Thread: Bug in instance: A Relic in Lumul-Nar (Solo)??

Just curious if anyone is encountering something similar. I have done this instance four times and when I finished aligning all the mirrors to defeat Ergoth, Ergoth never shows up. I jump to the platform where she is supposed to be and she never appears. Anyone else having this problem? Does it work for the group version of the instance?

I don't remember having to fight Ergoth in the solo version. I think the only thing you need to do in the solo version is to destroy the relic thing.

(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)

If you're trying to complete the regular Mirror Halls quests, you won't be able to do them all in the solo version. The solo version was simply added so that one can progress beyond that point in the Epic quest. You'll still need to do the three man version to clear most, if not all, of the other optional quests.

I encountered the same problem, but on the second try, after logging out and leaving the instance and redoing it all from the start, Ergoth appeared so I could kill her and finish the instance.
In the group version it is apparently not necessary to kill Ergoth, it suffices to destroy the relic, so if you can find a group you might try doing that version.
(And just for the record: In the solo version you need to both destroy the relic and kill Ergoth.)

Yes, this is almost 'normal'. I had to repeat the instance several times before Ergoth showed up. A few days before I did the quest with another char and had no problem.

Yep. Standing on the mirror after over an hour of questing. No Ergoth.

I'm not happy.

ok, got it solved through ticket, but some wait. So ok for me.

I actually encountered a different problem in that instance a few days ago ... I was taking maybe my fifth alt through it and had just arrived on the platform before Ergoth (where one light beam from each side needs to hit the lens to open the net below). I had my trusty printout, which had already served me well for at least four other runs, and according to it, the mirrors were correctly aligned. There was a beam coming from each side of the platform, meeting above the lens. I had cleared away the task mistress and all the defilers. The net did not open.

I must have stayed in that instance for half an hour, killing task mistresses and defilers, checking and, if necessary, realigning mirrors...in the end, I had to get help from a GM to port me down to Ergoth. At that moment, I found this to be a rather strange occurence.

(Of course, later on, me and some kinnies ran BG ... but that's another thing entirely. )

I experienced the same bug today.

Very disappointed that these instances are not working years after roll-out. (Had similar problems with different epic instances recently.)

I have the same problem as Rimlegwen is describing, with the net not disappearing after all mirrors are alligned perfectly. Been waiting 4 hours for an answer to my trouble ticket so far. I have tried re-entering the instance, resetting the instance, logging off multiple times, it doesnt matter what I do, i get stuck at the same spot over and over again.


Since RoR has launched, the bugs, especially in old epic quests like this one, have really gotten out of hand.

Within the last 2 weeks alone, I have encountered the following bugs:

Volume II Epilogue: Zigilbuk returned. The Quest where you run back to that cave instance you had to clear through earlier in the epic story, talking to like 20 different dwarves in a chain-quest. 1 of them just did not spawn, so i had to cancel the instance.

Volume II Quest, Storyline quest where you play as a dwarf champion and you have to clear through 1000s or orcs and do battle worthy of song => got stuck 2 times at the same spot and had to restart the instance to get it to work on 3rd attempt

Volume II Book 9, where you gotta talk to some elves before travelling to mirkwood the first time, 1 of them just didnt spawn, had to restart the instance for him to spawn correctly

this is just from the top of my head and from the last 2 weeks, theres plenty more

Did you make sure all of the mobs were dead? If you let some live, they'll recover/realign the mirrors.

Yeah. I made sure. Also the mobs do not reallign the mirrors, they merely cover them up with some dark goo. Regardless, I have had 4 perfect beams lighting to the middle lens, and nothign happened. There´s actually 2 ways of completing the mirror challenge, and both of them failed.

After 6 hours waiting on a response from the GM team, some awesome dude helped me run the group version of the quest, so i could move on in the epic story. Thanks again Tiago !!

Out of curiosity i started the same quest with another character, ran through it without problems and the net disappered on the first attempt, same as in the group version i did prior to it.

If it wasn´t for pure luck in finding someone who helped me, I´d still be sitting there waiting for a GM response, haven´t even gotten an update or anything yet on any of the 3 trouble tickets I have opened about instance bugs this entire month.

I've seen that some people submitted tickets and got help with this. I submitted a ticket and was told that they couldn't do anything and that I should submit a bug report instead.

I've attempted this quest three times, all with the same result... No Boss at the end. So, no biggie, I skipped it and moved on. Quite some time later, in Vol III, I ran into another bugged epic quest (the name slips my mind atm, but it's out of Echad Eregion with a dwarf: Fusi (?) Stonecutter). Anyway, a missing NPC: Elrohir. I could not finish. Dumped it along with ALL epics in my log.

I'm done with epics. Material that is years old should not be this way. But hey, now I remember why I cancelled my sub. If I can level without epics, cool. If not, whatever...

Tried it yet two more times... just B S. Nothing else to add.

PS: and oh yeah, if turbine or anyone else doesn't like the term "BS"... whatever. FIX THE BUGS!

Yeah I had the same thing, aligned the beams and net refuses to open, doing that instance is extremely frustrating to say the least LOL, I sent in a bug report hopin it'll get fixed.
