Fallen Temple capstone: Respawn/Barrier issue

Fallen Temple (lvl 70+ capstone dungeon)
Died in the Cursed Halls. I was then respawned behind the barrier inside of the Cathedral of Flesh. It being my first time - I cleared the Cath of Flesh. No animus from the carriers. Tele’d out and walked back in. Cleared the “initial” two zones opening the barrier and then found out none of the mobs respawned, nor was the animus considered filled. A near completed dungeon run with no advancement.
Seems we just need to make sure we’re not spawning players behind locked zones.
This was my first experience trying to break into the T4 world - so yeah, this is a REAL bummer after I spent 30 minutes hammering my head against this place just to find a really generic bug that should have zero chance of existing.
-upon further play- the chamber featuring Trial of the Indolent drops two Stone Carving for the entrance altar.

I also experienced this bug and did the same thing killing all of the animus carriers so the dungeon could not be completed. I died to the first group of mobs in the Cursed Halls and the checkpoint for respawn was just on the other side of the barrier for the Trial of the Indolent. I could not get back into the Antechamber of the Damned to continue without exiting the dungeon.

As a workaround, you can exit the dungeon and re-enter from the world map to progress.

I had this same issue occur with multiple attempts (my fault for trying to clear level 70 content when I’m under 65). Died to the first few mob packs/elites and end up respawning inside the cathedral of flesh. I thought it was a mechanic and that clearing the section out would unlock the main path. Only on my most recent run where I fully cleared the dungeon, recalled to the start, and then successfully cleared the rest did I learn it wasn’t the case.

  • side bug in the player’s favor: the stacking debuffs from clearing the first two sections can be permanently removed by returning town and then continuing.

Same issue here.
I died while starting the second path, in the Gluttonous Chapel, respawned on the opposite side of the barrier, where I’d have to obtain Animus. I proceeded to clear that area, but noticed the animus chalice at the end, so I teleported outside, cleared the previous area, Gluttonous Chapel, got the Stone to clear the barrier, went back into the third area, but as the monsters were already dead, I could not obtain the animus. Game over.

Same Issue…is this a bug or a “feature”. If it is a feature, suggest telling players…“you have failed”…np …run it again. But it is now late August and this bug is not resolved on a Major Dungeon for the game. Disappointed …been defending Blizzard against all the hate but this seems like laziness not to resolve this…smh.
