Mini-bosses freeze after death

[Terrestre]

Has anyone had this issue where mini-bosses freeze after death? Perhaps this happens when playing some boss animation.

Hey there, were you by any chance using the Soul Siphon upgrade that leaves an AoE on the ground when it defeats things? That seems to be the cause of this issue.

Yes. I just finished off the boss with a siphon

I think it does it with ruptures AoE as well.

Hmm, just checked and it doesn't seem to happen with Rupture... were you playing Singleplayer or Online Multiplayer when this happened? What other upgrades / skills did you have?

When you got stuck at the end of the miniboss defeat sequence, could you still see a black silhouette of the boss? Did rewards spawn like normal?

Hrm it was 2 player multiplayer, 1 was scythe with hailstone armor and rupture (rupture upgraded to leave the pulsing AoE field). I was void mantle, with frost wall (only one upgrade which was the bonus damage and freeze on touching the wall) and the magic bolts. When it freezes for us it is always the first mini boss, though isn't always the same version. The boss does its explody animation and then just hangs up on the zoom in. Trying to remember if loot spawned at all and I don't think it did.

This is happening consistently for you? I've been trying (and failing) to reproduce this issue without Soul Siphon consistently. Could I gather some more information from you if possible?
- What weapon mods are you and the other player using?
- What Ember Tree upgrades are you and the other player using?
- What Skills and Upgrades are you using?
- What relics did you have?
- Did this ever happen to you before the 1.4 update?
- Roughly how often is this happening to you?

And lastly is there any way I could get a recording from you of this happening? It would be extremely helpful!

I'll get the logs of the other player as well and post what we were using as soon as I get them. Id say it's happened only 3 times and only since the update. It also has only happened to us on endless, never the first time around.

The one thing I'm pretty sure of is in our case we haven't used soul syphon yet. One of the freezes was right after a scythe slash, and in both cases I think the other player had the potato rupture mod.

After some more investigation, there does appear to be another softlock on miniboss death related to the Rupture Ultimate Upgrade. We're looking into a fix :)

Ah was just about to post saying it might be one of the 25% insta-kill moves :)
glad you figured it out
