epic Against the Demon Queen: Queen Lailat boss bugged (no end chest)

[J1NG]

I don't know if this helps with your data

EVERY bit of data helps when bug hunting in reverse.

but I ran this twice in the past month and both times it bugged

Run 1: Level 28 Warlock with carceri storm pact, Epic R2. Solo Run. Character used eldritch blast or cone and spells. No weapon attacks but does use sentient queens scepter. Has a feydark familiar but it was not summoned.

Run 2: Level 16 Inquisitive (Ranger, Arti, Rogue), Heroic R2. Solo Run but had cleric parked at shrine. No familiars or pets. Cross bow attacks using rat catcher.

Thank you, will look into those to find common aspects and eliminate them from being an issue on the player side.

I don't seem much cross over between those two runs to point to a player triggered issue.

I am not certain if this is always happening or if there are cases where there are successful runs. If the latter, you may want to check the order of the rooms in case that is a factor.

Will look into room order later on, want to eliminate all possible player end "faults" first. Once that's done, can go check on the rooms. If it's not that either, it's definitely something on the Dev side then. Possibly even related to when they changed it from part of the raid to only being a normal flagging quest. But only way to check that is on the Dev end looking at the code. I just do it the hard way and eliminate everything that can be done and hopefully find causes (and hopefully solutions, or workarounds until it's fixed properly).

Again, until the Devs chime in, I'll take any and ALL data to help track this down. Just make sure you actually provide relevant info, and not just "it didn't provide a chest after completing" (the thread essentially is the proof that there's an issue, but because there's no Dev talk here, all we can do is check for commonality elements and then eliminate stuff on the stuff we do have in common; and that's basically all gear, abilities, etc on the player side so that the Devs have less stuff to look at to find the root cause, or until we find the issue ourselves).

Just had this again, on a THF barb with no familiars or pets. I was overlevel on HE, and the beatdown did go quite fast.

Room order was Snake, Octopus, Wolf, Scorpion, Monkey, Bat.

Here's a clip from my stream if devs reading need to see the bug -

https://clips.twitch.tv/RespectfulBr...gKmD6R1XYiOLSO

Basically boss's health gets to zero and quest completes but she respawns seemingly being unkillable and there's no end chest.

happened in the guild raid yesterday too, heroic reaper 1

[Scurlage]

Bug still happening on heroic:

Solo lvl 15 with hireling (Larafay).

Over-levelled.

Order: scorpion, bat, wolf, octopus, snake, monkey

Arti/ranger/rogue inquisitive. Ratcatcher with conjured bolts.

I just ranged her down to zero got quest completion /flag.

But I don't think I got the quest exp - did anyone else notice this?

[Torc]

We have run EE ADQ twice in the past week, and the end boss Queen Lailat bugs out in the last summoning circle area - we defeated Lailat, but she then revives at 0 health and becomes undefeatable (she just remains at 0 health but continues attacking).

The quest does complete, but there is no end chest.

We were considering maybe it is because we killed her too quickly? We will have to try again and slow down the dps to see if it bypasses this bug, but was wondering if anyone had any insight into this?

Still investigating but we think this is halo from the "mass frog" fix that was breaking some quests interacting with the Demon Queen's custom exit drama in an unexpected way.

Are any other bosses doing this behavior?

Someone try frogging her to see if that makes it work then

I don't think that's what Torc means. The protection against a sudden removal without it being damage based, probably is some type of code/script that now has something checking for this happening, and thus because Lailat is a Boss (and shouldn't be removed), it means the protection they implemented probably just spawns her right back out because it thinks something is trying to remove her in a fashion that shouldn't be possible. And hence the issue that we're now in.

that makes sense. We don't actually get to kill her in ADQ. When she hits 0 (or something close to it) she is whisked away (ie removed from fight) to fight another day in Zawabi's revenge. If torc is right, that event is conflicting with the Frog changes that prevents things from getting "frog"ed (ie removed from fight) if they are not eligible. Thanks to all for beating this dead frog until SSG came to dissect it.

I encounter this in Madstone last night when rescuing the Shamans. I would talk to one and it looked like it was teleporting out then reappeared and could not be interacted with. (edit: this did not break the quest as it still saw the interaction and the Shaman was waiting at the next crystal).

I would hazard to guess any quest interaction where the target you are speaking with would teleport out, may come back.

not bosses but the converted little scorpions in Claw of Vulkoor. The text says the crawl into your backpack—and the quest DOES advance—but they continue running about. Oddly they aggro giants onto them

[ReyalsNogard]

Maybe related:
One of the prisoners in Impossible Demands will run to the door but not exit. The optional to free everyone was not completable.

Not a boss, but the succubus in Wrath of the Flame became unkillable for me the other day. (The one that start off as a lightbringer then changes)

I don't know if it's related....the behaviour is almost the exact reverse, but the last few times I have run Partycrashers (heroic) and gone to kill Inkrakos (the optional after completion), I have successfully killed him and gotten access to the chests, but the objective doesn't complete, so no xp.

That's been going on for a while now though, so probably not directly related to the new ADQ nonsense.

My cousin has been through ADQ on two different characters in the past few days and bumped into the same problem, though.

Hi Torc - as Krelar mentioned (and I mentioned this earlier in the thread):
I have noticed this issue elsewhere (as someone reported earlier) - we were running Wrath of the Flame in shavarath, and in the end fight, all the "Succubus Doubles" ended up bugging out in the same way. as soon as we beat them down the succubi, they became immortal/undefeatable. as soon as a Succubus Double got down to 0, it seemed to phase away and then came back with 0 hp and unkillable.

so you will want to at least check out Wrath of the Flame.



just so everybody knows, Cordovan in the 16th Anniversary livestream tonight mentioned that Wednesday's patch this week will be addressing this ADQ Queen Lailat/chest issue.

Frogging the first Rakshasa Lord in Servants of the Overlord still bugs the quest. Drow Priestess won't go hostile and spiders won't spawn.
Tested again right now.
