Weird happenings in Dark Astoria

Posted

Hello all!

I had an odd night last night ...

(Warning: there may be spoiler-ish info below ...

...

so

...

If you haven't actually run the new Dark Astoria arcs look away

Just look away)



First, during the 'Defeat Tub Ci & recover the Godslayer Sword' mission from the Dream Doctor I fell trough the floor in the final room.


That's Tub Ci & his Ancestor Spirit guards up there (all of whom I could still attack ... so ... actually kind of handy.)


The room goes down a loooooong way & has this at the bottom ... odd, but kind of interesting none the less.

After I defeated his guards & damaged Tub Ci to the point where he powers up, he went nuts trying to get to me ... and wound up stuck over the ceiling ... -sigh- ... So, after a GM arrived & tossed me up into the ceiling as well & I finally defeated Tub Ci, I took a look around up there as well.


It goes up a dang long way like that ... just full of cat-walks around an open center.


Later that night, in the finale of the first part of the Dream Doctor's arc, after the cut scene I discovered that Tielekku didn't get eaten after all ... o.o ... an instead stuck around to help fight off the ambushes.

That's me as in Black Dwarf form.

Now, she wouldn't follow me and would always return to her starting position after a fight ... so ... I just pulled the ambush mobs to her. Hey, you've got a Goddess handy, you may as well let her kill stuff.

Apparently she's a Fire/ ? blaster ... Flares & Fireballs like mad ... & she spent most of the time trying to stand back up (which says Blaster like nothing else does.)


And finished ...

Well, it happened again ... on a Peacebringer this time.

I'm thinking that's the key ... after the cut scene ends, a Void Seeker spawns in the middle of the npcs - who immediately turn and annihilate him. That's moving them out of their 'being eaten' spot and thus they don't get 'eaten' and are there for the rest of the mission.


The whole gang was there this time ... the Dream Doctor, Tub Ci, Ajax (who is most definitely not indestructable), Protean, Tielekku and (2)! Sciroccos!


Protean & his 'absorb all your toys' power firing off.


And Finished ... again. :/

Looks like the map for the Abandoned Sewer trial.

And so does this part, except without the red fog.

i was thinking the same thing, kind of odd to use that huge thing for one tiny room though

Did you teleport or get knocked back or anything? I think I found the hole you fell through, but I can't manage to get through it myself.

When I initially fell through the floor I was in Black Dwarf form and was attempting to teleport next to Tub Ci to fire off the Black Dwarf Mire - next thing I know I'm falling (down about 300 yards.) I switch the Dark Nova to fly back up and bump my head on the ceiling/floor - which is just below the walking surface of the original room. I could, in a few spots, get the camera angle just right and see that there was a separate surface that Tub Ci & crew were standing on that was about a cursor height above the surface I was under.

I managed to deliberately jam myself into a hollow console along the wall and then /stuck worked to get me back to the map entrance while I was waiting for a GM to show. Went back to the room to finish with Tub Ci & that's when I found he was 130+yards up above the ceiling - I never could find how he got up there.
