Greetings!
First time posting on the forum,so I hope to do everything right! ;)
Here we go...

On Dragon's Eye I think I've found a bug,because I got the information about Thorasskus and when I confront the child with this he just asks for "mommy"...
I suppose I need to kill him to get the south-east door open, am I right?

now,since I can't get Thorasskus hostile how do I manage to open the door?

Thanks

In order to turn Thorasskus hostile, let a paladin talk to him to detect that he is evil (that is if you have a paladin). If you don't have a pally, go back to Nheero and talk about Thorasskus, who is actually a Yuan-ti High Priest disguised as a child.

yeah...
I did that already,but the boy just keeps asking for his momy...
that's why I would like to know if there's a way to end this bug

(I don't have a paladin)

Still doesn't work? Awwww...

But you have to remember that Nheero needs time to finish his research. Try resting a couple of times before talking to Nheero again about Thorasskus.

hmmm...ok
I'll try to rest a couple of times and then I'll speak to him again


edit:

nop...
just rested twice in a row, spoke both times with Nheero and he just tells me the samething...
and Thorasskus stays the same...
I'm seeing that I'll have to end my adventure right here :(

try importing a paladin :p

Maybe a visit to Kuldahar will let enough time pass.

IIRC resting two times is not enough to make Nheero change dialog.

I believe you have to rest 5-6 times or something like that. He is not the fastest one in the book :)

Well, I believe Ironhawk is right. A friend of mine rested 3 times to get Nheero to talk. Try resting 5 or more times just to be sure.

ok,just for the record... tried to import a paladin and had him talk to the child: same result...
will try to rest a month :p


edit:

rested about 8 times and it's all the same =\

ok...
now that I'm on holidays I would like to sink deeper in the matter!
I still can't make him hostile!
is there anyway to contact the game developers?
I've googled for Icewind Dale 2 but only found forums and sites related to the game =\

The company that's made IWD2 has more or less gone out of business years ago, so there is no official support any more. Fan forums are your only option.

so...I suppose I'll have to put ID2 back to the box...
a shame...

No need f that.
Almost a same thing happens to me in my very first run on the game.
After a few unsuccefull attemps, and "hell knows why" the next time game it just pass trough.
After a while, somebody told me that probably one of the mods I´ve installed lately, fixed the problem.I´m not shure wich one, but I bet all my money on the EoUse mod.
Please somebody correct me if I´m wrong.

so...if I install that mod the problem will probably go away?
it's just because I wouldn't like to start things all over again =\

Drider, one option is to restart Dragon's Eye entirely from one of the autosaves. An annoying option, to be sure.

But perhaps I can debug your problem.

Where is "the kid" when you talk to him now? And what *exactly* is the first thing that he says when you initiate a dialog? (I want to look at his dialog file and see what conditions might be required, etc.)

Drider, what exactly have you tried so far?

Talking to Thorasskus with a Paladin has never worked for me, either.
Did you get get the answer from Nheero? If not, keep in mind that resting alone is not enough. IIRC you have to pass real time inside Dragon's Eye- leave the party someplace safe, go take a nap and return later, he should have the answer by then.

Alternatively read the sign at the entrance to Dragon's Eye with a high Int character (import one if there isn't any in your party) and then confront Thorasskus with that character- this always makes him angry in my games.

Don't quit the game over a little bug like that; use the cheat console to set whatever flags are needed to advance to the next zone.

crucis:

I don't know how to give you the exact location of the boy,but here's a screenshot of him and his answer:

senex:

Haven't tried out that hight INT character examining the entrance,but here are some screenshots from Nheero and his answers,I think that they are the only ones you can get from him,but...:

Thanks for the info, Drider. Let me check this out and I'll get back to you.

EDIT:

OK, Drider, it looks like somehow the engine didn't set a couple of variables properly or you somehow didn't kill all of the Efreeti assassins.

Regardless, open the Cheat Console and type in:


ctrlaltdelete:SetGlobal("AfterDeadAssassins","LOCALS",0)
ctrlaltdelete:SetGlobal("61NumEfreetiKilled","GLOBAL",10)
This should trigger the dialog branch that will let you proceed.

thanks! that really did the trick!

I don't know if I killed the high priest now... because when the battle "ended" I was still receiving messages from the acid damage I was inflicting on him,but now I can progress to the next room ;)

my thanks again!
