Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Return to Alchemist problem

I thought I posted this yesterday but I don't see it. I must have fat fingered it.

In Act II I have all the ingredients the Alchemist sent me for but when I return to his cave he, nor his patients, are there. Am I missing something? I belive I have cleared the whole area accept the treasure cave in the south east area beyond the lava.

Thanks,

If you check the min-map, are there any green crosses in the alchemist's cave? The two patients will be gone (intimidated into returning by the shaman), but the alchemist should still be there.

Nope, no crosses. I checked that. Errr.. actualy let me refrase that. No crosses inside the room. One time I saw a green cross but it was outside the room just outside the wall and when I went over to where is was I couldn't click on it. I chocked this up to a similar bug I saw mentioned earlier about seeing crosses in black areas on the mini-map.

hmm, ok yes, the cross I see outside of the room is green. Caould this be the Alchemist? How can I get to him?

Ok, I followed the instructions on hex editing the save game and put myself a few block outside the room. Then I was able to talk to the Alchemist and contiue the game. I am going to, however, have to restore an older save so I can finish the other quests in the village.

Glad you found the alchemist. You can give him the ingredients and have him make the cure, but as you found, once you talk to him again and head to the village, the plot turns linear until the end of the act.

When i was able to go back to complete that quest, i saw the same thing but the alchemist was there, just really hard to see. The alchmist was up along side a wall that was between your vision, and him. I ended up just running the cursor all over the map until i just happened to put the cursor over him and his stats window popped up. He should be in there, i think you can hold the alt key and he will appear. If that doesn't work go into sneak mode and the map will turn dark, and all characters in the game will be shrouded in red light. This would definately make him visable.
