I finished the game a few days ago. It’s completely and utterly pointless. The cutscene is just your character walking through the cursed wall… that’s it.
If you want to finish the game just press Escape and click Recreate Character. Congratulations, you get the same result without a lame cutscene.
It’s not that harsh. The highlands are actually quite pleasant; I’d be perfectly content to live out the rest of my days in my harem-filled castle with all the exotic shellfish and mead I could ever desire. At least that’s what I’d say if my traps worked.
I had the same problem; there was no altar. I switched from TestLive to Live and joined someone’s dedicated server to see if the altar was there. It was not. So then I switched back to TestLive and the altar appeared on my SP game. I’m assuming Steam redownloading some files fixed the issue.
1.0 had a pretty epic ending too though. Players were standing around waiting to see the world ravaged by Bahamut when the servers finally went down. It was so cool and had a great cutscene.
I’d be perfectly fine with my character in Conan Exiles being deleted if the ending was at least somewhat ‘good’; but it was very disappointing. Worst ending I’ve ever seen in a game, and not because my character was deleted.
I agree except that I think it should also be attainable in SP as long as you never used a mod or gave yourself admin privileges. It would still be the worst ending ever, but at least there would be a reason to go through with it.
