If the 2 mechanisms on the top dont work, then dont use arrows or throwing stuff. For me the only thing that worked was a thrown spear, everything else did not stay active.
I completely forgot to grab The module and just left after I got the mask and Killed the Core Boss. Died once and somehow was able to get back up and continue the fight. I had no idea I couldn't leave the fight haha.
You should go to sound settings in windows and reduce external noise or something, then test your sound that when you talk you don't hear the typings on your keyboard. Lower mic sensitivity until you don't hear yourself typing. Thx for the guide.
