Cultists, glowing monoliths, counter… nothing.

[Delmuir]

Occasionally one of those extra mission/bosses pop up… this time in Daikara. It's the corruptors (with bone shield) standing next to their glowing stone monoliths and when you kill them they say things like "not yet" or "the ritual will be weakened."

There is also a counter that says 210 turns but it never counted down and nothing ever happened. In fact, I've never seen anything happen with that and I'm curious as to why. Am I supposed to do something to trigger it beyond what I've done?

Sometimes I kill them all and sometimes I don't kill any… what's the deal?

Normally, if you kill one and let the counter run down a boss spawns somewhere in the zone and you can hunt her down. She has that meteor prodigy and it will count as seeing a meteor for the sake of getting it yourself. I don't know if there's anything to it beyond that. It kind of seems like you're being encouraged not to let the counter run down and spawn the boss, but I'm not sure what else you're supposed to.

Every time I've seen this, the counter has started going down as soon as I killed a corrupter. If that's not happening, maybe it's bugging out? I don't know.

Did you kill all of them?

If you kill one or more corruptors, the countdown begins and then something will happen.

The outcome of that something changes, depending on how many corruptors you kill. Killing only one corruptor gives the optimal outcome.

I did eventually kill all of them but even before I did, the counter never started counting down. I just assumed it was a bug because I've seen it before and never had a problem with it.

I've had it bug out once or twice like this. Was it on the last level of alt Daikara (the fire flavoured version)?

[Delmuir]

Why yes it was.
