Sanctum Floor 4 Boss Bug with cannot be damaged Boon
|
I was running my Sanctum and got the boon cannot be damaged until the next room is completed right before the boss fight.
I play hardcore, so i tested if it really worked on the bossfight and it worked. when the the mechanic started i manage to pick up all the sandclocks on the ground, but it seems like the last one was to late because the boss still did his run ending animation. I wasnt really worried, because i couldnt be damaged so in my mind the worst case scenario was failing the run. But it just killed my character. i get along with beeing killed by bugged collossus fight in act 2 or some on death effect thats barely visible, but loosing a lvl 88 char, in a scenario where the game tells me YOU CANNOT BE DAMAGED is really bad and finally got me to the point, that i will wait for the next POE1 league and maybe play POE 2 again when it releases. I dont want to be negative about the game,i get its beta and there is a lot of things to work on, but this death feels even worse than a dc or lag death because the game kinda lied to me.

Late to this party, but I just did floor 4 and was also taking damage from the boss, got the boon at the end of the room before. Sorry no image of me taking damage, I was kinda concentrating on not dying lol. I guess you'll have to trust me on that one.
![]() If you don't want people immortal on bosses, I'd get that, but if that is the case, the description should be changed to "in the next trial room" or "non-boss room" or something. Last edited by refraction#3821 on Jan 3, 2026, 11:13:56 PM

This isnt a bug, that Hourglass mechanic doesnt Damage you, it's an insta kill. It doesnt actually deal damage, you just failed the mechanic and you get killed, its as simple as that, this is been known since 0.1, and hasnt changed since 0.1, that boon works on everything else he does, but the time stop hourglass is a designed 1 shot, you fail it, you lose, doesnt matter.

" In my case I didn't have trouble with the hourglass mechanic, I actually did the boss in one go, also the boss was firmly in-screen when I recieved damage, firing stuff around. Last edited by refraction#3821 on Jan 4, 2026, 12:28:16 AM
