My recoiler does not work
I'm at level 31 of the dungeon and have relied entirely on the recoiler to come back when I'm overloaded with junk, but when I press the button, the game writes:
The Joppa recoiler emits a shower of sparks!
You take 1 damage from the Joppa recoiler's electrical discharge!

I am transported to Joppa for one single turn, and then I return to the dungeon again! I didn't find any information on this phenomenon on the wiki. Help.

Got an ontological anchor or a nulling item on you?

If it is an ontological anchor just un-equip or de-power it.
If it is nulling then maybe wait till the effect wears off, unless of course something in the area is re-applying the effect.

I found the effect astrally tethered, but wherever I go, whatever I do, he stays with me. How to get rid of it? I think it happened after the fight with nullbeard.

Are you wearing an ontological anchor? If so take it off or de-power it.
Otherwise if it is a temporary effect then it should just wear off. I might be mistaken though as I am not too familiar with Nulbeard but, in most other cases it should just wear off naturally assuming nothing else is re-applying the effect.

no, I have no anchor. I have been playing for the whole day, I will soon get out of the underworld on foot, but the effect has not gone away.

I had a similar issue with a beguiled king crab, somehow retained frozen status days after leaving Bethesda. Also encountered a status issue with a dominated PhaseSpider that permanently lost phase after being hit with normality gas in one of the adjacent tiles. (PS, really good way to look at the adjacent tiles to see if they are worth doing.)

I was under the impression the "Astrally Tethered" debuff (when not from an ontological anchor) is permanent after prolonged exposure to being "Astrally Burdened"?

Do you have any armor on with the "nulling" mod on it? Nulling functions similarly to the Ontological Anchor in that it applies normality while worn.
