Glitch in 3rd Snowbeast Fight

During the 3rd snowbeast fight, I can get the enemy to be "stabbed" by the spears once or twice. The QTE, no matter how many times I hit it or who does the hitting, will not kill it. Gone up to three times as of my last count.

Alternatively, the enemy is "stabbed" by the spears but the snowbeast just falls out of them. The spears act like they're stuck inside and wiggle around but the snowbeast itself is still free to attack me. Once this happens, the snowbeast cannot be stabbed by the spears. Fifteen consecutive attempts all resulted in the spears "impacting" with the stabbing animation, then the snowbeast walking right out of them.

For the specific time frame, it's approximately 50.4% through the game in the middle of Chapter 13.

I assume this is a glitch of some kind; it makes the game unplayable and quite frustrating.

    Have you done the second part of the sequence? Once you leads him into the clearing and hit him with the harpoons, you need to immediately run to the opposite side to a generator looking device against the wall. Use kinesis on the wheel and repeatedly do this. If you get interrupted too many times or do not consistently do it fast enough, the boss will break free and move to attack you again.

    This sequence is much easier in coop as you can harpoon the boss and the second player can immediately start turning the wheel. The second player then defends the other while the wheel is being turned; limiting interruptions.

    This will defeat the boss in a somewhat gory and pleasant fashion.

    Let us know if that resolves the problem you were having.

    That's exactly what I do. I lure it into the path of the spears, the spears launch and then it just walks out of them.

    PROBLEM IS SOLVED. Somehow, when I woke up this morning and did the sequence again, it worked. Took several tries but it finally decided to let me kill the creature. Glitch is still unsolved..
