gilt-kutabe Posted January 1 Report Posted January 1 Spoilers for 1.20 content. I’ve gotten to the tower in the wasteland, and need the item in the top floor. I’m assuming I need to kill the boss to get it, but it seems to be behaving strangely. At the beginning of the fight, it would charge me and try to knock me off the tower, and shoot its feathers at me. After that, it just circled around the tower for several minutes while I shot at it. I got it down by about 5 bars before running out of arrows (I’m NOT going to throw my spears at it…), and waited a few minutes to see if it would come after me. I’m assuming the game doesn’t expect me to have multiple stacks of arrows to take it down. It didn’t. I used the timeswap ability twice to see if that would get it to aggro again, but it just flew off. I still can’t pick up the item. I’ve tried reloading the world as well. What do I need to do to get past this part? Do I need to chase the boss down, or is it bugging out? 1
LadyWYT Posted January 1 Report Posted January 1 The good news is that you do not need to kill the Mad Crow to complete this segment of the adventure; you need only damage it enough to make it fly away(about half/two-thirds health remaining, approximately). Once it flies away, you'll be able to take the Lens from its socket and bring it to the next location. If you run out of arrows during the fight, you can use the small quills that the Crow occasionally fires at the platform in place of arrows(I think they may actually be more effective than most arrows, though I'm not sure). Likewise, you can throw the larger quills like spears. The easiest time to shoot at the Crow is when it swoops in for an attack, though you'll want to use your Time Swap ability to avoid actually getting hit. Timing is crucial here, as you can't be attacked by the Crow while in the past, but you can't attack the Crow either. The other thing to be wary of is shivers spawning on the boss's platform; much like the Eidolon in the Archive, the Crow will start spawning minor opponents once it hits low enough health. For gear, I recommend steel chain armor, with a glider, and resetting your spawn. You could probably get by with iron gear, but most of the enemies in this area are tier 3, so steel will make for a bit of an easier time, if one has access to it. Chain will allow you to retain more ranged accuracy. As for the glider, it'll help prevent deaths from failing parkour or getting knocked off the tower(which has a high chance of occurring given current knockback settings). Full disclosure, I finished this fight mostly in creative mode, as it was late and I wanted to finish the story before going to bed. However, I played enough of it in survival to figure out how the mechanics are generally supposed to be handled. 9 hours ago, gilt-kutabe said: I used the timeswap ability twice to see if that would get it to aggro again, but it just flew off.

If you've damaged it enough to get it to fly off, and still can't pick up the item, it sounds like it may be bugged. Can you still see the Crow's healthbar? You may need to pop into creative mode and chase it down, if it's still flying around the tower area but not attacking you. You could try just breaking the item and giving yourself a Lens via creative, but I'm not sure that doing this will actually advance the next part of the story. In any case, if you've gotten the Crow to fly away, you're supposed to be able to retrieve the Lens with a simple right-click. If that's not happening, then it sounds like something bugged out somewhere. Hopefully one of the above options can fix it, if that's the case. The only other idea I have, outside of starting a new world and cheating a bit to get back to that point in the story, is attempting to use console commands to reset the entire Devastation area in the hopes of just redoing that particular segment. 2
Vratislav Posted January 1 Report Posted January 1 It seems similar to my issue with the Crow ( that it may disappear too soon ). You can find some hints how we dealt with it in this thread: 1
