During gameplay, the Carnifex boss failed to engage properly, resulting in a soft lock. While progressing through the mission, I reached an area with locked doors that require the defeat of a boss to open. However, the Carnifex was not present in the area or accessible, and progression became impossible. This issue appears related to the RNG mechanic governing the boss spawn or its pathing behavior.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Begin the mission and progress normally.
  2. Encounter a scenario where the RNG mechanic spawns the Carnifex early, but it does not follow or engage in later areas.
  3. Attempt to proceed through the locked doors, which remain inaccessible without defeating the boss.

Expected Behavior:

  • The Carnifex should consistently follow or engage players if spawned early.
  • Locked doors should have a fallback mechanism to ensure progression if the RNG mechanic causes issues (e.g., the boss despawning or not being accessible).

Additional Notes:
This issue could potentially be resolved by:

  1. Allowing progression past locked doors regardless of boss defeat if RNG creates complications.
  2. Adding a fail-safe where the boss respawns near locked doors if not defeated in earlier areas.
