Trapped in Titan's Realm (Glitch?)

[Kraedi]

So I am probably pretty slow but I spent maybe about 2 hours playing through the Titan's Realm level. I have maxed exploration on my Praetor's suit so I could see I was near the end of the level (I had the blue key and there was only one room left which was where I'd use the blue key)

I decided to backtrack to get to a room I had missed (possibly the only secret I was missing on the level) according to my auto map. The only way to get back to it was to back track and go through a teleportation circle. Upon doing so, the circle became sealed in (mind you I had gone in this circle before, and then now re-entered it to a room I had already explored and cleared). I am now trapped in an isolated area of the level. There are two exits to previously explored areas and for whatever reason both are sealed off.

I decided to explore the room. I went to a switch I had previously pressed (the one on top of the crushing stone) and it was illuminated, allowing me to press it again. I figured this would reset the locks and I'd be able to leave the room. Instead, it activated a checkpoint and everything is still locked :(

I really don't want to start this level all over after playing through the entire thing but it looks like I will have to. I hope they can fix this unusual bug. In the meantime, be very careful while backtracking through portals, or probably in general, while in Titan's Realm.

If anyone has any advice on how to fix this, I would appreciate it. But I'll probably just have to run the level again. I need to beat this gaaame, new games are coming out that I need to play too!

I've tried rebooting the game and also dying. Going to go ahead and restart level :( I'll leave this as a warning.

Hmm did you hit the lever for the secret level in that room, that one also opens a gate for backtracking. (The lever should be in the alcove right of the door in your first screenshot)

Had the same thing happen to me. SOL due to bad scripting of the level. That teleport should not have relocked.

It's just happened to me! I've been looking for something that will unlock the teleport but I can't find anything... As mentioned here I had previously been through it but backtracked... now it's locked! Any ideas apart from restarting the level?

[AnyBloodyName]

Update: I think this might have been fixed because after restarting DOOM and continuing the campaign I found I was able to proceed and finish the level. I didn't need the teleport, just went into the final battle room which was right in front of me after the reload. Not quite sure what happened but it's better than restarting the level!

This is still broken. :/

I have had that happen when I went backwards on a map 3 times. Somehow, something will trigger an action which the game will think you have not gone through a particular gate and will not allow you to continue. Twice I was able to shut down the game, including exiting steam, and the level would reset itself and I could finish the level with no further problem. Once, I had to restart the level. I also experienced a problem on that same level wherein i enabled the lever to the secret doom level and instead of going back immediately, I continued on and came back later, only to find the secret room door wasn't open but the lever would not trigger again. After restarting, the room was open. I think you have to consider this game a linear shooter and not a sandbox, so always make sure you do everything in order.

Just came across this forum as I am now in the same plight. I finished the level and instead of using the blue skull, I decided to back track as I saw on the map I had missed some things. Good thing I did as I discovered the last secret (playing classic DOOM section). However, as with others, once I transported back to section with the heavy anvil dropping, then transporter is now caged off and there is now way for me to proceed anywhere. this sucks

[Hispanicgamer]

Did the same thing as you describe, uromen. I can't figure out how to open the caged teleporter.

The bug is still there.

Still there as of 10/20/18. I can either end the level and continue to chapter 11 or go through the portal, open the classic map and have to go back to the checkpoint by getting crushed by the rock.

The good news: I proceeded to the Crucible level and then went back to the main menu and looked at the classic map menu. The Phobos Anomaly map is there. It just didn't show up until I actually completed the Titan's Realm level.

Ok, so I had this problem too, but it was a simple fix. Load checkpoint and your back to the other side.

[AltimaMantoid]

Still there as of December 23rd, 2018. Had this happen to me on stream. Really pissed me off. I'd imagine this bug will forever remain in the game because id Software are (at current) prioritizing Doom Eternal, coupled with that the game has had no further patches since around mid 2017 at the latest (aside from the 4k patch earlier in 2018).

If this happens to you, just load previous checkpoint. If you're still stuck, restart the map. There is no other way to exit.

Happy Festivus!

Necroposting that this still raises from the dead even now in 2020...urgh.
