Tomb of the Nine Gods puzzle trap bug

chisca17chisca17 Member Posts: 25 Arc User
We decided to skip the 2nd puzzle and when we triggered the trap we got the situation where the door would collapse and we would have to move the rocks out of the way. Everything was going fine, the door was cleaning up, until one of the party members picked the last rock. On their way to the rock pile, the door suddenly became filled with rocks again and the party member couldn't drop the rock in the pile. We tried using the "Defeat me" command and went back, but the door was still blocked and we couldn't interact with it.

Lesson learned, don't skip the puzzles.

    I've never seen a problem with the rocks before, skipping both the puzzles is something people do all the time and it's intended to be able to do that, so they should fix it.
    Apparently pointing-out the bleeding obvious is a 'personal attack'.

    I've seen people get stuck in the rocks.
    If you get to close to them while picking the rocks up, you can get stuck. Defeat me results in the puzzle becoming bugged.

    The problem was that the door was clean while the party member was carrying the last stone, and in a split second it became filled again, like we hadn't moved any rocks.

    Have experienced in the past - seems to happen more frequently if you're standing very close to the rock pile when picking up rocks, in the later stages of the task. Will complete successfully if you stand as far back as possible when picking up.
