Tolkas Arena Bugs

[Utvara]

Currently I'm doign a NG+ run, final dungeon and final boss left (lvl 30 party, Garrison, Knolan and Alumon). I did a full Arena run at level 25 (3.700+ points), but I didn't get any of the top rewards, even though the Arena progress screen says "100%" and every reward has a check mark.

That means I can't craft the legendary weapon for Garrison (Desecrated Soul Shard of the Powerful is missing, among other things), which is a huge letdown, especially considering I've had no such problems on my previous run. I've really wanted to test the limits of Garrison's damage, but it seems that is out of the picture, makes me want to stop playing altogether.

Is there any way to reset Arena progress or to claim the items in some other way (spawn them with commands/codes)?

I've seen many people reporting Arena freeze on Endless, happens to me as well, just throwing that in as well.

Cheers.

Hey, Kimmuriel,

What platform are you playing on? Is this your first New Game Plus run?

Try rerunning the Tolkas arena, kill one enemy and wipe the party. We put in a sanity check that makes sure if you haven't gotten the rewards you're supposed to, it'll award you your missing items based on your highest points achieved.

Hello and thank you for replying!

I play it on a PC (Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Service Pack 1). Yes, this is my first NG+ run, I've invested about 90 hours into the game so far.

Went to lvl 25 Arena - killed 1 enemy - let my party get killed - nothing happened. Everything is the same as it was, I can provide screenshots if needed. (Took me about 15 mins lol, but at least now I know how the defeat screen looks like. :P) Any other ideas?

----------------------------------------------------

Now that I have your attention, I would like to suggest some quality of life improvements. The game blew my mind, it's one of the most underrated games out there, I've played it „in one breath“, like a was a child again – can't remember the last time I've had that feeling. Thank you for making such a great game, I've recommended it to a bunch of people and I sincerely hope there will be an expansion or BC 2.

Problems and suggestions:
• When using alternative skins for party members, their portraits still have the default look (some parts of some burst animations for Red Monika have the same „issue“).
• An option to hold a button during a burst ability should be added to skip the animation.
• Overworld movement should be a bit faster, maybe players could unlock that option after finishing the game for the first time.
• The world map should include icons for shrines or give players the option to create a note.
• There should be an option to instantly resolve a fight, those single lvl 30 spiders aren't exactly a thrill to kill.
• The victory/exp/loot screen should be merged in one single screen which gives all the info at the same time.
• There should be an option to disable cutscenes altogether (dialogue pop ups as well) - try killing the final boss 30-40 times in a row, you'll know what I mean. I understand most people don't play the game this way...
• There should be a higher mob variety, too many spiders, slimes and bats.
• The best part of the game (for me) was fighting bosses, so it would be cool to have a boss-only Arena mode (endless).
• Legendary artifacts are cool, but once you get them, the hunt is over and no other weapons will be interesting ever again. I think it would be cool to have, for example: 2-3 different Garrison swords, each is level 30, obtainable in very specific conditions, can be of green-orange quality; each of the swords has a unique ability which in some way relates to Garrison's perks (Swordsman, Wanderer, Hybrid). It would add a new layer on perk builds, a cool/unique ability seen nowhere else – much more fun than just having one best weapon with overpowered flat stats. Similar logic could be applied to enchants, jewelry and armor.
• When revisiting low level dungeons with high level characters, mobs still chase the party and engage in combat. There should be a way to skip them, because it can become very tedious and annoying when farming achis and doing other end game content (perhaps, add an obtainable item which enables the players to wraith-walk through low level mobs, or make them skippable like on the overworld...). This is my biggest complaint about the game, the only part of it that felt really bad.
• The crafting system is interesting (being able to craft orange items!), but I found it to be not very useful before reaching end game – sure, you can afford some enchants here and there, but it seems to me like it fails to keep up with the player or vice versa. We'd have to farm low level mats and gold to craft items, but it is better just to go to the next dungeon, play it on Mythic and hope something better drops.
• Very subjective: the game was too easy, especially the last boss. Knolan's looks seem a bit out of place or underwhelming, compared to other characters (both skins).

Just to give a few more words of praise, to end on a positive note: absolutely gorgeous art and combat animations; amazing soundtrack and great atmosphere; wonderful character development system with equipment, perks, overcharge, large number of individual skills; the combat is very fluid and satisfying - I'll never get tired of Rage Wave II...

Sorry for the extremely long post, but I felt the need for it because I genuinely care about the game and want to see it become as good as it can possibly get.

ok i just experienced this bug as well. i am running a normal game (not NG+), and i cleared the arena with a score of 3458, however all the top rewards, even though they are checked, are not awarded to me. I am running the same party line-up with thread starter (Alumon, knolan and garrison, coincidence?)

As per advise from orizgames, i tried to kill one wave and let my party die. but it did not fix the problem. please help! i really want to get the arena rewards since they look very crucial to my advancement.

One more detail about the bug: even though i cleared the arena with score of 3458, the screen immediately after i cleared showing how many bosses i killed and the multipliers only show that i have a score of 1800+. i guess this is the cause of the bug. is there any other way to get the reward?
