Boss Queen Mytha still bugged

[yohoo]

1st try solo = bug, not shown physically but song is played and health bar is there.
2nd try with 3npc summon phantom = still bugged
3rd-5th try with one each try of npc phantom = bugged also.

Pls send help.

[yohoo]

can anyone summon me, to kill the boss in your world? I'm at SM 757.475, perhaps this will fix the boss in my world, char -> Lord Yohoo at upper earthen peak bf (3rd bf before boss)

[yohoo]

(updated)
thanks to Mr. nice guy for summoning, and i help defeating in his world, but now i return and the problem still persist. :(

From what i dug up, the only things working are:

1) loading an available backup save from before you entered Earthen Peak
2) skipping the fight against Mytha and therefore skipping subsequent areas (Iron Keep, Belfry Sol, Crown of the Iron King dlc), including the fight against the Old Iron King and, if this is the first playthrough with that character, instead open the Shrine of Winter by having a Soul Memory of >1 Million to progress as usual
3) make a new character and start over

There seems to be no real solution to this, although this bug has been around for and known to Namco since at least 2014 :(

[yohoo]

apparently opt. 1 is no good, as i thought the game will be easy breeze (in term of progress without any bug)
so i will choose opt.2, where would i find the Shrine then?
and lastly if i skip the boss in this playthrough, perhaps NG+2 would appear normal?

From the Ruined Fork Road bonfire, go up the stairs and take the path to the left.
There you'll encounter several enemies, like Falconers and Invisible Hollows.

If you follow the way, you make a left, going past (or killing) a Forest Grotesque (https://darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/Forest+Grotesque), further follow the slope until you reach the Shrine of Winter.

From there on you will be able to continue to Drangelic Castle.
But keep in mind. first you have to aquire a Soul Memory of 1 Million or more, else you will not be able to open the doors to the Shrine of Winter.

Hopefully so. Would be a real bummer if not, as opening the Shrine of Winter in each following ng cycle adds one million more to the Soul Memory required to opening the doors (2M ng+, 3M ng++ and so on).

Good luck on the rest of your run

[yohoo]

well i hope so, i planning to play at least 3-4 NG+ to learn more, the pvp things can wait until i strong enough, thank you for the info.

[yohoo]

perhaps i burn the mechanism, choosing the easy way, then the game got angry and bugged it, is this plausible?

[Lord Bob]

Although I like the idea but no, that should not happen.
I have burned the windmill each time before fighting Mytha and not once has that bug occured to me.

I'm not sure what the issue is, but I figure the least extreme measure you can try is, backup your save, reinstall DS2 from scratch, add your old save to the new clean instalation, try again

I once had the weirdest bug of all. Once I reached the 2nd bonfire room in forest of fallen giants there was no bonfire there, Milentia the merchant was nowhere to be found and the whole room was super dark "probably because there was no bonfire.

As soon as I hit quit game the game completely locked up on me with no other option but force closing the app through task manager.

bad news, i tried this method of clean install, but the boss still bugged, no other way, must skip the area and straight to shrine winter, maybe next NG will be better.

Can Anyone help me? The boss isn't spawning in the boss room. But the music is playing and the health bar appears .
