Crotas End question; second chest

This about the second chest...I played earlier with a group and when I told them they all ignored me. So once you beat the Ogres at the bridge, everyone makes the mad dash for the second chest. People believe that there is a timer from the ogre death or first shriker, but what if there isn't. There is a Dredged Cursed Thrall that comes out, and once he dies the door begins to close. Earlier today, I was with a group told them and was ignored. We proceeded to enter the hallway and kill the shrikers. Once we made it to the end of the hallway the thrall was there and the door was not closing. The thrall then rounded the corner, and I said "hey look, there's the thrall" it exploded and the door started closing. The crazy part is the entire team was at the end of the hallway and once that thrall exploded we narrowly made it. Basically, I'm wondering if I'm the only person here that realizes that there is no timer from the beginning...instead the timer has to do with the thrall. It's like the myth with the sprit bloom chest. Edit: well I suppose I need video proof of some sort to test this [b]theory[/b] out since a few people just don't believe me

  • I am fairly certain that it is both. There is a timer as soon as the threshold is crossed, [b]or[/b] when that thrall spawns/ dies. Ive slow played it to the second shrieker and that door is always closed before can even see it, also have had the door close at 30 seconds as soon as that thrall goes boom.

    • Tested it over and over again with a friend for hours doing all sorts of different things to find the trigger. What we found was that the door starts closing at 60 sec from the moment you cross the threshold of the first door that opens. Fully closed at 65 seconds. Killing the cursed dredge didnt seem to make a difference nor did killing either shrieker. Did this many times with a stopwatch with the same result most of the time. Had 2 cases where the door was closed from the start but that could have been a bug or lag.

        • Yeah, I've always thought the timer starts when you kill the second shrieker

        • Ive killed second shrieker ahead of my team when carrying low levels then died from the blast and they made into chest room so im figuring that has to be it

            • Pretty sure it starts closing once you pass under the second shrieker OR after ~3min of starting the hallway battle (might be 1-5min idk we always beat the hall in like 40sec anyway)

                    • I was never sure about the timer situation after beating the ogres so I usually press the team to wipe. At that point, I thought a timer started upon respawning. I also heard often that the thrall was a separate trigger. We have got through without killing it and the door would still be closing by the time we got past the second shrieker. I'm not even sure anymore, I just run through that junk as quickly as possible.

                      • If it is based on when that thrall emerges and dies; then it is on a timer. People might be wrong about what triggers it, but it's still on a timer.

                          • Ive seen that Thrall when doing it solo and always thought the timer started when you killed first shrieker...will have to give it a shot and see.

                              • I don't think that's true man. I've seen the door closed before that thrall even comes out.

                                  • Is it specifically named "Dredged Cursed Thrall"? The name actually being different than the other cursed in the area?
