Temple of Mythal ritual - Companions *NOT* holding position

Don't know if it is a bug with your game or mine....but my companions didn't cause any issues no matter where they ran in the puzzles.  Only thing that effected the puzzle was the controled character.  So while my companions ran around like chickens with no heads, I did the puzzles and had to step carefully to not step twice on the same place.

Yeah. I just finished this the other night and other than a couple times I took a sharp turn that caused me to bump into a companion and get knocked back into a square I had just left, ruining that run (which was admittedly very frustrating) the movments of my companions were meaningless in my abilities to solve the puzzles. You don't need to make them hold position to complete any of the puzzles (though it would definitely make it easier if you COULD tell them to stay the heck out of your way.)

I had some issues, but I found that if I put the game into tactical mode then the orders were reliably followed. It was the Exalted Plains arrow puzzle that made me learn this lesson, so by Mythal I had no issues.

Tactical mode would NOT work for me when I did this. I just had to run the pattern and hope.

There was a shrine in Emerald Graves I tried to do this with too (where you have to light all four lights at the same time). They'd hold position, but they wouldn't all interact...only the first character I clicked on did it. I finally gave up.

I've got to say, though only "three" of us have also had this problem, I've spoken with many players, and they have all had this issue. Not pleased.

My issue isn't to do with my other companions, but with Morrigan. I try to jump back to a safe middle area, and she's suddenly standing there, registering my jump as an attempt to ask about Mythal.

Echoing the others who've posted, the NPCs don't trigger ANYTHING in the Temple of Mythal puzzles.  I don't have to "Hold" them, or anything. It doesn't matter where any of the others are, just the "Controlled Character" who started the puzzle.

Do have to be sure not to "Interact" with any of the others by accident.  😕mileywink:

I had this same problem and tried everything I could come up with and everything you guys came up with; Found this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiRiIgv5mA4 tho. And it helped me. I just let the followers and morrigan do as they pleased. I thought I needed a follower to turn the lever but apparently not 🙂

I'm not running it to any one the tiles are just to damn sensitive to a second hit, I move to a tile the whole fricken thing shuts down, and never the same tile. The frustrating thing is i''ve done it 4 times before it was easy to do and now since updates nothing but problems.... The only thing different is I'm playing a female lead.

@slimdandee1 Some people have found that lowering the graphics settings can help (graphics issues can cause such weird bugs in this game). You could also try walking instead of running (there is a key that toggles walking/running, I don't remember what the default is, check your key bindings), see if that helps.

Thank you very much I'll give that a try...
