Ballad of Baphomet: Teleporting Out of Bounds

bobgreenwade

Every so often my Trickster Rogue teleports out of bounds during the Ballad of Baphomet, and can't get back in. It usually occurs when Baphomet is close to or at the edge of the arena, and I use the Deft Strike or (occasionally) Bloodbath. I wind up on the outside of the "force field" around the Maze Engine arena, able to move along the edge but no other direction. I'm also unable to target Baphomet (though he can attack me), and I can't get back inside the circle even using Shadowy Disappearance.

This has also happened on one occasion with my Great Weapon Fighter, using Avalanche of Steel. I'm not sure that one can be duplicated, though.

I keep meaning to test if Deft Strike can work around this issue, but not remembering to do it.

It doesn't, at least for me. I cannot target Baphomet, nor any NPC mobs, or anything else on the interior of the arena. If I could, it wouldn't be an issue for me.

I used Path of Blade, smoke bomb and the companion to slowly kill Baphomet. Then, teleport out using VIP. I did that more than once.

What I've been meaning to test is whether targetting my companion works, as this sometimes functions even when other options don't. It probably won't work if you can't focus it on an enemy though.

This one is new. This time is my OP. Somehow, he was knocked into one level above ground in the outer rim. He also lie flat on the air for a while. He couldn't move or hit anything. Then, later, I assumed he was knocked off the position a bit but was still above ground. He could do at will/encounter/daily but he could not move. I kept on fighting on the air and somehow eventually he was knocked out from there and back to the platform.

Makes me think you got hit with Flame Strike and hit some kind of invisible barrier. I don't remember if Linu does that power. I know that the Celeste doppelganger in Phantasmal Fortress does.

I was stuck on the edge of the platform and couldn't hit Baphomet at all with my rogue. Used Deft Strike near the edge of the platform. Could move around the edge left or right, but could not move further in or deeper towards the center of the platform.

I ran into a similar problem in one of the Underdark story quests recently. The one in the Vellosk Foothills... Lost Dwarf something.

You fight the orc boss in a similar arena with a barrier that drops when you win. I was on a rogue and flurry-locked and somehow got knocked upwards and stuck in/above the barrier, unable to move but still able to target the boss, so I just threw daggers until the boss died. The boss was not able to attack me at all. When he died, the barrier fell and my character dropped back to the ground and completed the mission objectives. Not a fair fight but considering how many times I've done these quests, I didn't exactly care.
