LVL 45 Garuda bug

[Isalon]

I keep beating the snot out of her in the arena and she keeps disappearing. No prompts to do anything else, nothing - what's going on here?

Mods that change summons can interfere with this fight and make it unwinnable. Garuda (another Garuda, FF15 version) is required to beat FF14 Garuda 1st time. If you dont have any mods try verifying game files through Steam.

Thanks for the feedback, I verified files through Steam before coming here.
Honestly, I don't know what the fix was, but I got it.

For anyone else experiencing this:
- This was NOT the Quest line for Garuda, this was one of the two "farmable" Garuda bosses AFTER the Quest line. (There is Hard at level 45, and Extreme at level 120.) This was the level 45.
- I was high enough level to beat the snot out of her at the level 45 challenge. So literally the only thing I did differently, was when she was getting to the point (about 1/4 down) where she "disappeared" from the arena and never came back, I just activated Armiger and kept beating the snot out of her.
- I can only presume the fight is scripted, and somehow I was killing her too quickly, which was causing her to disappear and never return. Rather than back off, I accelerated my murder spree at the right time, and that did the trick.

Best of luck to anyone else having this issue.
