Unverified report — use caution before spending a key. Players are reporting another barrier-related route into the Fallen Emperor's final loot room on Pendola Pass after Update 2.1.0. Players who spend a key and complete the dungeon may find the final room already looted. These community reports are unverified and have not been independently confirmed by ArcStatus. No newer Embark acknowledgment has been found as of publication. The October 13 throwable-door fix should not be read as confirmation that every route into the room is fixed.
Public player reports dated October 15 describe another barrier-related route. iLootGames also reports seeing a clip today, corroborating that these reports are circulating. ArcStatus has not independently inspected that clip, and the report attachments were inaccessible during research. This is a community caution, not an official warning or confirmation of an exploit.
What the October 13 patch fixed
Embark's Update 2.1.0 patch notes state: “Fixed unintended interactions between throwables and certain doors on the Emperor.” That specific prior fix is separate from today's unverified barrier reports. ArcStatus's earlier homepage statement that the Emperor Dungeon exploit was fixed was too broad; this warning replaces that reassurance.
