Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Are teleport stones meant to vanish after Act 2?

Hi all,

I've only recently acquired the teleporter stones in Act 2, and now they've vanished again, with no explanation. Is this supposed to happen, or is it yet another bug?

At the end of Act2 when the messenger from Asmodheus turns up I have both stones in my inventory. When the cut scene has played and I arrive at the Demon's place (to play riddle games) they've gone, and they don't come back when Act3 gets going outside the temple/town location.

Am I going to get them back any time soon please, or should they have stayed with me, or what??

I've tried reloading and replaying that part several times but they always disappear.

I'm starting to really lose faith in this game - it's getting hard to tell what is yet another wretched bug, what is just poor editing or continuity work, and what is a genuine error or misunderstanding on my part.... GRRRRR! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

Can anybody tell me if I did something wrong, whether it's a bug, or whether they were supposed to disappear?

Thanks.

Normally they're supposed to stay with you (they only vanish after A3). Are you sure the stones weren't transfered to your other char?
And have you installed the latest patch? (I believe this was a bug that is supposed to be fixed)

Thanks for such a speedy reply Desdemona. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

No the stones aren't on the other character. And I have no patches. 20+ megs is just too much to download on my dial up connection, it would take literally hours.

The release version in Australia is something like 1.32, and it only came out here a few days ago. I would have thought that after all the time that has passed since its German release they could have fixed more bugs before releasing it here. Apparently not... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

I've had bug after bug after bug with this game. I wish developers would plan their games to suit the budget they have, rather than getting overambitious and then releasing stuff that's not properly tested and finished, because they run out of time and money.

I really enjoyed DD, but this is a pretty poor effort by comparison. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

I think installing the patch should work.
You can, of course, continue without the teleporter stones. There is one BF key you won't be able to reach without the teleporter stones, but not the last (or the first, so...). There are also ground teleporters in A3, they cover most of the ground. And you can go to the BF if sth goes wrong...
