Third time is a charm I guess.

I seem to have exactly the same problem
I realize this thread is a bit old, but I’ve had that problem today. It may not be this, but I believe that the glitch occurs when you don’t follow Efut right from the start. You may notice lack of cut-scenes, even though you can hear the dialogues. Just follow Efut from the moment you encounter the little rascall and I think that would do the trick.
Also, he won’t follow you right from the part when the bone wall is risen, so if he’s not following you right then, just leave the instance instead of going through with it.
Just had this problem, warmaster Efut is just standing there and nothing happens when i finish the mission…
this is still broken guys, Fyi broken game is still broken..!!!

I haven’t been able to reproduce the bug. If I ignore Efut and just run up to the keep, it stays closed (and the story won’t progress) until she gets there. If I run back to where she is, she’ll continue walking up to the central keep. Once she gets there, Almorra comes out and the “Escort Efut” step is crossed off as completed. I don’t see how it’s possible to “complete the mission” since it won’t progress until Efut reaches the keep and Almorra comes out.

I remember running into an issue(possibly the same one) in this step the second to last time I did this. Memory is a bit fuzzy but I remember running ahead of Efut a bit too much and I think she(:P) got killed. Had to restart instance afterwards but it wasn’t a blocker. I definitely would have tried ressing her so that obviously didn’t fix the issue.

I did it some time ago but the time warmaster got stuck for me too I remember ressing her and she wouldnt move after.
Just a heads up, this bug still exists, because it just happened to me.
it seems to happen if you attack risen on the road up to the keep before the bonewall appears
I confirm what Omap said, if you kill the risen before talking to effut, it will get glitched,
Heeey, just wanted to add to the others: this is not fixed STILL. I will go do as others have said and not touch a single risen without talking first to Efut, but this is a ridiculous bug. FIX IT. Please.
Today is 18.12.2014, two years since this bug was first reported. After playing with one of my characters through the story mode, I had it happen to me not 5 minutes ago.
I’m sorry, but this is a total, inexcusable disgrace for any gaming company, not to mention a company with such a huge player base…
I played this mission today, 24/01/2015 and I got the same problem. The first 6 undead mobs have a buff that makes them invulnerable. Therefore Warmaster Efut get stuck fighting with first 2 unkillable mobs. I tried to move on towards the keep, and when I reach it, I automatically get to do second part of quest line, and after it all the other parts till the end. But after I completed “Report to General Soulkeeper” it keeps saying I have to complete Accompany Warmaster Efut. I tried to log out then in again, but I got to re-do all the Under Siege quest line. After reading some threads, included this one, I tried not to engage mobs before Efut did and everything worked fine. It was such a pain doing it all over again.
Same problem, 2 years after initial report. Mod said he couldn’t reproduce it a year ago, then nothing?
This post tells you specifically how to reproduce it. Good job Anet, I just wasted half an hour on this quest, and I’m gonna go play another game now that fixes it problems…
1.25.15 bug just occurred for myself and friend running same personal story mission.
Lets fix the first game before we worry about expansion.s…
:/
30.1.2015, Efut bugged out and I can’t complete the story quest. Like NanoDragon said, first fix the game, then come the expansions
Bug still here. Efut just stands in front of the wall. If I talk to him he say’s ’I’m ready if you are’ but nothing happens. Stuck at 3rd checkpoint ‘accompany warmaster efut’
Okay – I think I can reproduce this. If you follow Efut religiously, the mission progresses normally.
If instead you follow him to the first star, then run to MOBs that appear. They will be invulnerable. After a few seconds, a second group of MOBs are fighting NPCs. Run to them and they can be killed. Finish killing all MOBs in sight. Mission is now borked.
Just wanted to add that I am having the same issue as well. I’m completely done with the mission, but it still has the objective ‘Accompany Warmaster Efut.’
Ran into this problem today. I believe I did what horrido.8436 mentioned.
Finished other 2 objectives, but this one remains open. Have to restart mission
Having the same problem right now, and I didn’t aggro any mobs before talking to Efut. I even fell behind her annoying slow walk to the first mob, but all the mobs are still invunerable.
Just encountered this problem. I didn’t attack any of the risen before the bone wall turned up. The first 6 risen all have the buff that makes them invulnerable, so I can’t progress any further. Tried starting again multiple times and no luck…
I just experienced this as well. Why haven’t any of the developers addressed this yet?
I had the same bug when I did this last week, but it fixed itself. As I was escorting Efut, she got snared by the invulnerable risen. I ran up ahead to the vigil keep and killed everything there to see if anything happened. Nothing happened. So, I ran back down to where she was, and then I continued to the bone wall. By the time I’d reached the bone wall, the mobs were vulnerable. I was able to kill the mobs and continue with the mission.
The first and second time I tried the above solution, it didn’t work. But when I tried it a third, I didn’t even have to return to Warmaster Efut, or even kill all the risen. As soon as I got to the wall it jumped into the cut scene where you speak to General Soulkeeper and then the mission progressed normally. Thanks for the help, hope this helps others having this same problem!
I’m having the same issue today. Warmaster is just staring at the front gate. I decided to head on up, and clear out the mobs, try to get the catapults rebuild so I can destroy the Orrian siege weapons, but apparently the blacksmith is in an endless loop fighting an immune Risen Thrall. How does this bug still exist?
Bug still exists this far after launch, very upsetting.
There is a group of 2-3 mobs off to the side at the start – they have to die first then each following pack becomes killable.
Still broken, had to redo the whole instance…
Today is 31.3.2015 and the bug still exists! I still can’t accompany Efut!
Happened to me on May 3rd 2015, so I guess this bug is still around.
For what it’s worth, I didn’t notice Efut was important at first and ran right up the path toward the keep. Didn’t even see the bone wall appear, didn’t realize there was anything else going on until the dialogue started. Then I continued toward the wall until I realized I was supposed to be with Efut, doubled back, and Efut was stuck. Tried finishing the mission on my own, got stuck at the very end, had to restart.
Staying right on top of Efut from the moment she appears got me through it seems. So I dunno.

