Hi,

In the first level, I noticed that there were some big bosses waiting on the third level of each battlefield dungeon, and that these were the goal of the quests that I had received. However, the second of these dungeons was completely empty of all creatures on all levels when I entered for the first time.

Now I am in the second chapter of the game. After finding the first dungeon key, I went there. Fought my way down to the third level, and found it completely empty. No Boss, no quest items. Next I found the second dungeon key, and have just fought my way down to the third level, and again, completely empty. No bosses, no quest items.

What is wrong here? I have the game patched with the latest patch.

Regards,

Hi, Coolsti, and welcome, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

BF dungeons are generated randomly, therefore you may find this in the last lvl:
1. all boss monsters/quest items
2. no boss monster/quest items
3. 1 boss monster/quest items

Another thing is this => it depends on WHEN you patched. If you patched AFTER visiting the BF for the first time, nothing will change in the current act, as generation has already occured, but the next chapter will be better.

Hi Kiya,

I patched after I visited first act BG already, but now I am in the 2nd act, and had been patched beforehand.

If what you are saying is true, does that mean I will find the bosses/quest items in the remaining dungeon? Or possibly not at all. Now I have all the quests, have been through two dungeons, and haven't found any quest items.

I hope, you will find them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> - you have 6 dungeons in Act 2, so 4 more to go <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Ok, now I have continued a bit in Act 2. Got the 3rd and 4th dungeon keys, and found the 3rd level of the 3rd dungeon to be completely empty. So far, the 3rd level of dungeons 1, 2 and 3 have been empty. Went to the 4th dungeon, and there was not even an entryway to get past the 1st level! I looked everywhere, nope not there.

Unfortunately, I think I have to quit the game now. I have teleporters that refuse to work, and my two heroes are stuck behind the lava after getting Act 2's battlefield level 6 key.

Too buggy, I gotta find another game.

Unfortunately, sometimes the BF dungeon entrances are partly or completely hidden behind walls, though may still show up as a bit of blue on the auto map. Moving your mouse cursor around while going over the level again can also find it. More rarely, the entrance can be placed outside the dungeon section you are in, with no direct access.

You can still get past the lava outside the water elemental cave;
Teleporting anywhere (via hex editor)

Did the teleporter stone just stop working, or did one get stuck or something when you tossed it over the lava to get to the cave? One person who got a teleporter stone stuck in a bush had better luck picking it up again by zooming in. You may be able to replace them if that doesn't help;

Hi,

thanks for the reply. Seems like the secondary skills icons "drop teleporter and use" and "use teleporter" do not always work. I got away from the lava problem by putting the teleporter in my inventory, then clicking on it there.

I finished the 6 dungeons of act 2, sort of. Could not find a way down to a second level in two of the six! In the last dungeon, either the 5th or the 6th, I found 3 of the quest items on the 3rd level, no bosses or monsters around, but I am giving up on solving the other quests. Could be that there is an entrance to the lower levels hidden somewhere, as you say, but I just don't want to spend so much time looking for them.

Regards,
Steve

I had problems using those buttons as well, so I got into the habit of doing all my teleport stone stuff manually. Works out much better as you can place them exactly where you want them and use them as shortcuts to pass long stretches of looping terrain if you throw them across lava flows and such.
Good luck with the rest of the game.
