STATUS UPDATE: We tried some of the suggestions in the comments and ended up beating Riven (and the raid!) without any further issues. Blight spawned in her mouth, taken energy was exploding on death, everything was good. We mainly tried: Refreshing our checkpoint through loading in on an alt and wishing ourselves to Riven, killing her within 2 cyst-phases, and waiting for the prompt beckoning us to her heart before approaching her mouth. We're not quite sure which of these definitively solved the issue but I imagine we'll be doing this from now on.

Hey guys,

I don't see very many posts/videos/mentions about this issue that my raid group seems to be having every time we attempt to beat Riven so I was hoping to create some visibility in hopes of bringing attention to what we think is a gamebreaking bug.

Video of the Bug [gonna tag this as NSFW-ish due to some f-bombs being dropped]

For those that cannot watch the video at the moment, we're on PS4. Basically what happens is every time we bring Riven down to the last 10% for her Last Stand, her animations look... lifeless. Yes, I know she's supposed to be dying but there's no explosion of Taken Energy, no Blight in her mouth to shoot, nothing. We have no issues killing her here, but then when we go to jump into her mouth to finish her heart off we aren't allowed in, as if there's an invisible barrier that isn't lifting properly

This is a big issue for us because this hasn't happened only once. EVERY TIME we attempt Riven this happens and if not for this bug we would have cleared this part of the raid 7-8 Riven kills ago. We've tried reloading from Orbit, trying on multiple different days, switching fireteam leader/hosts, and nothing works. We physically cannot progress past this part of the raid and as of now my team hasn't cleared the raid yet because of this. This is very disheartening if not extremely frustrating and we aren't sure what to do at this point. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix for this? Are we missing something?

E1: I also posted this on the Bungie forums here

E2: Another group experienced a similar issue to this as well, posted by /u/gboccia in this thread: link here

E3: One of our group tweeted Joe and Dmg here

E4: For anyone that wants to see it, here's my point of view of this entire encounter.

E5: Ok so from all the comments posted thus far, here's a list of things my team's going to potentially try doing tonight:

  1. Refreshing our checkpoint by loading in on an alt and wishing ourselves to Riven.
  2. Killing her in 2 cyst-phases instead of 3.
  3. Waiting a couple of moments after killing her before approaching her mouth.
  4. Double-checking everyone's internet setup
