Can't complete one of Merlin's Trials

[SebSenseGreen]

I tried to do the trial where you have to make a ball roll down a slope to a hole near the shore. I got the ball in the hole but the ball just disappeared and I can't complete the trial now. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

it spawns again when you go far away and do a quest meanwhile

Nope, this happened to me a long time ago... I just flew across it again today and checked on it. The ball is still gone and the trial not completed.

okay that must be a bug. mine resetet every time. its common that these balls get lost or fly away and all the other players got it resetet too

Did you try saving the game while actually standing next to that trial vs. flying over it at distance, then exiting/reloading the game, and maybe also going away/coming back afterwards on top?

Wow, that actually worked!
Thanks a lot.

The stupid stone balls are always ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screwed up. Had mine not react to the accio spell so I had to blast it with a wand for over half an hour to get it down the cliff...another 30 minutes to blast it into the depression to complete the trial...some of these bugs are just game ruining bad...

Have you tried Wingardium Leviosa? I think it works on the stone balls (not 100% sure if I remember that correctly, though).

I tried leviosa, it didn't move at ALL with it. Accio made it budge slightly, moved for like 3 seconds and then became stuck in the environment again. It's not a matter of spell...the game is bugged to hell when it comes to those balls and collision.

Do not have Wingardium, just leviosa and it did not work on this ball. Accio is the only thing that made it budge before it got stuck in a new spot.

Depulso should work as well, that's what I used before I got Wingardium.

Sometimes it's better to skip trials until you get more spells. I learned that when I tried to complete one of the "descending fire bowls" time trials with just Incendio. ;)

Lmao I have completed a few with just incendio and my.....close calls, always.

But what gets me is that accio works, the ball clearly seems to get stuck on the environment even though nothing is present. The same happens to my character, just running in place for no reason.

I have the quest, I'll get WL before I continue.

Thank you!

Bless you seriously, this method worked to fix one of the flip block trials that was bugged for me, it was the last one I needed and I’ve been trying to get it to work for months. Just stood directly on the stone circle, saved, and it worked immediately.
