Queen glitched outside of boss arena after fighting inside.

18 votes

We finally got to the Queen. Built a workbench and portal outside the door to go and repair items and for if we died etc.

We initially tried to pick our way into the dungeon through the side just a little before we decided it would be best to get the remaining seal fragments.

After returning with the seal we went inside and began the fight.

Team-mate was back at base repairing armor when I died inside the arena. We portal back and go back inside to see that there is no boss health-bar. I step outside and instantly get yeeted into oblivion by The Queen.

We had to do the remainder of the fight outside the front entrance. She didn't burrow anymore and couldn't spawn in any seekers (still spat out broods though).

Will be fixed in the patch 0.217.42 that's coming soon for PTB testing.
This bug was fixed once before, but got reintroduced in the November Unity engine update.

Hello Dominic!

Yes, she can aperantly escape out into the world.
Which is not suppose to happen =/

We are looking into diffrent places that she could get stuck inside, and possibly clip through the wall.

How low HP did you get her into before you died, respawned and came back?
About what she have in the picture you provided or lower / higher?

Hi Smiffe,

Correct we got her to the HP you can see in the screenshot before she clipped outside.
If you are entering the arena, I died in the corner to the left as you exit the initial room with the door. So outside of the small entry room in the leftmost corner closest to the door in the arena.

I should note aswell that I died from being completely trapped by the various mobs she spawns in the corner. Not sure if the collision from all the mobs in one concentrated spot might have had something to do with her clipping outsidet the arena? (There was at least 2 seekers and a LOT of broods pinning me in the corner).

We suspect that when the first player into the zone dies (chunk owner), monsters (and thw queen of course) still move while the networking is handling over ownership of the area to the next player in line. meaning monsters can then clip through walls in the worst case.

So usually, someone dies or party wipes, and then while the game does the background ownership, monsters sneak outside.

Does this sound plausible for what happend to your party?

This happened to my brother and I on a dedicated server I was running (separate client). It was a world that existed before being updated to Mistlands. We had a few other Mistlands bugs but not many. When we decided to fight the Queen, we went to the door and built a crafting table and portal in the Dverger structure below the door. I went back through the portal to the main base near the center of the world to get the sealbreaker, and the Queen spawned outside of the dungeon with the phrase "The Queen Wants it All" displayed for both of us. The dungeon door was still sealed. I went and opened the sealed door hoping she'd go back in or something, but we ended up fighting (and ultimately failing) outside.

After restoring a backup and trying again, The Queen stayed in the dungeon this time, but at one point, I got glitched out. With the Feather Cape, I fell all the way past Yggdrasil, into the cloud line, and finally landed in the Mistlands nearby.

Bug similar to this happened to us today. We went to fight the queen, followed the map marker, built a teleport, returned home to craft the item to open the door, realized that we had lost some of the spellbreakers and went out to search more. We split up and when I returned to the portal/boss door I saw something big walking in the water, the queen. I kept my distance but a friend teleported back anyway as they had just died somewhere and Queen aggroed. The boss location was a beach atop a very steep cliff. We never got the item to open the door thus never opened the door or saw what was behind, but we managed to kill the queen. On the otherhand the terrain was horrible and the hour took an hour but we prevailed and it was an epic sh*tstorm.

This happened to me today; the queen was 2/3 the way down in health, my husband and I had been fighting her for a while, our first time fighting the Queen, and she disappeared while my husband was in the boss chamber. We found her outside next to a dvergr base. Apparently Dvergr will attack her brood but not her at all, and she doesn't attack them unless hit first? Anyways, we had to finish the battle outside, surrounded by water, on an island for the most part, while being attacked by outside seekers and a gjall. It was rough but we pulled it off.
Hopefully the problem gets figured out, but it didn't make the game less fun, just more surprising for us. Good luck!

This happened twice on my dedicated server, first time we were part way through the boss and it just disappeared, went outside and saw it out there. Second time was at a different location where we had not even unlocked the vault using the sealbreaker. We were exploring the area around the lair and then suddenly the un-aggroed, full health queen was just standing outside her lair. Both times were noticed by someone dying and coming back in through a portal so it could be related to the Admin comment

It also happened to us yesterday on our dedicated server. I'm sad to see that there's no mention about a fix in the next patch (0.217.43) Is it possible to have an ETA on when this should be fixed? In the mean time, my group and I will try to kill it outside ^^

The issue is fixed in patch 0.217.43 as the pinned comment here (on top) suggested it will.
