Bug Description:
The player’s character and thrall are loaded physically into an area before it’s loaded, causing death. At the volcano, this can be from heatstroke. Coming out of the well, I was attacked and killed by the Skelos cultists whilst the game was still loading, I could hear but not see nor control anything. I’m even playing this from an SSD, me and my friend lost everything. Finding it quite difficult to overlook all of this game’s issues sometimes. Please address this if possible before 3.0, I’m not sure how the volcano section can be completed otherwise.
Enter dragonsmouth cave and exit into the volcano with no heat protection.
The loading screen will persist despite the player character physically loading and taking damage.
Exit the well in the volcano, the same as above will happen, the player will be attacked and take damage until death whilst the loading screen is still happening.
It is not a bug, it’s a fact. Our loading screens are very slow because we play in this console.
On ps5 and pc the loading screens are a few seconds, so they do not suffer our issues. Playstation 4 players must be always prepared and never loose in situations like you said, always ready for everything, here’s some tips.
Complete the volcano…
You kill all the guardians in the ground floor. From the time you kill the first one your timer is counting, you have 14 min and 59 secs until the next respawn, so you better kill them fast. You enter the volcano and run the soonest possible to the boss, time is ticking. Kill the boss, take the recipes and exit at once, it can be done easily in 12 min. Wait the respawn kill them all and enter again to fix obsidian, do not wait… Go to the jhil caves, farm the bat’s for an hour and go back, kill again the ground floor and enter to collect your obsidian. This is the only way, sorry.
Travel to the southern obelisk of jungle…
Never travel alone, always with a thrall because the panthers will crush you.
Always consume ice or spiced food before traveling in volcano and frost keep, unless you wear the redeemed silent legion armor.
When you exit the dungeon of jhebaal sag consume a breathing potion, you might find your self drowned in the lake of Sepermeru.
If you use the passage from north to jungle, do it with a thrall, if not the reptilian skeleton will kill you.
Unfortunately you have to play epic heavy, the invisible mobs from rendering issues are very nusty, so good vitality and the heaviest armor you can, I have over 1.350, I don’t like it but it’s neccecity for now.
Do not expect something to be done with ps4, try to adjust and hope .
Me and a squad member managed to do the dungeon, I put supplies next to it then I left and died, but I killed the enemies and my squad member could leave safely. With an SSD it’s strange, some screens load fast, especially by myself, but that volcano well and if I’m with a another player, it takes long.
Thanks for the good advice with jhebaal sag and other area’s. I always go redeemed legion etc, sometimes a thrall can help but not always with loading screens. Thankfully though since installing on an external SSD, there’s no more invisible enemies or terrible rubber banding.
I’m playing on a PS5. Some times my load screens take so long, that I’ve lost 10% of my health from corruption before I get control of my character again.
Trick I did for WoS is leave a thrall in scouting mode at the base of the temple (where you teleport back in) Just remember to do your business in the well in under 10 minutes and you should be good.
