Dragons Deciet 'Holes and Corners' Boss bug

dykerasdykeras Member Posts: 326 Arc User
I am at the end of 'Holes and Corners' and the end boss does his little cinematic of walking down the stairs, then goes back to the game and the boss is nowhere to be found?
The mission says 'Defeat Leader' but there is no leader?? Tried loading and re-loading several times and all is well until I get to this point which is stopping me from continuing.

    Seems the boss guy spawns under the map...

    I was able to get around this by deploying crawler mines and gravimetric traps around the area.

    Crawler Swarm does not work. I had to repeatedly spam him with Grav traps until he finally died. Took forever, too.
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

    Doing the same with me, I never had this problem with this mission before. But it is impossible for me to finish now.

    Yup, same problema here, something got broken in that map :neutral:

    Gravimetric Traps is pretty much the only way to take him down, and you have to hit him with it a lot. To target him specifically (so you can see where he is), go to the map (press M) and look for the red dot that says "Galik" when you hover over it. Click on that dot and you've targeted him. Get close to him (within 10m is usually fine) and hit him with Gravimetric Traps. It'll take a few times because 1) his shield absorbs some of it, 2) he regenerates back to full health pretty quickly, 3) he spawns Vaadwaur Support Drones, which will take some of the Grav Trap damage, and 4) the trapped Vaadwaur will also periodically get hit with the Grav Trap. Just keep at it. Once his shields are completely drained (unlike his health, his shields do not regenerate) and if you get it with no Support Drones, the Grav Traps will take him out.

    It's a long slog, though, so have coffee on hand.

    Yeah, I can across this bug on June 12th. Fortunately, it happened with an engineering character. The quantum mortars (had an explosive expert Doff slotted for a chance to create 3 of 'em) I fabricated before the cutscene started were able to target and kill Galik and I was able to continue the mission.

    At least the QMs could target him. Only thing I could hit him with was gravimetric traps.

    If you are not an engineer and you don't want to wait for Cryptic to fix then mission. Then the only other alternatives I can think of is to try an Overcharge Turret or the Echo Papa Drone System. Both are universal kit models, but I cannot guarantee you they will be able to target Galik.

    The character I was playing was a Fed Engineer. QMs couldn't target him. EP607 Drones couldn't target him. Solar Gateway and Mass Gravimetric Detonation wasn't even selectable. Only thing that could target him was the Grav Traps.

    I think the bug affects different players in different ways in terms of what can actually be used. A friend of mine is stuck there because NOTHING he has will target Galik, and he even tried the Grav Traps at my suggestion.

    I just played this today and the boss Galik still spawned under the map. Only way I was able to get around it was by "relogging" onto my account. Then I spawned in the same spot underneath the map as the boss, so I was able to fight him in a black nothingness. Once he was defeated it triggered the second cutscene, it displayed somewhat properly and I resumed from the surface.

    The last boss at the end of the mission works properly.

    Hey, thanks for letting us know, we'll get this fixed ASAP

    Yeah, just playing it now, tried 2x and still 6m under the floor. Either get him up or let me go down to beat him... or have him drown. I'm fine with that too.
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    Walk over "above" him and press ESC and 'Change Character', when you log back in.. You'll spawn underneath the floor besides him. Then you'll be able to fight him in limbo.. Black nothingness, when he is defeated it triggers another cutscene.

    The cutscene is buggy as... Yeah, it somewhat displays properly, anyway when it's over you spawn back ontop of the floor.

    That's how I beat the mission! :3

    next time find him on map on red dot stand over him and switch to change character and get back on same character you play you will be under floor with him after then just kill him animation started and you continue mission to the end easy :D

    One interesting meta or Q type of workaround since it seems this is simply not a priority....

    Good to know. I'd really be mad if not completing this mission messes up my AoY from finishing his AOY Tasklist for my goodies!

    Yup, that trick got me through that mission! Thanks!

    You too, huh?

    That's why I just started spamming him with Gravimetric Traps until he died.

    Update: The safety check they put in failed! The boss fell through the floor again. Luckily I was prepared this time and able to complete the mission thanks to the Echo Papa - Never leave the bridge without one!
