[Bug] Ritual Encounter Stuck – Inactive Statues Prevent Completion

While playing Path of Exile 2, I encountered a critical issue during a Ritual encounter.

As seen in the attached screenshot, the Ritual event is stuck and cannot be completed because the statues — which are supposed to animate and attack as part of the encounter — remain inactive. Their health bars never appear, they don’t move or engage in combat, and the Ritual doesn’t progress past this point. The encounter is effectively softlocked, and I’m unable to finish the area or continue playing normally.

This has happened multiple times, so it might be reproducible under certain conditions, such as specific enemy types or zone setups.

Hope this gets patched soon — Rituals are a major part of the gameplay loop in PoE2. Thanks for your work!

had the same issue happen to me

Problem still relevant. Map Channel, probably due to the terracota statues not activating.

No known work around or solution. Aborting the map and losing everything involved is the only way out.
