After watching many youtube videos on the crucible i am noticing ALL of these players are gaining access to the elevator platform which is surrounded by flaming braziers. Learning that once you enter the crucible room and make the first blood offering you should also offer a Fallen Ember too. This is not working for me and is cooking my very few brain cells. Yes i have completed both the main quests and yes i am leaving the part to talk to Elsa LAST but I am still getting no where. I am also aware that the cut scene with Elsworth should happen after you complete the quests and then Roan will give you the tomb to then give to Elsa.
It seems the ordering on my play through’s are some how scrambled and I would love some clarity behind all of this.
you found footage of the old version of the crucible. the place has since been updated to be different.
in the new version (the latest update), you can access the crucible as soon as you get into sacrament, by:
going to the stone masonry
offering blood to open the gate, no tome required.
kindling the cerim whisper (respawn point) inside. this awakens the chamber.
talk to elsa to move her out of the way
offering your blood to the statue she was previously standing at, at the bottom of the stairs. this will auto-teleport you into a crucible run, no fallen ember involved.
Thank you very much for that. Very devastated that i cant take advantage of actual loot drops from the crucible enemies, i guess i will have to just keep defeating the Echo Knight then
