Horror Hospital mission trouble

[Euclidite]

I'm having issues with the Horror Hospital side mission.

In this mission, there are three healing stations the enemies can use. There's a timed objective to destroy the first two, and then another for the third. You have to move pretty quickly on hard difficulty to do it, but it's totally doable.

The objective is then to clear out remaining enemies. Should be no problem, right? Then the problems start.

As soon as enemies move near the last healing station, it starts functioning again. It displays negative health, and cannot be targeted. AoE attacks don't hit it. It's immortal and keeps healing. This really feels like a bug.

Still, it might be possible, if not for the fact reinforcements keep spawning. Again and again. Every other turn, there's reinforcements of a Fume, an Ogre, and multiple Scum. It's more than I can clear out in two turns, and eventually I get overwhelmed. I've made it probably 4 or 5 waves, but it didn't stop and more were coming.

Is there something obvious I've missed that will stop the reinforcements? Would it have stopped if could hold out a little longer and I need to get better? Or have I hit a bug?

I had the same problem, tried it 12 different ways with different combo of characters and gadgets. The fact is that you are just going to get overwhelmed and there is no way you can do this in two turns...too many damage sponge enemies and it is on the other side of the arena. Two of your characters would probably die if you tried to rush it. The spawns are just too much to handle. If we had 4 characters instead of 3, then I would think this is doable.

Yeah, something's up with this mission. I ended up just clearing it anyway after failing the healing station objective and I still got a reward so I just moved on.

[Euclidite]

I eventually tried turning it down to normal. The weird zombie healing station problem didn't happen, and clearing the mission was pretty trivial. I didn't want to do that as the normal difficulty seems pretty easy, but at least I've moved on.

Hopefully, by the time I play through again (and I probably will; I've loved this so far) the developers will have had a chance to iron out any issues this mission has.

Had this issue as well, at least with the last healing station reviving on the enemy turn. However, when I went to click on it my game crashed, and after the resulting reload the issue didn't return and there were no subsequent enemy waves.

On hard - I saved a mark 2 grenade for the enemies that spawn and cluster near the final healing station - the grenade plus the healing station exploding cleared the whole group, and just had to mop up some scum. Then I had plenty of turns to overwatch and soften the final wave. The phantom healing station spawned for me too, but I assumed it was just a visual bug since nothing live long enough

Bugs start appearing if you load in-mission saves. Beat it without reloading, or load pre-mission save.

Does it work if you restart level and complete it like that? I dont have any saves prior mission left

edit: it works

It may work, i am not sure.

^ This is the answer.

I reloaded an old save from during the fight, restarted the mission (so that works), and tried again. Played it very safe and didn't even try to kill the third station. Played defensive, killed all the enemies, and completed the mission. No endless reinforcements. Worked like a charm.

It can also be done even if it's bugging.

Just stop reloading and continue the two (infinite) last waves without saving and it will end.

Hi guys, it seems we have a fix ready for this bug and it should be included in the game's next update. Stay tuned.
