I exited the lab into a small open area with three Blighted bulbs. I destroyed them before any darkspawn/enemies could appear. This locked me into the area, as I couldn’t go back and the way forward was locked. I had to reload into the most recent autosave and let the darkspawn appear first. Once the enemies were defeated, Rook said some dialogue and the way forward opened. Playing on PC/Steam
I'm having the same issue, how long did you have to wait for the darkspawn to appear?
Had the same/a similar issue as y'all. When I first entered the area, it was empty — after maybe half a minute of running around trying to figure out what I was meant to be doing, the cysts spawned, and I shot them before the darkspawn could... spawn (ha). Softlocked myself that way.
Upon reloading the last autosave, they all spawned immediately — cysts, darkspawn and all. Seems like a reload might be all this needs to be able to keep playing, ans it's a good thing it autosaves right before entering the area
