So far I’ve encountered two seperate issues that is bricking my progression for Escalation dungeons and thus causing me to waste keys. This can also happen directly after the Astaroth fight and results in you being booted out of the dungeon before you can even start picking up loot. And considering some loot I need for this particular character build is locked to Astaroth, this causes some mild frustration.
Bug 1 : Upon completing a dungeon during the escalation run, defeating the boss will sometimes teleport me directly to the overworld in a random location. Not even a hub - I have had it drop me in an open field, in the middle of a helltide, etc. My return portal is gone and I can no longer access the Dungeon series. This results in a waste of the key and a majority of whatever loot was dropped.
Bug 2 : Upon killing a boss during the escalation dungeon series, the boss will die, I will get the dungeon completed rewards, but no portal leading to the next dungeon appears. This, as you can guess, results in that escalation dungeon key being wasted. It is also very frustrating. Especially when it occurs during the last dungeon before the big boss we’re doing these escalations for in the first place.
