Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Need help: Alchemist won't talk to me!

I had previously wandered down into the Alchemist's cave and
looked around ... long before the Chieftain's son told me to
go and seek him out ... nobody was there at that time.

Now, I've spoken to the chieftain's son and told him of the
cause of the plague and I returned to the cave.

Lo and behold - the Alchemist is there (along with two plague
vitims). The victims will talk to me, but there is no "cut scene"
when I approach the Alchemist, and I'm unable to speak with him!

Will I ever be able to leave Act Two?

The Alchemist quest is a required quest, so if you can't complete it, you won't be able to leave the act.
I'm not sure how to solve your problem, but I believe there was a similar post a few weeks ago. Maybe you can find an answer there if you do a search?

Went back to an earlier save and tried again ... with success ... whew!

Not sure if it made a difference, but the time I had the problem
the DK was party leader - the second time I tried Hero as leader.

Unfortunately, I've tried several times to re-creare the problem
with the saved game without success ... I'm suspecting a memory
leak somewhere since (in my experience) the strangeness seems to
increase the longer my game-playing session is ...

Anyhow ... save often ... as is continually suggested!
