Berserker one shots me and my 3.5k hp thralls in one swing?!

Hello, I wanted to report a bug of some kind that I just experienced in Siptah, me and 2 of my high level thrall were running out near the tower in the center. We ran up on an accursed berserker. I understand that these are pretty tough but the berserker swung its mace and killed me and both of my max level thrall in one hit???
Please tell me this is a bug…

I have almost 1800 armor and both of my thrall were using dragon armor with heavy plates. I’ve fought many of these berserkers and I’ve never experienced one swing it’s mace one time and wipe out 2 of my guys and myself in one swing.

Did these berserkers get buffed or something? Are they stronger than every boss in the game now?
Unreal. So much time spent on everything just to lose it all in a half second. I’m still dumbfounded. How?

If you can look into this please, it would be appreciated. I’m on server 8080 and it happened about 30-40 minutes ago. Bx3 Lazy is my gamer tag.

Devs, please message me on PS5 and I can send you a video of what happened. It has to be bugged or something. My thrall had over 3.5k HP each and they were both at full and near full health. One swing killed all 3 of us like we were naked level 1s

Greetings @Cburchell11b ,

Thank you for reaching out!

It would be a pleasure to contact you through the PlayStation service, however we’re not able to.

Can you, please, share us the video here or through a private message so we can verify the reported behavior?

The dafari seem to have one toon with a hammer. She hits like a truck.

Here is the video, I was able to post it to YouTube from my PS5. How were me and my thrall all killed in a second flat right here?

To be fair it kinda looked like what would happen if a meteor hit you, but I don’t really see a meteor directly on you, there is some explosion just a bit further that looks like an impact effect rather than the spawning from the storm, but no meteor there either.

I know right… some kind of weird flash and then boom, I lose both my thrall in a split second. Weird

the weird part is that if it was a meteor, that should’ve taken out the enemy NPCs as well as far as I know, I don’t remember them having any code to ignore that damage :man_shrugging:

The video was cut off at the most interesting point: the revival of the character with information about the cause of death. Do you remember how this reason was formulated?

I’m afraid to take my thrall out now lol I’ve spent so much time hooking these thrall up to lose them like that you know…

The 2 that I just lost had really good armor and legendary weapons equipped, awesome perks, I dyed their armor. They were badasses. That’s why this bugged me so bad. I could care less about personally dying, it’s the thrall in a split second that bugs me :confused:

I can post a longer one, let me check

It is enough if you report what the game said about the cause of your (character`s) death.

Do you know where it tells me that?

When a character is revived after death, a large announcement about the cause of death appears at the top of the screen.

What’s really weird about it is, I am looking in the event logs and I can see where it’s saying what I’m equipping onto my thrall before jumping to the center and it doesn’t mention a death at all in the event logs.

It also does not mention the deaths of the 2 Accursed Berserker thrall. Event logs shows nothing at all.

No death announcement on screen and no event log showing any of our deaths. The other weird thing is, when I went out there to scoop my inventory, my thralls loot bags were nowhere to be found. And it was saying “your follower has leveled up” on the screen as if they were still alive and gaining experience. But no loot bag at all for my thrall.

It is very strange. Every time my character dies, the information pops up: ‘Your character has died. The cause of death is such and such.’

I think that effect in the back is the bug doing its wing attack. It shouldn’t affect the player outside the dust cloud.

Yeah now that you mention it, I do remember seeing that as well. I didn’t notice it didn’t say anything because of the state of confusion after dying but you’re correct. It didn’t show anything about how I died and no event log death records at all.

Which kind of makes me feel better about this situation, at least I know it was a bug of some kind and not the berserker being completely broken.

The flash of light right before we die is what’s really bizarre. Hopefully the devs can figure out how to fix it.
