A friend and I were going through a playthrough of Honor mode and were just about to reach the
final Netherbrain fight
when our whole team was killed after the
cutscene with the Red dragon taking down the Nautiloids
.
We had climbed to the top of the tower (in 2 turns of the 10 we get I think) and one of our characters entered the final room with the Brain stem and long rest
. The rest of our characters were pretty close behind, but didn't have their turns. The cutscene played like normal, and then when it ended we had about 1 second of play and then our whole team wiped. It ended the honor mode and was pretty frustrating. This is probably the 3rd honor mode run I've had just end to a bug I couldn't control (Elevators are the scariest enemy in this game btw).

Has this sort of issue happened with anyone else. I just don't understand why our team was wiped in this situation. We had plenty of time for the fight to climb the tower and we were all practically full Hp. The only thing that was out of the norm was that one of our main characters was dominated when the cutscene was initiated.

I feel for you. I have no idea why your run was killed.
As to elevators - after the cable car between Trielta Crags and Rosemorn Monastery dumped my party into the chasm, I travel like the British royal family - never with everybody on the same ride.

If the reason was that one character was dominated, I suggest the following.

In this race, you need only one character to reach the doors. So I always detach one and let the others wait outside the big gate, out of reach of nautiloid cannon. Equip the PC that does the dash with sufficient misty step and invisibility spells (potion, scrolls) to reach the door without too much of a fight. Once past the door, the battle is done and the rest of the party can move in to join the champion (and heal. Don't let the champion heal before the others have arrived)

Yea that's kinda what we had initially planned and have done similar before. I've done the fight without a single enemy having a turn before, we just got a little too close and got caught.

I really don't know if the dominate was the cause it just seemed like the only thing that was odd I guess.

I've lost a run to that cable car as well as the elevator in Shar's temple. I never place a whole team on elevators anymore and always save/reload the game before I dare make one move. Those kind of deaths just really destroy the motivation for starting the next one... 😔
