Sparkplug04 Posted October 12, 2025 Report Posted October 12, 2025 Hi all. Got done with Chapter 2 today, but... I'll admit, something weird happened in the Devastation. Erel descended upon me without a healthbar popping up. I thought it was a pre-fight kind of thing to introduce her, but next thing you know, she got stuck on some blocks and I shot her until she finally flew away. When I got to the top of the tower, she... wasn't there. Apparently that managed to one-cycle her without any warning, and honestly it was really disappointing (especially right after a very nasty second death to genuine BS when timeswitching near the final ladder) Anyone else dealt with that, or did I just get a catastrophically bad first impression of Chapter 2's climax by sheer misfortune?

Unfortunately, yes. That fight should happen at the top of the tower.

She can attack at any time in the Devastation, though as @Maelstrom says the true fight is supposed to happen at the top of the Tower. If you're not near the Tower, or not yet at the top, she will just do the occasional divebomb. I will note though that there have been issues with this boss actually showing up to the arena, however, I think those have been fixed. If the boss got stuck on blocks though, I would screenshot the exact portion and go report it on the github bug tracker, as I doubt that's intended.

Apparently that managed to one-cycle her without any warning, and honestly it was really disappointing (especially right after a very nasty second death to genuine BS when timeswitching near the final ladder) I'm posting the rest under spoilers: Spoiler The way the fight is supposed to go is that Erel will fully engage the player once they reach the top of the Tower. This boss does not need to be killed, just damaged enough for her to fly away. Once she has flown away, the Lens will be retrievable. From the sounds of it, you managed to damage her enough for her to fly away before you reached the Tower's apex, thanks to her getting stuck, so the actual fight shouldn't be necessary. Kinda sucks, but you should be able to retrieve the Lens and complete the quest. You could also try resetting the Devastation area via command(not entirely sure of the exact command to do so), and that might reset the fight so you can try to do it for reals(assuming you don't want to just save it for another playthrough). 1

Definitely a bit late for some of this... I already completed Chapter 2, but I'll consider it. If I can find the spot again, I'll try to catch the blip she was stuck on, but it's been a few days now. Already back home in the game. 1

Mindful may not be a good enough waring. "ACHTUNG! DANGER! CAUTION! This command will nukes anything including your elk." 2
