Weird Demon boss under the black galleon.

[JiminyCrickets]

So today I was exploring the black galleon on my newish playthrough (Xbox I have a different save on here that my wife plays) because I had read somewhere that a ghost points to a chest with a legendary weapon. I didn't find the ghost instead I found a camp just near the ravine under the black galleon. This camp looked like a normal pirate camp except at the front there was a summoning circle with three devotees praying around it. Inside was a random Thrall knelt down. I thought the purpose of this camp was to save the Thrall from sacrifice or whatever but I was super wrong. After killing the devotees who mind you on their own were more difficult than I expected, a black mist appears and the Thrall starts laughing after standing up. From the summoning circle two demon guardian things come at me and start attacking me. They were easy enough but I knew it was a boss fight because they reminded me of the guardians in the witch queens place only tougher. After killing them a red half orb spawns over the summoning circle and from the Thrall a weird abomination demon worm thing that spits and throws acid comes at me. He was tough probably the hardest boss I've fought so far. He spawns a million worms that never seem to end and make it impossible to lock onto him. After literally an hour I managed to kill him but the worms didn't despawn so then I had to finish those off to which took another 30 mins. Now im standing here watching the Thrall still laughing. The demon boss gave me no loot. When you get near the guy you hear weird worm noises and the screen turns black. Obviously this is a bug but has anyone every experienced this before?


Tdlr: I found a weird Demon boss under the black galleon and after killing him I think my game is bugged because the Thrall that was in the center of the summoning circle remains there laughing and I didn't get any loot.

I haven't encounted this event yet but if it is like the others (they all appear somewhere at random) you have to smash the protective barrier around that last NPC and kill him. That is when you get the reward. I read in the forums the reward chest can sometimes take a while to spawn. I don't know if that is still the case or not.
The surrounding area will go extremely dark. That is normal, it just adds to the effect. After the last NPC is killed the darkness disappears.

I wacked that guy like 5 mins with my strongest weapon. I even threw gas bombs at him. His health didn't budge and there is no visible area to hit. I might be doing it wrong. Also my area becomes so black you can't even see the guy only the health bar.

Sounds like one of the encounter events.There is like 3 npcs and It has` the siptah boss that looks all Bloodlike and throws blood spit at you and pukes larvae right?
I have seen this event at pirate bay and icy bridge. I did not know he can be happen near Black Galleon.

They also appear at Stargazer's Crest and The Summoning Place. I've come across two Event locations at Buccaneer Bay. One right in front of the camp, the other further up the coast just before the World Boss crocodile.

These 'Events' have been going on for a while. They just appear at random times at certain locations.

I have found following events:

Near The Black Galleon (down in the river near Bilgewater Break camp) there is randomly showing event which has one person being sacrificed and big demon pops up.

The Corner of Bones camp there is random event when Migo demons attack the camp. I was low level at the time so i did not wait and see how this ended so i did run far away like a weasel.

Stragazer's Crest there is event where a sorceror in middle of protective barrier and has like 5 or 6 pink glowing mirror images that have to be killed and then barrier have to be broken until you can attack the real deal in the middle. Also place turns pitch black and you cannot see anything with out light source.

Then there are witch hunt events that have been in the game for a while.

Summoning Place Sorceror in the middle and 5 corrupt totems rise and summon undead sailors.

Between Flotsam and Jamilla liberty same Sorceror event with corrupt pillars.

The Cursed Mound same Sorceror event with corrupt pillars.

Ive killed him here and in the nameless city.

[keylocke]

haven't encountered that one in the galleon, but i fought the one in the summoning place and the one in the city where conan was hanging out.

[Bloodartist]

I did this, and it is in fact the old event but UPDATED. The demons and the laughing sacrifice are a new addition. Previously you only had to fight the summoner and the moonmonster.

This was surprising, I thought Funcom did these things and then forgot about them. Updating old stuff is a refreshing change.

Nah, it's exactly the way it was on day one, here's an old clip from 2 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h2JIASyIJw

Pain in the ass? These are great for levelling followers.

I'm not criticising your game play but I think you are missing out on a lot of gaming experience (and fun).
Suggestion only: go to Stargazers Crest and/or the Mounds of the Dead. Find and recruit 'Dalisia Snow Hunter'. Play it safe and level her up to level 10. Give her a Star Metal Mace or Short Sword, and Shield and then let her loose. She will save your a**e in any fight. She will take down 'The Brute' in the un-named city.
