Gortash Fight Bug

[CaptainCredian]

I'm unsure if I approached this fight the wrong way, but since initiative started, it's been super janky.

Massive story spoilers.


After saving the Gondians from Iron Throne, I immediately went into the Steel Foundry. I had the quest info tell me that Gortash is angry and would back away from his proposed arrangement of ruling the city together. However, when I snuck into the foundry, all of the watchers are ignoring me for some reason. I talked to some of the gondians who are surrounded by a circle of fists and other npcs, as well as a massive pool of blood centered on the gnomes, but all of them just tell me to "help the others".

I beeline towards the quest objective, assuming this is all dandy, and place the bomb on the panel thing without hitch. The cutscene plays, the foundry explodes, and then Wulbren gets pissed at me for not killing the remaining Gondians. Kinda weird how he won't listen to reason considering I saved his ass multiple times.

Anyway, I proceeded to attempt to go to Wyrm's Rock, notice the teleport isn't available, so I go back to Rivington, walk up to the drawbridge, the guards tell me to proceed even though the drawbridge is lifted, so I warp back to Basilisk Gate, walk down into the crossing passage area transfer spot, and immediately start combat with the fists manning the drawbridge. This is where the jank really begins.

Enemies pile on me as normal, whatever, I don't mind. The people come out from the barracks, I kill everyone who attacks me, I enter the reception(?) area for the bodyguards and attendants, underneath the coronation area, I get attacked, I kill them all. INITIATIVE DOESN'T END for some reason, but there aren't any more hostile creatures on the initiative tracker, so I try to go up to the coronation area, I'm immediately attacked by everything (and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gadgets on the wall to boot), but I do my best to defeat every hostile thing in the room. I do exactly that,

Initiative still doesnt end, so I assume that the fight continues upstairs, where Gortash is supposed to be. Keep in mind that I haven't been to the upstairs area AT ALL, because any time I would attempt to climb the stairs after the induction, the sentries wont allow me even though Gortash struck a deal. I spend at least 10 turns just dashing and using all my mobility to get to Gortash's room, avoid all the traps, and get into another fight with Gortash and his cronies, no cutscene, no dialogue, they just joined initiative the moment I walked in. I disposed of them very anticlimactically, and then I get the quest completed notifications. But guess what, I'm still in initiative. Now, it's weirder, since there's literally noone on the tracker. Not even my own characters.

I'm at a loss as to what to do. I tried destroying all the gizmos on the walls even though they aren't in initiative, nada. I tried quick saving and quick loading, still in combat.

I love this game because it gives me the DND fix I crave when I can't play with my friends, but these are game-breaking bugs that make the experience super unsatisfactory. I can look past the weird animation glitches, the visual bugs, but I can't play if the game won't let me to.

I hope this gets fixed soon!

If the fight won't end with no enemies in sight, it's glitched. Have to reload, sorry.

this is exactly what happened to me and my group. the BEST case scenario for me is that it was a bunch of janky ass bugs because i was very disappointed in the whole sequence. it was also extremely anticlimactic that there was no dialogue in any way. it was like approaching a group of zombies in the sense that we were suddenly fighting. is this not one of the final bosses of the game? i feel very let down after waiting years for this game...

Same here! There was a relatively huge update a few hours ago, but still didn't change anything in the Gortash quest. No cutscenes, everything feels flat, I had more conent with the cows in this game than with Gortash. I don't even wanna proceed because it feels so unfinished right now. But I also don't just wanna watch the cutscenes on YouTube or sth, because I wanna experience this game??? There are some major issues in act 3 but this in particular is just game breaking for me.
