[Prich.9364]

this issue with the tower not being destroyed is still there i have tried 5 times now killed everything on the map and still nothing this needs sorting this isnt the first time either i had this with almost everyone of my chars

[Charon.7825]

SMH.... 2019, same issue.. REALLY? DEVS NEED TO COME OUT OF COMA

[Grinu.8596]

wtf why the fuck this bug still exists it's main story hello?

[Tom Reven.5627]

This bug still exists. I have had Tonn stuck on the second tower twice and the first tower once so far today. I've gone through and cleared the zone twice before starting the escort but I must be missing a mob or something because it's still hanging up.

[nembool.5981]

Same bug for me. Tonn stuck after detonating the second tower. He's responsive to greetings, and gives a brief dialogue, but will not move.Can't see any Risen stuck in either of the two tower wreckages though.

[dgitall.5740]

So, just to keep this thread going, the bug still exists. I killed the resistant mob at the first tower but the group got killed in the meantime and Tom is stuck. I will have to restart it because I've killed everything and it still doesn't work.

Guys. Tonn follows you through the caves and will stick near you even if the others are fighting. Leave the others fighting in the cave and take Tonn to blow up both towers before killing everything. He should then help you fight and then follow you back through the cave.

Leave the others fighting in the cave and take Tonn to blow up both towers before killing everything. He should then help you fight and then follow you back through the cave.Eh, it's not that we didn't try to do this. I also left the others back to fight and rushed to the towers, in some attempts. The problem is that sometimes he remains watching the second tower (well, the remains of it) when you go back to the others. It seems that it might be because some kraitt is killed by the detonation of the second tower, so the task "kill them all" will never be completed. Maybe. Perhaps.

December 2019.. the bug stills occours.

[chrispy.7182]

STILL BUGGED. Stuck at second tower......ANET, you are unbelievable......

[Vesavius.3782]

2020 still hanging...

[skajlans.8463]

i have too bug at tower 2 , game starts 2012 and still have bugs in this small storz ...

[Ithilwen.1529]

Demolitionist Tonn "sticks" after destroying the second tower. I followed the green stars and the Vigil NPCs and destroyed all visible enemies in the instance. The story can't continue as Tonn won't move.

This was the second attempt with the same results.

Here's a thread from further down the page; it has some Dev posts, and some solutions that worked for some players.

16/02/2020(dd/mm/yy)Just got to this quest and it is still bugged. i read all the comments and i believe up to this point arenanet menaged to fix the one wich tonn doesn't talk after blowing the 3 towers. But i still got stuck in the second one. Since i'm still in my first try i went through it normally with the NPCs and killing the mobs, after tonn exploded the second tower he got stuck there while the caranavan kept moving to the third tower. I thought he would move eventually so i killed everyone in the third tower, ressed everybody and the cow/bull/whatever stayed behind uphill not moving and tonn is still there stuck where the blown second tower was. tried luring some mobs that weren't agroed before to him, but after killing them tonn just walks to the second tower spot and stays there... guess i'll have to zone out, come back again, waste half an hour killing tons of useless mobs in hope it doesn't bug again...

Killing all the mobs before talking with tonn worked out fine for me. Had to use aoe skills to unbug some units from inside the towers, 3 kraits that were lurking under water neart the second tower and kept behind the mamox waiting them to lure the unavoideable wave of spiders. The tip to run uphill after the third tower was good, menaged to kill just a few mobs and the quest cleared.

@Pagio.3029 said:Confirmed...Take your time and kill everything in (clear) the dungeon BEFORE talking to Tonn.Don't rez anyone and DON'T SKIP CUTSCENES.Then talk to him and stay close and stay close to the squad.Done it at 1st try.

Thanks for the tips, I am glad that you found a way to complete this story step I do have to say I also am a bit saddened that a thing like this that has been in the game oh well - forever - is still not fixed today, and that I had to come to the forums to find out about it. Talk about immersion breaking experiences...

@Dyoku.7985 said:Ok Guys, September 30 and I did it! this is how:1) Killed everything BEFORE talk to tom. Special attention to those risen that ARE INSIDE THE TOWERS, they just spawn there try to use AOE skills to kill them, they can go through the ruins, but you don't, so try to hit them with any aoe skill and they will go after you.2) Didn't ress anyone in the 3rd tower .3) Dont skip cut scenes.4) Tom was stalling after he explodes the 2nd tower but dont care about him and keep going thru the cave, always stand close to the pack.

I finished this today, 3rd try with this character. Never had this trouble before, with any character. But, today, got stuck twice. Tonn wouldn't move at 2nd tower.

I followed line 1.

Kill EVERYTHING before talking to Tonn at all.The spiders in the cave spawn again after leaving the second tower.I ressed three at the 3rd tower.I skipped the cut scenes.But I killed EVERY mob I could find, first.And after the 2nd tower, I followed the pack and Tonn followed me. Good enough.

Thanks to all who posted the workarounds for this problem.

[Erai.5892]

This happened to me one time. How is this still happening a few years later? Killing everything worked.

[Exoteis.3769]

Hello, it's 1st april 2020 and I had to cancel the quest due to tomm not moving. He stopped near the second tower while the rest of the squad walked to a camp before the 3rd tower. There was no mobs to be found but tonn was alone, not moving near second tower.From reading the comments from years ago, I can say I saw a mob going inside the second tower rubles before it exploded, unsure if I killed it or not, I was doing AOEs.Hopefully if any devs read that should reset some of the spawns of mobs or force the squad to keep on going because this is very frustrating, also it takes forever...

[Exoteis.3769]

On my second attempt, I cleared the map of mobs before starting the escort. It worked.

I noticed at the second tower that the mob closest to the beach disappeared through the floor without dying. It couldn't be target not killed through aoe after it gone through the floor. I suspect this might be the bug, if tonn is aggro'd on this mob as it goes through the floor, it might bug him out.

I was positionned feets in the water, behind the second tower, as I engaged the mob, it went towards me, towards the sea, and disappeared bellow the map. Never to be seen again.

[Myuray.9184]

I cleared it on my second attempt by sticking close to the marmok or whatever animal it is. Only progress when it is progressing, and if it goes back to the last place it was before initiating the combat, I follow. I try to keep behind it and move as little as possible away from it. Also make sure that tom is following.At the last tower I hat to go ahead without the animal, so I made sure tom was with me. I cleared only the direct path to the tower and let him set up the explosion. After that, when enemies are coming, I only sit next to the guy as much as possible and then it worked.

[Quilaa.5479]

Still bugged. 2 years later, and not fixed. This is very sloppy. Get off your a ss, GW2.

[CTrain.6542]

Still bugged for me. 3rd attempt. Stayed with Marmok, killed methodically at each tower. 3rd Tower came down but "clear the beach of undead" progress bar is at 1/3 and will not move any further despite attempts to find anymore Risen. Tonn stuck at base of 3rd tower. Marmok never moved again from top of hill near Spider cave entrance.

Quite. Frustrating.

[King.4293]

Just did the mission, the bug is still there in 2020. Tonn just stands at the second tower and the quest log says "Escort Tonn's team to the undead towers."
