This offers no purpose to the original question at hand, other than being a Gotcha andy… LMAO
Which one? The part where I answer the question about why the Aegis of Aggramar was already active w.r.t the raid progression or the other part. Also why are you replying to a 4 month old comment?
FWIW to the original topic, I’ve only seen this bug once but it was after a fairly slow kill of Goroth on an undergeared alt during Shadowlands. It seemed to have no rhyme or reason back then.
For the folks who can’t get into Demonic Inquisition, I just figured it out. Watch Atrigan at the top of the stairs – he runs into his room and closes the door, but after Goroth has appeared. If you kill Goroth before the door closes, it never opens again. So basically, just slow down a few seconds lol.
I have a solution to this:
If the door that leads to “Demonic Inquisitor” is locked after you defeated/nuked Goroth (and probably all other bosses):
- Leave the raid
- Open the Dungeon Finder Menu
- Click on “Premade Groups” and create a group
- Enter the raid
- Door is still locked
- DELIST THE GROUP
- Door will open
This workaround will unbrick MANY situations. I first found this while doing the “Only the Penitent” achievement in Firelands solo and noticed that this will respawn the orbs if failed that try. Give it a shot if this happens to you
you can’t get into the bosses behind the door (the ones with the hammer) until you’ve killed everyone else. They were literally supposed to be done BEFORE dropping down to the maiden.
This fixed the issue of the demonic inquisition doors not opening! Thanks homie
If this was ever an intent from Blizzard, it’s the first I’ve heard of it. The door has always opened after Goroth dies and did so at ToS launch.
This works, and does indeed open the door. I had the issue on Heroic.
Bumping this here ^
This fix will also open up the doors to the Sisters/Desolate Host room if they are bugged. I was doing Mythic ToS, and forgot to drop the item after kill Host, jumped off the edge to get back to the main room, and then couldn’t get back to the room to drop the item to continue the raid. Doing this fixed the door bug!
had similiar issue, but i think mines cause i touchd a soul font after killing desolate host couldnt interact with anything after that. killed myself to respawn in lobby, couldnt interact with npcs or attack anything. tried walking out of raid, couldnt go through the instance portal. had to hearth back to dalaran and run back in
Log out and then log back in
This worked for me thank you. 4 years after
the OG post and blizzard still cant fix it.
I would say it might be a hard thing to do. Because there are a lot of bosses that have slow moving doors that close once you pull the boss or when a scripted event ends, such as the one when Goroth spawns. However if you kill the boss before those doors close, it will glitch out. I know I had something like this in a HFC run I did a few years back where I killed Soc before the doors closed, locking me from progressing to Tyrant. My guess is that the game glitches out as the trigger for reopening the doors fails load as the doors were not closed beforehand.
My exact thoughts - I guess the prior event is still running its script and you already activated the new, which wont trigger because the game object is still occupied by the first event.
still broken. Got the tears of elune and the tidestone, unable to continue. Relogging and lfg fix did not work for me.
