Bugs[]

  • xbox360Xbox360While fighting in the Proving, you can talk to the proving master after defeating the enemies. There is a small window you can do this in. Once you talk to him, keep choosing dialog #1. You can get caught in an infinite loop and never complete the proving or you can finish the proving and all your companions that you had with you before going into the proving will be standing outside the proving alone. You can not add them back to your party until you go back to your camp.
  • If you finish the final (full team) battle on the Proving with the "Hold position" on, your squad will remain in the Proving Arena, while the Warden will be "teleported" outside. And if you select another team member and remove the "Hold position", the Warden will be "teleported" back to the team, i.e., to the Proving Arena. Unfortunately, there is no exit from the Arena when the Proving is finished. The doors are not active and the proving master is not there to complain. Looks like there is no other option but to reload last save.
