Genshin Impacted by Strange Bug: Players Unexpectedly Trapped in Cages During Battles
Genshin Impact players are currently experiencing problems with this game bug.
The Treasure Hunt gangs have the potential to cause a lot of trouble for Genshin Impact players.
Recently, the Genshin Impact community worldwide has been outraged and frustrated by a new bug in the game. This bug involves a group of enemies called Treasure Hoarders, who guard treasure on the map. Although these enemies aren't a major threat and are usually just minor targets for players to obtain materials, this bug is causing considerable inconvenience.
The player is trapped in a cage in Genshin Impact.
If the player accidentally enters the area where the Pirate Crew operates, an enemy called the Sea Pirate Crew will summon a wooden cage from the sky, trapping the protagonist inside. Importantly, this cage is indestructible, regardless of the player's attack skills, elemental activations, or special skill changes. While trapped, other Pirate Crews will attack from the outside, and the only way to escape is to teleport to another location on the map.
Once you're trapped, the only way to escape is by using the map.
It's unclear whether this is a bug in Genshin Impact, as theoretically, being trapped in a cage makes escape impossible. Therefore, many players consider it a strange glitch. Currently, this situation occurs quite frequently, but the specific trigger conditions remain unknown. Although this bug doesn't directly harm the character, being trapped has caused frustration and inconvenience for many players.
Here are some opinions from the gaming community:
– 'We have something else to experiment with…' – 'These kinds of missions promise to be interesting.' – 'There's no way to escape, I'll have to use teleportation.' – 'At worst, let's try using Furina's Pet to see if things improve?'
It seems that the map expansion and the addition of new details caused the publisher to overlook this bug. Nevertheless, it's undeniable that Genshin has recreated it very realistically, making it difficult for players to complain about such a 'reasonable' situation.
