Can't unlock Invoker

[Shepard]

Myself and others have experienced a bug where the Invoker cannot be unlocked. I have stood in the sand multiple times for 20+ minutes in the exact spot that all the guides show, and have confirmed I am doing everything correct. I've tried touching the stone, restarting the game, validating the files, even reinstalling the game- but the bug persists.

I ♥♥♥♥ you not- I have been at this for hours, trying multiple solutions, ripping my hair out. Then right after I post this, I say, "I'll try one more time, just in case." And it worked. I did nothing different than my other attempts, so the event should be looked at regardless for inconsistencies.

From what I gather you have to do it around those 2 specific piles. Anywhere else is a problem. THere should also be a sound cue when you are at the right spot.

For anyone still having issues. Try touching the corpse beforehand and then go back into sands.

When I did it, I approached the area you are supposed to stand in and then I looked for this faint swirling circle of sand between the two little mounds. You can barely see it if you're looking for it. Then I stood in the middle of that circle for about 8 minutes. I walked away from my computer and came back and it appeared that my character was slowly sinking into the sand. Right about when the sand was up to the top of my character's waist the game acted like I drowned in the sand. Made all the sound ques for a death but didn't go to the death screen. Then suddenly it fades in to my character laying down unconscious in a new room.

I honestly don't know how they expected people to figure this out without a guide.

By exploring, paying attention to the hints etc.
Invoker is actually quite easy to get if you follow the subtile hints.

Archon on the other hand was designed to be found by datamining the game files.

still bug?

Where was the hint to find a circle of dust that can barely be seen in a trap room and wait for an indeterminant amount of time to fall through a floor into a room that has an item?

Seriously.
Where.

I want to say for others, this ♥♥♥♥ worked for me.

for anyone else eventually comming across this threat witht he same issue, here is what i figured out when i had the problem:

cant have any skills that prevent death (cat ring, challenger class) cant have any Archetype with summons (handler, Summoner) cant have Archon Archetype equipped(assumption but seemed to matter) cant have Alchemist Archetype
if you have it: go explorer/Hunter, that i can confirm works.

if you wait for +5minutes in the same spot without sinking in, leave the sand all together (walk over to where the armor is and then go back again) you dont have to reload the area, but switchign archetypes/gear/other things and wanting to try agains eems to require that you have left the sand all together before attempting new (thats what worked for me)

also: cant be in Coop, gotta be Solo.


these are my experiences mixed with things other people told me from their experiences in the discord.
it worked for me after switching to Explorer/Hunter, leaving the sand towards the armord drop, goign back in and standing between the both sandhills, if you look hard enough yous ee a little circular sandswirl like a dustdevil roughly between the two, i stood deadcenetr in that facing the corner.


good luck o7

This worked! We are playing coop with my friend and he's the host. I slipped in immediately from first try but he couldn't get it for like 40 mins. Then we read your comment and he removed his summoner archetype and touched the corpse and it worked first try!
