oxidized, broken, or worn out?

I assume you guys obviously tried ranged weapons at different locations as well as aoe type skills?

I am glad that I have finished this, but I feel the pain of people who couldn’t.

It’s not an issue of hitbox. It’s an issue of the last Divine Fire lighting not triggering after Kasmeer and the others teleport in through her portal. I have a small, short video of what exactly goes on in this particular bug, but as my internet is quite slow right now it will take a bit to upload. Will post once it’s done.

Again, it’s not an issue of hitbox. The last thing to kill him didn’t trigger.

Any red posts want to jump in on this? If any more information is required I’d be happy to provide it.

Hello there,

I was doing Living Story, EP8, “The Mystery Cave” mission, as a revenant, right after the patch as i restarted to update…

It is impossible to interact with the Wall with the Divine Torch, i already tried everything, different positions, dropping torch and getting it back, double clicking the wall instead of clicking F…. Restarting the Game… Nothing works.

I have done this several times before and this is 100% broken, please fix this.

I don’t know if this is a known bug or is it something new, but when doing my personal story I encountered a problem when trying to complete “Mistery Cave” mission, aka the last mission before HoT release. When trying to enter the cave I can’t seem to interact with the door to begin channeling divine fire. There is a tooltip that says “Press F to interact” but when I press it nothing happens. Anyone encountered this?

Have reported it here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Game-Breaking-Last-Patch-EP-8-of-LS-is-RIP/first#post6030306

They broke the Living Story as well. =/
I hope ANet doesn’t ignore this, otherwise…. no more LS to anybody.

I am experiencing this issue too.

Similar thing happened to Meeting the Asura. Can’t interact to knock out the first guard, blocking progression.

I’m currently experiencing the same issue.

Yeah, I’m experiencing this problem too. It happened to me right after the update today.

I’m having an interesting problem with the Mystery Cave. I get to the part where you need to use the torch to light the seals or something except it will not do anything. It prompts me to hit the “F” key but nothing happens.

The exact same thing is happening to me. Please help.

Indeed, waiting for ANet to recognize this problem at once, the LS can’t be finished by any player since last patch.

MrWubzy.3587:

Any red posts want to jump in on this? If any more information is required I’d be happy to provide it.

It’s not even needed, it’s happening to all players, on more than 1 step of the LS where you need to do something similar to the Mysterious Wall.

But it seems the last patch broke so much that they aren’t paying attention to this.

I’m just angry, i was doing this story when the last patch arrived and i restarted the game to download it… —’

I’ll +1 this. Stuck at Mystery Cave door. Tried the instance multiple times to no avail.

Just here to add my +1.

I also experienced this following the March 8th patch. I did this part of story about two weeks ago on a different character and it worked fine.

I tested it in a group as well as solo, and it fails each time. Submitted two in-game bug reports (one solo, one later in a group). Definitely is reproducible.

+1

Tried it solo and also in a group later, filed bug reports.

+1
Tried grp & solo to no avail, even had some1 join us that had already completed it before and still nothing.

+1
Solo , unable to interact with tooltip

same here can’t interact +1

Same thing happens to me. It happened also in Seed Of truth episode when we play as caith i cant interact with guard to take down

Can confirm as well, new patch haven’t fixed LS.

Same. I can’t interact with the mysterious wall with the torch. Stuck!

The beginning of the mystery cave is bugged. Unable to gain entrance to the cave with the Divine torch. I have tried clicking with my mouse and I have even tried using the F-key. No luck either way, hell I have even logged out and even back in to the game.

Same here cant open the door.

I just got the same problem as well.

Adding a +1 on having this problem.

This bug is preventing people from completing “point of no return”.

Following video makes no difference.

Unable to light cave.

same problem here, I thought it was only my problem, but seems a bug since the last patch

+1
Would love to be able to play the mission since you need to be able to get the achievements

+1
Yep, impossible to open the door and cannot even get into the fight! Please patch this asap

Same here.

same here, waiting for a patch or a solution

I skipped ahead since I’m tired of waiting for the “Meeting the Arsura” fix from Seeds of Truth. So I moved on to Point of No Return. All went well until I reached the Mystery Cave and once again I can’t interact and the story won’t go on. The torch won’t interact with the door and there’s just an endless slew of Mordrem.

I’ve tried both the “F” key and the interact icon, but nothing happens. I’ve signed in and out, and it’s frustrating not being able to complete the chapters that had to be purchased. Please look into this.

I’m having the same problem. (sigh)

Same problem on both meeting the asura and the mystery cave, this is blocking progress on achievements and blocking other players from progressing their story that has to be purchased with gems

Yeah… Point of no return, Fail

Glad im not the only one, this is frustrating.

Same here, unable to progress any further.

I can confirm it’s not working for me or any of my friends that tried with me.

Not working for me also…. just tried it…
mystery cave( cannot enter the cave) and seeds of truth (cannot knock the guards down)
shocking to be honest… why this shouldnt work has nothing to do with HOT….
i cannot complete my story now…. and think you should reward people with these trinkets for FREE as this is wasted content ……

this, this, this, i really want to play gw2 but all this living story bugs are putting me off so bad

I’m experiencing the same issue. The interact dialog pops up when you near the wall but hitting the F key only starts the fight. There is no channeling animation, the extra interaction points do not appear and the story does not progress. The mordrem wolf begins it attack and can be fought off but no further interaction is possible. Normally after a second interaction Marjory shouts, “Protect the boss!” then the third channeling to the door starts a cutscene ending the fight.

Please address this issue.

same issue here; unable to interact with the wall. two other friends tried to host it and had the same problem.

Same thing here. Interact (F) does nothing. I can only attack Mordrem Wolves with the torch but not open the cave door. Please fix soon.

Still bugged.

So annoying! I want the achievements!

I put a bug report in – make sure you guys are doing the same.
