Game Breaking Bug

[Subsonar7191]

I found a game-breaking bug on the Moon Seal Mission #3. You have to kill 16 critters and survive 4 turns. I killed everything and both Charlie and myself were still alive. Mission failed. WTF? Came back the next night. Same sequence, all mobs dead. Charlie and I survive. Mission failed.

Well designed game.

Could be something introduced with the patch cos there's a lot of us who've already done this. If it's repeating and you're sure you've fulfilled both win conditions then take a video of the final turn and the failure screen and ask 2k support what's going on with it.

Is that the one where the enemies split? If so you need to make sure they clone themselves enough times that you actually kill 16. If you play on lower difficulties and/or are higher level than the mission recommendation it's possible to kill them too fast and thus not reach the required number.

It could also be a bug introduced by the patch.

Failed it the first time too. This was the first time I saw the "splitting" enemy type, and it did not occur to me that obliterating them in 1 hit fails the mission. You are supposed to let them split at least once, or you cannot get over 14 kills. Pre-patch anyway.

You have two enemies that will split. Split both of them so you have four.
Burn down 3 of them and let the last one heal enough to split again.

Its broken. I have done it 5 times now testing, and it fails each time saying "Survive 4 turns". I have had 16 mobs killed before going into the 4th round, doesnt matter, seems to fail no matter what. Broken progression

FOUND WORK AROUND! Let the mobs spit, get all the kills you need, HOWEVER, Leave one of the big Guardians ALIVE the whole match. Left one up and it completed at the end.

Thanks, let me see if that fixes the problem. After my first attempt I tried to one-shot them as often as possible.

Okay, the recommendation to let the "splitters" divide was what I needed to do. However it wasn't the entire story. Not only do the three splitters need to divide in half, you cannot kill them until they've caused the other big demons to split as well. It took me a couple of tries but on the final run-thru I had Charlie bite all three splitters and then used move to kill some of the demon dogs. On the enemy turn two of the big demons split. On my second turn I just went to town taking down as many of them as possible and by the end of the 3rd turn I had killed a total of 17 (all of them available) and had completed that part of the quest. Then as soon as I ended my turn it said mission successful!! Thanks again for your advice on this.
