Impossible to complete Nightfall Sanctum delve & cannot rez if dead

Issue 1.
So I was relaxing and doing Night Sanctum (delve) which by the way is quite enjoyable until I got to the last boss. Somehow, killing said boss did not complete the delve and he would just respawn infinitely. I assume this may be because I kill him too quick and don’t let him change form.

Issue 2.
I figured dying might fix the issue and it was worth giving it a shot. I ended up being in a position where I was dead and could not respawn as the option was greyed out as if I was still in active combat with the boss.

Fix attempts:

  • Leaving delve was not possible while being dead.
  • Time did not fix the issue.
  • Logging off for more than 30min and logging back on did not fix the issue.
  • Stuck character service moved my character to the last respawn point within the delve, but I remained dead and unable to rez.

Fix:

  • A GM had to manually move me to Orgrimmar to fix the issue.

EDIT
After investigating, when the boss dies, a second phase starts as suspected. I you stay in the boss area (boat), that 2nd phase never starts and it simply restarts the fight, but if you move away from the boat, the 2nd phase starts as expected. It looks like some kind of weird player detection/aggro issue.

I had the same issue, I could not rez after dieing in the delve and could not leave delve via menu. I open the Character is stuck support page.

Fix for the boss issue at least. If you can do it in a party and one of you can solo the boss. Just have the person Brann is leashed to stand at the bottom of the stairs out of the fight. Buddy killed him and the second phase started. Ran up and helped him kill the second boss and we finished it.

Found this thread because I was having the same issue. Surely this isn’t the way it’s intended, but I managed to solo it. Once the first guy got to ~10% health, I made sure to hit with VERY light attacks, then at ~5%, turned my back and took my focus off him, then walked slightly away, staying in the main center area of the boat. If he has a DoT on him, it won’t start the second phase. It then came up with a ~5 second timer, and started the second phase in the main area of the boat.

I am having this same issue…

  1. Kill Speaker Davenruth
  2. Reformed Fury (the quest objective to end the Delve) spawns and immediately despawns preventing you from finishing the Delve

I tried the workaround immediately above, but was unable to get this to work with just me and Brann.

Edit: I just finally got this to work by changing Brann’s role from Damage to Healer. That definitely seems like a bug; should work regardless of role, but clearly something is despawning the Fury (seems like the traps he drops as Damage).

Ah I didn’t think to change him to healer, I just let him die & then he’s concussed for 30 seconds, then I solo’d the rest :rofl:

Wish I saw this a couple mins ago. Now I’m stuck dead and unable to release :confused:

same issue rn, dead, cant rez, character unstuck did same as above and just teleported me to the closest respawn point, waiting did nothing, logout did nothing, waiting on trying to get a ticket

THANK YOU!! This is finally what worked for me. I tried everything else and was so frustrated that this was the last delve I needed to do them all.

thanks for another buggy delve on launch.

No dice for me, unfortunately.

I ended up just having to leave the delve. Will come back to it later…

cleared all the trash, tried to change the roles of brand, did everything possible. no luck.

Switching Brann from DPS to Healer worked for me. The secondary boss spawned as it should.

i just got brann killed during the fight and the transition worked fine.

I just died at the end of Nightfall Sanctum. I had to wait the full 6 minutes before the game respawned me at the stone inside the delve. I guess Great Kyros was fighting (ineffectually) the two cultists at the end, and that kept me in combat.
