Stuck at Levalon

By acs236 on Feb 10, 2012 at 2:28pm

I traveed form Sevalon to Levalon. There was no cut scene, but the characters in Levalon make comments suggesting that I've been there before. I tried going to south the tower that some of the characters talk aobut, but when I get there, it immediately says that I'm wasting time and need to find the magistrate. I can't get back Levalon because the northern bridge is blocked. I'm not sure what to do next.

Same thing here

Except I can get back to Levalon. The way isn't north through the bridge. You go West and then south to get back to Levalon. I've gone all the way back to the barrier, but can't find what I've missed that is keeping me from going forward in the story. Disappointing...

I figured it out... for my issue anyway

By acs236 on Feb 13, 2012 at 10:26pm

We're having the same issue. I can get back to Levalon too. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Also, when I found the various towns there were no cut scenes.

Until....

I went to go back toward the barrier that you cross to get into the bad lands. When I did that, a weird monster (boss?) appeared and there was some strange dialogue about it being the "exit." It really didn't make sense in context, but I think the characters were joking about always having to fight a boss at the end of a level. But this wasn't really the end of the level, so ????.

After I beat this boss, I went back to the various towns/monestary (?). Each time there was a new cut scene. Someone immediately told me to go see the Abbot. Then in Levalon there was a town gathering, etc. When I got to Sevalon (?) I was attacked by a couple characters who previously just stood there with no dialogue. Then I was told to go to the tower south of Sevalon.

On an unrelated note, I think I found another glitch. In the tower, I was fighting the boss and losing. So I decided to go level up some more. I went to the lower levels of the tower and leveled up. But when I went back up the boss was gone, and I can't advance any more -- no boss to beat. So I restored an earlier game (luckily I had one, and I'll try leveling up first).

Good luck!

Thank you for the response and for helping out our other players. We will look into that glitch you mentioned and try and get it resolved for our next update.

Aha!...

I think I know what happened. I did find the boss when I first went to the barrier, but it kicked my trash. I hadn't expected it that quickly and my characters were very low on stamina so I stood little chance. I went back, leveled up and rest and then when I went back the "Boss" wasn't there so I just continued on... May be that the glitch is there. Hopefully it's fixed in an update soon.

okay, that didn't work

By therjnel on Feb 14, 2012 at 12:53pm

I went all the way back through the barrier and even rested on the other side, then came back through again and... still the boss stil wasn't back nd I didn't get a cut scene when I arrived at Agedan... bummer. I'll have to wait for an update that hopefully fixes the problem.

how to fix

By Alcadeias on Feb 19, 2012 at 4:31pm

I had the same problem but my scenario was a little different.

When I first went through Heartwood, I didn't encounter the boss (no cutscene) and wandered the Badlands for a while, eventually turning back. On my way back, the cutscene triggered and all was fine after that.

The cutscene trigger is just before the large clearing at the end of Heartwood. Since the entrance is a bit wide you could "go around it" and that's pretty much the cause of it, as far as I know. Until an update fixes it I suggest you guys just walk around that area until the cutscene is triggered.

Thanks for sharing what worked for you

By therjnel on Feb 22, 2012 at 10:33am

Unfortunately I wandered around that screen just about as much as possible and it didn't seem to trigger the cut scene. Hopefully they come out with a fix for the problem and I hope they can fix it for those who've had this problem and not just those who haven't reached that point in the game. It'd be a serious disappointment to have to go back and start over again.

Still Working

By Andrew on Feb 23, 2012 at 3:11pm

Hey guys, we wanted to let you know we haven't forgotten about you. We are working around the clock and are trying to get this and a few other issues resolved. We will make a larger announcement over Twitter and Facebook once a fix is ready but for now hold in there! Keep posting and letting us know what works for you and exactly where you run into problems, it helps us narrow down the issue big time! Thanks again, and we're sorry being away from the forums for a few days but we'll continue to keep you posted.

The glitch

By Orangek on Mar 04, 2012 at 6:03pm

Hey I had the same problem so I went back and started over again. This time I beat the boss the first time and the story continued on. I think that's where the glitch is.

Same problem same place

By Timw95 on Mar 06, 2012 at 3:01am

I have the same issue in the same place. I originally lost to the boss and then went back to level up some and when I returned, no boss. I then continued on and now I am stuck. I tried to go back through the barrier and return but still no boss. Love the game and can't wait for the fix.

Re-Fix

By gold_magistrate on May 09, 2012 at 1:36am

So the new update came around. 3 months later than I had originally hoped. I feel like game-breaking things like these should've been addressed and rolled out asap instead of bundling it together with CH 2 and these side rebalances.
But people like me are still in the same boat, you guys may have fixed the problem for future players, but I still can't progress the storyline and the boss in Heartwood is still MIA.

The solution should be simple for people in my situation. I already bought lategame gear from the last town. I scanned all those monsters as well, they should all be flags for moving the storyline along or force-respawning a boss, since it's feasibly impossible to have endgame gear at X point in the storyline without something bad happening to the player.

In the same boat as well. Still can't progress.

Hey All

By Andrew on May 11, 2012 at 9:35am

We are currently working on this bug, I will try and get you information as soon as possible. The bugs and story blocks from chapter 1 should have been resolved with the update. We are looking into why this wouldn't have happened.
