Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Earth Elemental King

I am where the earth elemental king is....but when I click on him it does nothing. The dialog does not start up. What's wrong with it and is there a way to fix it without having to load a saved game?

The cut scene does not get triggered if you approach the elemental? What about the teleporter pad?
Do you have the quest to investigate the strange teleportations? If not, read the billboard near the entrance to the temple complex (click on it a few times), then talk to Serrick in the building to the far north of the teleporter pad / elemental king.

There's supposed to be a cutscene? No cutscene triggers. I had look through all the postings on the billboard at the beginning of the act....do you think I should read them yet again? I don't appear to have the teleporter quest in my book, but I have already talked to the guy to get it and he told me to do it. When I go back and talk to him, judging by his dialog, he thinks I already have the quest....and I should. I am definitely lost on what could fix this...where exactly should the cutscene trigger? When I first saw the king it was shortly after a teleportation (he came from the west and fought the other elements with me). I have gone to the teleporter, of course it doesn't do anything until I have the gem from the king.

The elemental king should automatically start a conversation as you approach (even if he is in the middle of a fight). In that conversation, you can either convince him to give you the teleporter piece (after which he turns hostile), or demand it (in which case he turns hostile, summons help and drops the piece when defeated).
If he will not speak to you, can you attack him (perhaps with splitting arrows or an area effect spell that does not need a target), and see if he drops the teleporter piece?

You need the quest entry from the billboard to get into Serrick's building to talk to him, so the missing entry may just be a glitch (or be filtered). Do you have the latest patch installed? (1.47 fixes a couple act 3 quest log problems)

Thankyou for your help. After you mentioned that a cutscene should play I thought it might be triggered by location instead of where the king is. I look up on a map where the king should start from/be at first. I went to that location (the king was no where near there) and the cutscene started, causing the screen to go to where the king was currently at. So apparently if the king wanders away from his starting point to help you in battle, you have to go to where he started out to get the cutscene.
