Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General Sword In Stone

Hello again I found and pulled the sword from the stone which relised the whatever so i kicked it's keister and left I get down 2 where the Urn Hunter's r and an Elf tells me 2 stick the sword back in the stone!!! All well and good but wot i would like 2 know is "Do you actully need 2 put the sword back or can U keep it"??. Plus when i try 2 duplicate something I.E Sword/Gold etc the game crashes, do's this happen 2 any 1 else and if so ,did they get around it?? I installed the patch but it didn't make any diffrence!..

Thank's Gameorama

Unless you want to have that ghost running around and killing everything you have to stick the sword back. Sad but true <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />.

Übereil

You can always use the duplication trick...

I defeated the ghost once then morphed him into a rabbit. He wasn't exactly the bunny of death.

I think he said the duplication trick isn't working for him.

It should work. I duplicated restoration potions in my game with no problems. Are you doing it a certain way?

Ok, missed that. But the polymorph trick sounds nice enough.

Do's he kill Every one or jus the people in the dark forest cos if thats's the case il do the dark forest quests and yes I am using this method 4 duplicating [Selecet the item] [bring it out of box] [Dont let go and do a quicksave] then do a [Quick Load] I also tried the trick where u enter a negetive number by holding control that crashed as well so if i get the polymoprh spell and turn im into a rabbit!!!! I get 2 keep da sword????

lol Thanks 4 ya help

Did you download the patch? I think the patch stops duping, I'm not entirely sure

The ghost just kills people in the Dark Forest. I don't know if he gets as far as the dwarven halls, but he will kill the urn hunters and most of the elves in the village.


Try quicksaving before starting the drag and drop to duplicate; ie quick save the game, then drag an item out of your inventory, but not somewhere there is a red X. Without dropping first, quick load the game, then release the mouse button when it starts to load. This should produce a copy of the item on the ground, with the original still in your inventory.

If you try the other duplication trick on a small stack of potions and enter a small negative number, does the game still crash?
Drag a stack out of (or into) your inventory (or container) and hold down the control key before dropping. This will bring up the split stack pane; type in a negative number and hit enter (the checkmark will be greyed out). This can also be done in the trade window.

Both methods should still work in the patched game.

Yes Thank You Raze that method worked fine so it apperars i get 2 keep da sword and still gain the experiance points!!!! hey that means in theory I can get unlimited experance points on that quest!! Sweeeet!!

As for the negertive trick i didn't try it becasue the pervious dupliction did the trick.

Er I jus completed the talking statue in necron's statue and i picked up 3 followers am i ment 2 do anything with them as ther's nothing listed in the quests and if not can i kill em outta hand?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

There is nothing further to be done with the 3 cult members. They should leave you alone when you exit the garden. If you want to kill them, you can use an area effect spell that doesn't need a target (such as Poison Cloud) to kill them without loosing any reputation (cast it near, but not directly on them).

There were 2 tricks for duplicating that I used. And yes, I have my game patched and they still worked. However the negative number trick appears to have been fixed as my game wouldn't let me click the check mark.

The 2 tricks I used.
Both start out the same way. Save game. Open inventory. Drag item from inventory. While item is still attached to the cursor press L to open the load window. Release item over the load window. The item will remain stuck to the cursor.

Trick one: Select a game to load and accept. The item you were dragging will appear in your inventory in the game you loaded. If you loaded the game you just saved you'll have twice as many as you were dragging. If you loaded a different save this allows you to transport items from one to another. Be aware that armor and weapons won't have stats if you didn't have that item previously in that save because of the items.000 file.

Trick two: Drag the cursor off the load window and onto the inventory window. You'll hear it drop. You'll also notice you can no longer click on anything. Press Esc three times. The first closes the load window, the second takes you to the main menu screen, the third resumes your game. The game will be paused from opening the load window. When you unpause the game the items appear will in your inventory. This doesn't involve loading in anyway so you can't transport items from one save to another but it also mean you don't have to wait for your save to load and is the quicker method if you were just going to duplicate items in the same save.

You're supposed to kill 4 frogs. After you do that the followers will huddle around the statue. Killing the frogs opens a portal, I think this is the light they want you to lead them to.

The checkmark in the split stack window is disabled with a negative number entered, but you can still hit the Enter key.

Oh, hadn't thought of that. Interesting note, with 2 restoration potions if I drop -1 of them on the ground I wind up with 3 in my inventoy an 255 on the ground.

The sword in the stone is good. if posible duplicating it will allow you to keep it and trap the ghost again

necron wanted them to go in a CELLER!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Maybe he wanted them to transform into frogs. The statue is down there.

I don't think so. You could also leave the undisturbed beauty of the park alone ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

This is what I did.

I didn't want to kill some living beings just for golden shiny metal. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

That's nice.
