WHERE is the rest of the ANIMUS?!

PC Bug Report
1

Problem

Sometimes the animus mechanic isn’t providing enough animus to finish a dungeon (this doesn’t happen all the time but it has happened to me more times than I can remember). It appears to happen randomly and doesn’t seem to be associated to one specific dungeon.

Update

  1. I re-ran this dungeon a few hours later and there was enough animus to complete it. Something to note is this doesn’t happen all the time, however, I noticed the map sizes to be quite a bit in size, so I’m guessing the mechanic that spawns the animus elite’s occasionally fails due to map constraints (not having enough room to fully execute).

Info

I’m currently standing inside of the Oldstones dungeon located inside of Scosglen where I’m missing just a little bit of animus that is preventing me from reaching the final boss.

I have ran from the very start of the dungeon to the very end 5 times now to see if I missed any monsters (I didn’t they’re all dead) and I have looked on my mini-map + regular map for blue animus orbs, and there are none left to gather.

There is no part of the dungeon that I haven’t uncovered, and this is actually a pretty good example of this issue because the dungeon I am in (specifically the animus section of the dungeon) is very linear, it’s almost a straight line and there are no places undiscovered.

Documentation

Note: It wouldn’t allow me to post links, so you’ll have to copy paste the url and then remove the (dot) and replace it with a literal .

Video

  • I did a screen-capture of the entire dungeon from start to finish and uploaded it to YouTube:

Thank you for letting us know!

Hopefully the DEVs come across this thread.

Currently having this issue with the putrid aquifer dongeon for grim favors both on pc and ps4

This is STILL an issue.

I suspect Blizzard has Animus Keepers spawn on a placeholder that can also spawn other elites like Butcher and maybe some others. I know one dungeon I was short on Animus contained a Butcher and I suspect he replaced an Animus Keeper.

same issue in betrayers row patch 1.1.2 this is my first forum post so sorry if this is the wrong place blizzard are you able to add more animus carriers to the dungeon so even if one does bug out the quest is still able to progress

I just played it as a grim rewards and I’m missing one animus boss to got to the end, so no 5 grim rewards.

I just had this problem with the Oldstones dungeon as well. I noticed something I did that might’ve caused the problem. I was going from the 1st section into the 2nd section (animus carriers). I got swarmed a bit right at the start, so I retreated back into the 1st section. One of the Animus Carriers came with me, where I killed it in the 1st (non-animus) area. No animus dropped. I then cleared out the rest of the dungeon completely, but just short of enough animus to open the gate to the final boss chamber. Not sure if this is Working As Intended™ or a bug.

Insufficient animus bug still happening in season 3 in different dungeons. They should just remove animus collection altogether.

3/9/24 - Underground Thicket - Old Stones

This is my first encounter of this issue. I went back through every square centimeter to look for something to kill. Google to find that this has been an issue for a while now. What a waste of time. Fix it or remove it. Why waste people’s time? Blizzard has fallen and should remove the name. Blizzard no longer means quality games. See Warcraft Rumble a game that has horrible design and conveyance. Why should people google how to play your game. The game should inform the player not YouTube and Google.

I can’t even finish the Fallen Temple to get to T4 because of this bug

13

How is this still happening in 2024 when bug was known months ago!!! Fix this please!!!

14

Still happening. What a waste of time and money. If you can’t complete the game, why even play? If “the devs” cared, they would have fixxed it last year. Blizzard sucks as if today.

15

This needs to be changed to collect >80% of animus.

16

Still an issue at fallen temple

17

The issue is still there. It happened to me in the Hallowed Ossuary today.
Must be a very complicated problem. The devs can’t seem to have figured out a solution in the past one year or they don’t care.
