It seems in my exploring I might have screwed my henchmens side quests just a bit. I already entered and completed Stone's flying fortress thingo before I even started doing the side quests to upgrade my towers quarters, and it seems that you need to kill Stone to get a ring... but because I've killed Stone already, when I talked to Igor for to get a quest the quest did not appear in my log...

Anybody know of a workaround? I would have asked of a console command for it, but as I've read I believe the console is locked... am I screwed?

I am suffering from the same issue.
Any way to fix it?

What does Igor say about the ring, or the platform, and did you talk to him a second time?

Did you try talking to Sassan and see if you can upgrade the necromancer platform? If you didn't finish the upgrade for the first quest, that could be why you are not getting the second quest. Alternately, if you did, maybe the second quest is already completed and you just need to talk to Sassan for the upgrade.

I've killed quest related NPCs and looted associated quest items before getting the relevant quest, without any problems. I didn't pick Igor in D2:ED or DKS, though.


Are you playing the original release of D2:ED, or DKS / D2:DC? With D2:DC, the Developer Mode can be used to give the character equipment, which may include Stone's Ring. Someone did find a way to activate the developer console in DKS, though I don't know if it could give specific equipment (AFAIK DKS saves are compatible with the D2:DC release, so it would be easier to get someone to try the official developer console).

IIRC what happened was that I killed stone.
Much later I finished Igors quest 1, He made NO mention of quest 2.

Then a lot later I went and sold stone's ring.

When I sold stone's ring (which was sitting in my inventory for a while), only then next time I spoke to Igor the dialog asking me to get Igor stone's ring came up.

He mentioned it once and never spoke of it again. Nor does sassan. And it did not appear in journal. there is nothing more he says to me nor sassan.

I have done so for many other quests and it usually had no problem. But this time it does pose a problem, and it actually matters since this is your tower and not some random "get XP and some gold" quest.

I am playing the developers cut.

I tried giving myself the ring, no change.
I still cannot say anything relevant to igor or sassan.

I believe the core issue is the quest being broken not the item missing. I need to somehow trigger the quest, then give myself the ring (possible spawn and kill stone first)

I don't seem to have a way to do that though

Normally the game handles getting a quest item early fine. Maybe it just doesn't check that properly for this quest?

Try emailing support@larian.com, with a description of the problem and maybe a link to this topic.

It was never a quest item for me. I appeared in my regular items the first time around.
And when I spawned a new one using developer's cut edition that one also spawned in my regular inventory (it appears under jewelry not under quest items)

I went ahead and emailed them. Thank you

Equipment quest items show up in the relevant equipment category, rather than the quest item category. They should still be marked as quest items, though, so normally they can not be sold, destroyed or sent to the battle tower.

Taltamir's savegame has book of the dead and black ring's ring as completed in his quest journal.
Also, his necromancer platform has been upgraded to level 2. So, in essence, there is nothing wrong with the game's progress.

Is it possible the quest completion was simply missed because of turning intwo quests at the same time?

If not, you can always post here or contact us with a savegame.

Thank you Larian QA.
It must have indeed turned in both as you said.

Since it did upgrade my platform then I believe what I missed out on is only some dialog, a bit of XP, and the skill book awarded for the second quest (which I Can just give myself using the developer's cut)
