Monster Name:

In-Game Time:
I don´t know for sure but i think it was around 11 pm ingame time.

Steps:
We were transferred from Coerthas central highland to the map to fight Dhorme chimera. Someone disconnected and we guess it was during the transfer from maps. We didn´t notice it and engaged the Dhorme chimera anyway while 1 party member was disconnected. After a while we noticed that the chimera didn´t use his signature attacks. He didn´t use his ice patch skill and he didn´t use his Rams voice and Dragons voice. I don't know for sure if it also didn't use the chasing ball attack, because we were busy figuring out what was wrong and the chimera wasn't low enough yet to use that attack. After a while the missing party member reconnected and joined the fight. If i remember correctly the Dhorme chimera had about 50-40% hp left when the missing party member reconnected After he joined the fight, the standard big yellow letters witch said: DUTY COMMENCED appeared and after that moment the Dhorme Chimera went back in it's old rotation and used all his skills again. We wiped anyway after the missing party member came back. We tried figure out if this was an exploit or not and tried to reconstruct it. So I disconnected during the loading transfer screen. I relogged after a minute or 3 to see if the chimera bugged. We don't know if it worked the second time since i returned when the chimera had like 80% hp and didn't use his signature skills anyway. We wiped again after that encounter and didn't try it again.

We did not try to use the exploit to progess in the game. We only used it the second time to confirm if it was indeed an exploit.

I hope this helps you solve the issue.

I had a similar thing happen when I did Hydra. A party member DC'd during the loading screen and it pretty much disabled Hydra -- he could not use any special abilities. However, after killing him, the entire party was STUCK in the instance. We could not exit without abandoning the relic quest, which no one would want to do. So we had to sit for almost 20 minutes until time ran out and we did not get credit for the kill.
