I was doing Sato on my level 50 privateer. On the 4th floor, i sadly died. But, knowing that there was a 30 minute timer before it reset, i quickly went afk for 10 minutes, came back to see i was still logged into the game, and then went into sato. Then, a pirate without even asking joined me at the sigil in the last second. So, when i entered into the dungeon, it said i had to defeat the yakooze lieutennant at the first floor, meaning i had went into the session of the pirate who'd joined. I knew this was wrong, so i went out of it immediately, found a different realm where he wasn't bugging me, and went into sato. I'm not sure how, but it said i had to start from the beggining by defeating the yakooza lieutennant. I checked and i didn't go past 30 minutes, so i don't understand why i can't go to the 4th floor like i'm meant to be. Is it because of the person who joined? Is this a bug? It's really frustrating, as just for losing i have to do 3 battles that i've already done.

Unfortunately for you this isn't a bug or glitch, but rather a mechanic that has existed since wizard101. Even though there is a timer, your dungeon will reset if you switch realms, or someone joins when re-entering the dungeon so that the new person doesn't get to skip most of the necessary battles and head straight for the main boss.

My suggestion is to try placing a marker once your inside the dungeon so that if you die you can teleport straight back into it. I'm not sure this will work in pirate101, but this method generally works for me when playing the Aquila dungeons in Wizard101.

Other than that, use your experience here with dungeon resetting as an aid when farming dungeon bosses.

I hope I've helped and that you have fun in the spiral .

Good tips except you are right in your guess, you cannot leave a mark inside a dungeon in Pirate101.
