What am I doing wrong in battle of dazar'alor?

I don’t know if this is a bug or me being dumb. I am trying to get gmod, but can’t get past Jadefire Masters. I kill them, and I think the gate is supposed to drop so I can go up the stairs and proceed. It doesn’t though, and when I finally hearth out, I get a Grong has been defeated message when I zone into the inn. It doesn’t matter what toon I play, or what difficulty, this happens. What is happening?

I don’t think you are doing anything wrong. When I did it for GMOD it worked as you describe, I killed them and was simply able to proceed.

Thanks for the reply. I have even tried resetting the instance but no luck.

Weird question, but are you killing them super fast before the little path you have to follow pops up? And are you taking the one orb over to the wall and putting it in the middle, then killing the wall before killing them?

Only asking this because I’ve done it a few times recently. First time I “killed” one of them, then the path and wall popped up and I grabbed and orb, put it in the middle, killed the wall then was able to kill them both completely.
Second time I did it, I killed them way too fast and it glitched, one of them kneeled, the other went behind the wall, the path popped up, but no orbs to take over to the wall to destroy it. I eventually had to remove gear and stand in the spinning fire things for a VERY long time so it would kill me so I could reset and try again, lol.

If you aren’t having the same issue, than I’m sorry and I have no idea. Good luck!

I forget. Is the path to go right after killing them? Are you trying to go straight?

This fight can glitch, tho I don’t think I’ve had it happen as often described in your post. My best outcome is killing them at the same time.
Middle outcome on Mythic is to kill Monk and often the flamecaster is just standing there (no rings come up)
other middle outcome is orbs appear and you can take it to the end
worst outcome (needs reset) is if they go behind barrier with 1 injured and no orbs appear

Up the stairs and open the doors to the kings room in Horde.

Up stairs to face Revenant Grong as Alliance.

I wondered if they were dying too fast so I waited for the path to pop up and then took down the barrier before killing them. I dunno, maybe I should just go in and die and try again?

Ah ok, I’m not sure then. Lots of old dungeons and raid glitch and don’t get fixed for years, if ever.

In Necrotic Wake my directional movements get messed up with the second boss, every single time. I have to log out and back in for it to reset.

Good luck figuring it out!!

I’ve tried to relog. Nada. I’m also wondering if the Grong has been defeated text I get after hearthing has something to do with it. That’s not even the right boss.

Couple of things to confirm:

  • After they die are they dropping loot?
  • Are you sure you’re not confusing the barrier for going up the temple? You may actually be unlocking the gate in front and confusing the direction that alliance normally goes.

That has happened to me many times in different raids/dungeons. Defeat something, don’t get the pop up saying they are defeated until you leave or move to the next boss. Just another goofy glitch, I believe. Who knows lol

They do drop loot.
The little gate that blocks the steps up (where they spawn in) is where I think I am supposed to go. To confirm watched a video and that looks like the right spot, except the gate stays up for me.

Roger, yea that’s a weird one. Was just seeing if there was anything else.

If you go out and leave the lockout as is (no resetting) does walking back in do anything for the gates?

I’ll try that. I’ll also go in and let boss kill me while I’m at it.

didn’t work.:frowning:

I’m pretty sure I’ve had this happen to me too (a while ago before this event), but for the life of me I can’t remember what I did to resolve it.

I do know that sometimes these sorts of “barrier-open script failed to trigger” bugs resolve themselves if you log out and back in.

Yeah logging doesn’t help. This has been going on 2 days now.

Maybe the weekly reset will fix it…

That is very odd (I haven’t run into any problems during any of my runs during this event, though I got GMOD fairly quickly and afterwards was just using the skip to the end).

Yeah looks like GMOD won’t be happening for me. I can’t complain I have gotten some nice mounts. Just a bit frustrated I can’t at least try for this one.

Do you know a class/race/difficulty you used handy? I’d be willing to go back and try another run to try to duplicate your conditions and see if any other ideas occur to me (since I don’t remember the geometry of the area well off the top of my head)?

Thank you for the offer but not necessary. I think I’m just glitched. Ive used multiple toons on different difficulties (LFG and mythic). I used a tauren hunter, mag’har orc hunter, highmountain tauren warrior, and I can’t remember if I tried on my dracthyr warrior or not. There might be others but I’ve run a lot of stuff mount farming so its sort of a blur. I guess I’ll try my forsaken dk next, lol. I know I haven’t logged him in yet this week.
