A Diablo 4 player recently met an unexpected and inconvenient fate after dying in the game and respawning in an unfavorable location. Despite its impressive launch and overall positive reception, Diablo 4 has not avoided criticism. Some players have expressed dissatisfaction with the game's endgame content, while others have raised concerns about the handling of seasonal content. Additionally, technical issues have been reported, although Diablo 4 remains a polished experience overall, requiring the addressing of a few bugs.
Some Diablo 4 players have been experiencing a bug where they respawn behind a locked door after dying in a dungeon. Reddit user rethoyjk encountered this issue and found themselves unable to progress due to the locked door. While this may initially seem advantageous, it actually prevents players from properly completing the dungeons, as reported by commenters on the post.
In order to successfully finish Diablo 4 dungeons, players must complete specific objectives. Often, these dungeons feature locked doors that players must unlock. If players respawn behind these locked doors, they are unable to fulfill the objectives and therefore cannot progress through the dungeon. Although this glitch is not the only obstacle preventing players from completing content in Diablo 4, there appears to be a solution to resolve this problem.
If Diablo 4 players encounter this issue, their best option is to open the map, click on the dungeon's entrance, and choose to exit. They should then be able to re-enter the dungeon and complete it normally, unless there are other unforeseen problems. While not ideal, this method is better than losing all progress. Until Blizzard releases an update to address the root cause of the issue, this workaround will suffice.
While Blizzard has not confirmed any specific plans to fix this issue, fans can expect regular updates for Diablo 4. As a live service game with long-term seasonal content, it is hoped that these updates will address some of the game's lingering problems.
Diablo 4 is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
