Fermi Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I was doing Bobby Curtis arc on redside last night. During the final mission you enter a place and fight a lot of Kaolin of Earth. It's a kill all mobs. I was taking my time, kiting each one, talking to a friend as the mission went on, and, when I saw there was only one mob left, I've decided to use Howling Twilight on him, since it has a 1min45s recharge on that toon and, by the time I would start the next mission, it would be ready to use again. Killed him and... cutscene! Arc Flash appears by the entrance door. New goal: fight her. The entrance is two rooms away, she's not aggroed yet. I take my sweet time and let Howling Twilight recharge before face her. When I approach and I'm able to select her, her health is just a sliver, and she's surrounded by an energy aura. New goal: talk to her. Mission proceeds as if I had beaten her to pulp and she now wants to parlay. I haven't touched her. My conclusion: that aura is damaging her, as even during the talk her health was taking damage, eventually reaching near zero and autoregen to a bit over that. Checked the wiki and I couldn't identify any powers that could drain her health. I also gave her no reason for her to (de)buff herself like that if I was beyond visual and aggro ranges.

Shenanigunner Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Some of these missions with non-defeat endings have the boss or other foe already beaten down. This may not be a bug.

Placta Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 It's probably Dynamo, the revamped version of Lightning Field. It's been reported as a bug for AE enemies; I've noticed when my elec/elec blaster fights a doppelganger the doppelganger takes damage out of combat and will defeat herself with no intervention needed.

So it's also a bug for non-AE enemies as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
