knuckles.9706 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 When going into Mordremoth's mind, I selected Canach to go in with me. This leads to fighting the vision of Canach. In short, this fight is bugged. After the vision of Canach's health lowers to the threshold where he starts throwing grenades, the real Canach goes into his mode of putting up the shield to block/reflect the grenades. This part is fine, but then what happens is Canach will never go back to fighting and gets stuck running to different spots and shielding. The sequence about opening & widening the rift to defeat the Vision of Canach never prompts. In the attached screenshot I managed to defeat the Vision of Canach by reducing his health to zero and he disappears, with the rift sequence never happening. Meanwhile Canach is still shielding and the story never progresses.Here's a screenshot showing Canach shielding, the story still says Defeat the vision of Canach and there is no vision of Canach in sight.

Serenity.9726 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I just had this exact same thing happen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 He only goes back to fighting if you get under the shield which causes the boss's grenades to be reflected back at him and break his bar. If his bar isn't broken in this manner, it has the potential to bug out entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayura.8251 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 It is waiting for you to do the mechanic: stand under his shield and have it deflect a granade from the enemy Canach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanave.7635 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Just had a similar problem happen, except the boss is dead and canach is stuck in a permanent shield loop. There's nothing I can do really and it won't let me reload the last checkpoint so Ig I'll have to do the whole instance again- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drezzz.5019 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Bug is still here. definitely needs some kind of a status check instead of just letting canach shield infinitely waiting to reflect non existent grenades 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShotgunKjell.9138 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) I stood there for a good few minutes in the shield and several grenades were deflected, but it never progressed. Killed the vision of Canach and he (friendly Canach) is looped in the shield animation. Didn't try to brute force anything, Canach was just running around spammng his shield for a few seconds and then moving across the arena to do the same thing. Didn't matter how long I was standing in it or how much was deflected. Fun. Edit: This godawful mission has now bugged out on me SIX TIMES in a goddamn row. Specifically the Canach fight. This is the worst experience I have had in this game so far and Jesus H. Christ, I really did not think HoT could be any more awful in my own opinion. Everything about the terrain pisses me off, and as it turns out you can't even complete the story because they couldn't have been assed once the past six years to fix an encounter that bugs out every single time. Edited December 3, 2021 by ShotgunKjell.9138 this mission is absolutely awful- 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrienne.6983 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Bug still present in 2022. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastiee.7163 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Just encountered this bug and don't feel like redoing this sequence again. Pretty sad that it's still present/not even acknowledged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart College Boy.3249 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Just happened to me on 05/18/2022. How can a bug like this persist for so long? Sheesh.... I really don't want to redo this part of the story again. Canach is standing there constantly putting up a shield after I already defeated his vision. Nothing else I can do other than reset the entire segment of the story. And if I have to repeat this again to get it to work I'm going to..... **bleep** 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhoram.4786 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) I just experienced the same issue during my first time in this fight. Problem is, that I was under the shield for some time and nothing happened, so I decided to step out of the shield and continue the fight. The game should make it more clear, that it is required to utilize this game-mechanic or otherwise the progress is blocked.

anthonypants.8027 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 This bug is still present, and standing underneath the shield to deflect grenades while the fight is going on is pointless because a fire grenade will always pop under the shield, at which point Canach will drop his shield and run off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxdragonia.5179 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 8/11/2022 I was able to get Blighted Canach down to 2%, then click on the rift. Blighted Canach and rift disappear and I am now stuck and cannot progress the story line. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple jack.3592 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 just completed this a few days ago and didn't run into any issues. It had been sitting there as the only part of the story not complete for months as it was tedious to solo. However it appears the story now saves progression which was a relief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