happened to me today May 6th 2015
Still bugged.
- edit* I’ve replicated the bug
Once you start, after talking to Treherne if you run past Efut and ignore the dialog guns a blazing to kill all the risen, she will glitch and stand there kind of bewildered you just blew her off, and wont allow you to complete the instance, if you run past the gates and continue onto the black smith, that mission procs and you can finish it, then you defend the field, which you can also finish, then Efut runs up to the newly spawned Soulkeeper ( who never came out from the keep ) and they all just stand there.
to not bug this, wait for Efut to finish any and all dialog and don’t rush ahead.

06/29/2015 3rd try now, still bugged
Haha wow.
Got Efut stuck after the bone walls go up on try #1.
Now I got Efut moving on try #2 but the risen are invulnerable so she won’t move passed the first group.
This mission is seriously bugged. How has it not been fixed yet after 2 years?
I did this mission twice in the past three or four days, and nothing bugged either time.
I’ve just fallen foul of this bug. I did fail to keep up with Efut, so I tried it again, making sure I stuck with her and it completed OK. So thanks for the hints above.
Happened to me just now. Finished the rest of the quest, hoping it would sort itself out. It didn’t.
I just had this bug as well.
When I did it for the 3rd time I noticed that the mobs have a determined buff if the group before that hasn’t been cleared yet. What bugged me the first time, were a bunch of risen that were dragged off to the side of the road. Normally you are inclined to skip those, but skipping those causes the other group to keep their determined buff.
So if you try it again, make sure you kill everything down the road in order. There might be some pesky risen fighting Vigil somewhere on the side of the road, don’t skip those.
Bugged. The mobs are invulnerable to all attacks.
Pretty sad to have a bug last over so many months.
I just got this glitch today too. Was a little disappointed.
Seems to run in line with the idea that attacking anything before hand messes it up.
This is two years old but happened to me just today. The warmaster just stood in front of the bone wall the entire time. I was able to run up and clear the keep, rebuild the trebuchets and complete all the other objectives except Accompany Efut. I even went through cut scenes and dialog for later in the mission but couldn’t complete it.

there will be more to blow up later.” – Cynn
Continues to remain bugged. That’s a frustrating 30 minutes to lose. Considering this thread’s long and storied history, I should probably advise the wife (who just started playing courtesy of the f2p shift) not to worry too much about the personal story.
Still glitches 9/11/2015. Can we get some input on this A net? Perhaps when we can expect it to be fixed?
