So I was finishing Lower Loran dungeon, and after a while getting used to Loran DB
, and fighting against the camera, finally did it. Then I returned to the Dream, and went to the first altar, where you can quick search for dungeons. Immediately pops up lower loran, with all the layers available to join. So I think, why not give LDB another run, see if I can beat it more easily now? I warp in there and there's another boss, sitting there (P.Elder). I attack him he doesn't move. Go back and try to use the lamp, it's not there. Go for the doors? Locked.
I get pissed and use a Mark. Throws me back to the same, locked room. Start to get a little nervous. Use a normal mark, same result. Tried to suicide with the chikage, the game sends me back to this fucking tomb. There doesn't seem to be a solution for this and I'm scratching my head on why did no one over at From notice that this could happen. So I'm trapped in a dungeon that I've already completed (albeit being someone else's) and with no solution in sight. The only "solution" was to erase my save and download a previous one from the cloud, but in doing so I lost practically all progress in lower loran. Can't wait to face my man AB and LDB again. Fun times.
Searching for a solution I came across a video of some other poor guy in the same exact situation and it's worrying that this can be a thing. It's really uncanny as it was the same exact thing I did, and the end result is the same.Check it out:

Seriously, I'm a huge Souls fanboy and I'll defend these games all day, every day of the week..but these kind of bugs are inexcusable. People lost their shit over the lift to a certain boss not working, this is 1000x worse. You literally get trapped in the tomb with no way to leave. Better hope you have a backup of the save or else you're screwed.
In short, never choose boss areas in quick search dungeons that you've completed, or else you will be trapped in the arena, with no lamp to warp to and no way to fight the boss.
