For a living character stuck in terrain, open ESC → Escape. If that does not work, restart the game, log back in and try Escape again. Those are the recovery steps in the launch response.
Choose the right option after death
The November 7 update clarified the respawn choices:
| Choice | Result |
|---|---|
| Revive Nearby (F) | Revives at the closest location, whether it is a Nui Statue or a Nui Flame. |
| Go Outside (G) | When you die inside a Dimension, respawns you outside it. |
These are death-screen choices. They do not mean that pressing G anywhere will teleport a living character out of any dungeon. Nearby also does not guarantee a particular named statue.
Stuck in a channel instead of terrain?
The November 7 maintenance reports fixes for entering or leaving Seaglass Tower, leaving Malchuk, incorrect respawn-point settings and certain wrong-route entries. Install the update before trying older escape advice.
A channel-exit fix does not guarantee that every boss spawn or party progression fault has been resolved. If movement works but a transition does not, report the location, route used, last death and party state. If you are physically stuck, include a screenshot and say whether both official Escape attempts failed.
Avoid deleting a character or using out-of-bounds routes to force a transition. Customer Support is available from the in-game ESC menu as well as the linked support portal.
