[Progression Blocker] [Boss: Brood Fight] The Brood Fight Does Not Trigger

Issue: The Brood encounter is not triggering. My character can run into the arena and nothing happens. The bats are flying around above, but no boss logic starts.

How I got into this state:

  1. I was able to do this fight before the issue manifested.
  2. I was not able to beat the encounter and decided to go farm healing materials in the lowlands.
  3. From the Cerim Chamber travel point, I ported to Sacrament.
  4. I ran into the lowlands and immediately crashed upon loading that zone.
  5. I relaunched my client and tried again to pass into lowlands. I crashed again.
  6. I relaunched my client and decided to try entering the lowlands through the shoreline at the start of the game.
  7. I ran from Sacrament to the starting area beach and swam across to enter the zone.
  8. I started to farm materials near the lift and died. I respawned in Sacrament.
  9. I decided to go back to getting in more reps with the Brood encounter.
  10. I ported back to Cerim Chamber travel point.
  11. I entered the Brood combat arena and the boss encounter no longer triggered.
  12. I relaunched my client, but again the fight would not start.
  13. I quit the client.
  14. I uninstalled the game via Steam.
  15. I reinstalled the game via Steam.
  16. I relaunched the client and loaded into my character.
  17. I proceeded into the Brood combat arena and the fight did not trigger.
