Ok, problem solved. Invisible soldiers there. Go back to the gate than trebuchet begins shoot again, and then go back to trebuchet.

sry for my EN.

Lifesaver, thanks! I just kept getting shot and thought there was some puzzle I had to do first.
This area has some stupid issues. Like not being able to arrow-climb the walls before the trebuchet starts firing. Lost at least an hour here searching around for things that weren't there.

Wow this ♥♥♥♥ is STILL in the game.

I can confirm it is still there, at least for the PC version. The bug is caused by the 3rd enemy sitting on top of the trebuchet and not jumping down when you get to it. Tried reloading, didn't help. Tried coming back to the gate, that didn't help either except the two soldiers near the trebuchet that respawned.

Solution in my case was pretty simple: there's a wooden beam sticking out of the top platform of the trebuchet, stay almost under it and face it, hit the jump button and use the button to hook with the axe onto it. As soon as you climb on it the third soldier wakes up and jumps down.

Edit: apparently you can get on top by doing the double jump on the trebuchet's side and grabbing the ledge, so no need to work out the position under the beam

Wow..just wow. I lost respect for devs.

[Akarhogy]

Just got the mission to go for the trebuchets, experienced the glitch/bug first hand and searched for the solution. This topic came right up.

Thanks. You saved me some hours of frustration.

There are certain "steps" you must perform in order to "trigger" other events.
To trigger this event, jump onto the Trebuchet. That's the trigger, jumping up on to the Trebuchet

[Whatever]

I have tried everything listed above and it won't work.

I leapt on the beam, reloaded checkpoint, ran to the gate, ran till the treb started firing, quit the game, died from the fire archer. I can't get past this bug.

Can someone help me?!!?

EDIT: Just tried sitting at the gate for a full min under treb fire. That finally made them respawn. Was at the gate for too short a time I guess?

Really? Wow.
You finally got it to work. Great.
I think it's refered to as an anamoly. If you play again & it happens again, I think you could honestly call it a "bug."

Seriously Square Enix? I'm borrowing this game from a friend right now and just reached this part; I can't believe this hasn't been patched yet. How hard could it be?

It has been fixed. Did you try all of the above, plus verifying your game files?
The best solution that worked for me, exit game without saving, then continue. The "invisible" deathless was there

How can you call it fixed if it still manages to glitch out?

[Sam]

I only repeated what Nixxes stated in their patch notes had you bothered to read thru them.
Has your friend had this problem too? If so, then I suggest you contact them & get the solution as you seem to object to anyone else offering one and too lazy to even try when one is offered.
Good day to you Sir and heaven help you as I have a feeling no one else here will.

That's nothing.
It's STILL in the game now, months after your post, yet they are still making DLC for the game it seems. But can't be bothered to fix such glaring issues as this.

[JumaX9]

I'm posting just to confirm the issue is still in the game.

After I verified files and restarted the game I was able to see and kill the deathless.

[Sam]

If you exit without saving the game then continue, that Deathless knight comes down. I watched it yesterday & that's how the player got him down.
