Halls of Lightning Beta bugged

There’s a tentacle right near where you “summon” Beta mode and it aggroes. On top of that, you can’t kill it. Its health goes to zero and it doesn’t die and then people eventually go insane.

Pull the first two regular trash mobs into combat with it. You need to stack up the damage increasing buff to max stacks, and only then you’ll be able to kill the tentacle.

I thought that might be the trick to kill it, but we tried 3x and disbanded.

Good to know for next time. No bug report needed, as Corpsetwo answered. :slight_smile:

You also lose 1 sanity per attack on the tentacle, so its better to hold off on attacking altogether until you have 100 stacks of the buff.

LOL you actually wiped three times then disbanded and no one understood how the mechanic worked… Wow.

We knew the mechanic, but there was a tentacle in the first room where you walk in with no mobs around it. The first set of mobs was at the ramp.

I did it again today and that tentacle wasn’t there.

Just did it, the tentacle was there and it does bug out and get stuck at 1 HP if you don’t pull the mobs behind it.

You probably need to stop attacking to not go insane on that one. You regain 20 sanity points every 10 seconds or so if you stop attacking.

Wait, they weren’t pulling those two mobs??? thought that was a given…

You mean the one that’s 2 steps away from 2 extra mobs…

Yeah just make sure the tank grabs the two mobs that are after the tentacle and brings them to the tentacle. You will likely have to stop attacking to regain some sanity depending on the pull but thats the only tentacle youll have to do that for

I mean it’s not hard, but the tentacle still shouldn’t bug out if they’re not pulled.

Sure… but even if it does, you’re right at the entrance… can just zone out and reset.
Never had it bug out before though.

If the tent is aggroed, you will lose sanity for any attacks on any mob… I was losing sanity trying to raise the buff count on the trash mobs at the entrance is how I found that out.
If you are a swift attacker (like my Enh shammy), you are forced to stop attacking to regain sanity.
Really don’t know why they didn’t put the tent BEHIND the first two mobs… it’s the only bad placement. The rest are doable without having to turn attack off.

LoL first time I did HoL with H++ so just bad luck I guess, it’s not that we needed to reset we had the tentacle dead it just bugged at 1 HP until we pulled the next pack. Which is stupid.

Agreed… really stupid. Hopefully that bug gets fixed.

Not a bug.

At least 1 party member needs 100 stacks to get the titan buffs to be able to kill it.

And does it become a bug when you’re at a 100 stack and it’s not dying?

Also obviously killing it starting with no buff you’ll be at 100 stacks by the end.

Nope, the mechanic kills them when they move from above 2% to 1%. So if its already at 1% it doesnt die when you get the buff.

Slow down dps and you will be fine.
