Shadowheart and Eldritch Rune

[Megiddo]

Good day! I need confirmation on whether or not the Eldiritch Rune method of freeing Shadowheart is still available during the tutorial, please? I've tried multiple characters, but can't seem to loot this item. I need to know if this is a problem on my end, a known bug with the loot window not working properly, or if this method of freeing Shadowheart is no longer available.

yep..still basically the same as before. open chest, get rune, put rune in console by her pod, use your authority to open it.

Thank you for the quick reply!

But how exactly do you use the rune? I tried to drag and drop it on the console and it just gets placed there.
Note: I pushed the Button before getting the rune and I failed the authority check. Am I ♥♥♥♥♥♥?

I seem to be having the same problem. I failed the attempt to open it (didn't know about the rune yet), finally found the rune and got the hint that it might help... went back to the pod and was told to try the rune on the machine next to the pod annnnd nothing... no way to use it on the pod.

Okay... so, if fail the roll and cannot open it, send the rune to Lae'zel and have her do it.

A barbarian can rip the pod open.

That rune thing only worked for me this way: pick it up, then the console provides a Wisdom check to open the pod.

It doesn't really matter if one frees Shadowheart in the tutorial. The game makes sure you meet her a lot until you either kill her or invite her into your party.

Yes if you fail the authority check opening the pod then you cannot open it. Shadowheart will still show pup on the beach if you don't free her.

If you fail the check and cannot open it, send the rune to Lae'zel and have her do it. If she fails, Shadowheart will get free off camera and show up later at your camp.

this is a terrible answer. quick response sure but a terrible terrible answer. there is a massive bug still here where it does not show up in the chest or on the bodies and even i can not find it, and we got it last night in a coop game
