To get the technical information out of the way: I'm playing on PC, Steam version, with Primal Calling and Lost Valley DLCs. Game version is 1.3.82 b - Public.
For this playthrough I mostly sided with the Forge and the People factions, but in the end I decided to fight my way through the redeemers. When my party leaves the redeemer's cave, only the first screen of the ending sequence triggers where it say something like "You finally managed to leave the valley and return to Masgarth." However, after that the screen goes black and the game freezes. Nothing about who is or isn't on the throne, nothing about where Marin Ving is, nothing about the research complex. It's just a black screen, no sound, nothing, the game just freezes there.
There was no such freeze in a previous playthrough of Lost Valley where I sided with the people and went for the good ending (re-unified Orenetis-Sitenero on throne, getting out of the valley with the magical item that controls the redeemers).
Update (2022-07-26): This freeze still occurs with the version 1.3.85 - Public, but background sound keeps playing during the freeze.
Update (2022-07-26), part 2: For reference, there is an older thread by someone else describing the same bug: Leave the Valley for Nothing

Hello,
I've got the exact same bug than you, but with Orenetis-Sitenero reunified and with the redeemers scepter !
I've done the same but with the Rebellion ending, and with the Forge ending (I saved after having cleaned all the secret complex and just before talking to Sitenero, but also before launching faction quests like The Rebellion rises or The renewal)
Both worked fine (Rebellion and Forge endings), no black screen, but I've still got it with the Orenetis-Sitenero...
I have the same issue when trying to complete the Orenetis-Sitenero ending on both PC and Xbox. I have completed every other ending without any issues. Hopefully it will be fixed soon!
I have the same issue as the above post with the latest PC version on Steam. All other endings completed successfully. Scenario below:
SPOILERS AHEAD...
Trying to complete the Orenetis-Sitenero ending for the A New Golden Age achievement.
Walked past the redeemers and travelled to the GROTTO EXIT. Clicking the GROTTO EXIT does not take me to the GROTTO ENTRANCE, which is the expected behavior so that i can travel to the MERCHANT CAMPSITE to talk to Galar Goidentongue to complete the 'A Safe Passage' quest. Instead, clicking the GROTTO EXIT takes me to the end game cutscene, but only plays the first part (you finally managed to leave the valley....) then gives a frozen black screen with sound. A New Golden Age achievement does not register.
Deleting the most recent save file (iron man mode) that was auto-saved by clicking the GROTTO EXIT and then relaunching the game ends up showing the party outside of the GROTTO ENTRANCE, but the map is completely empty (no locations or fast travel arrows), and I can only move the party a limited distance (just inside the cave or just outside of it).
Please advise if you need any additional details, save files, etc. to help investigate this issue. Thanks!
Hello,
Any update on this ?
I am getting the same issue. 101/102 achievements. This blows. Come on! :P
I had an answer from the support, it will be fixed but not soon:
"It is fixed (internally), however we’re working on a large update so it’s going to take a while (a few months) as there’s quite a few things planned.
Unfortunately due to the size of our studio it’s not possible for us to make minor patches while also working on major updates But to give you a frame of time, it’s probably going to take us a few more months."
Looks like this is now attainable in v1.5.46 Public. I loaded my save game from where it was freezing earlier, and exited the grotto with my party. Although it did not take me to the Merchant Campsite to complete the 'A Safe Passage' quest, it did fire the A New Golden Age achievement and play through the sequence of aftermath sequences to completion. Thanks!
