I'm at the point where you need to drop the second barrier by destroying the towers that have the electric graphic. I've swept the area multiple times and all towers are down, even ones without the light, yet the barrier is still up. Is there are a hidden tower, or one far away from the rest, or have I stumbled onto another bug?

There is a nest tower you need to take out with Fire Sphere (don't recall if you can get close enough to use Dragon Burst). I don't recall how close it was to the 4 ballistas.

Yea, got that one purely out of frustration... I rode the edge of the line and used the skill when it was up. It was only able to take out one ballista which I'm assuming is the one you are talking about. Oddly it was Dragon Burst that got it (despite the description saying doesn't work on towers) as the sphere is absorbed almost immediately by the barrier.

So, there is no issue? Or there is? Can you make short video about the issue?

No all towers down, barrier still up. Does D2 allow screen shot function. Rather not install FRAPS just for this one bug when the list is mounting and the culprit seeming to be Impulse DD version only.

There is no built-in screenshot function (or there wasn't in D2:ED, anyway), but you can use the PrintScreen button and exit or alt-tab out of the game to paste into a graphics program. I'm not sure what features were added to Windows 7 Paint, but many image viewers (such as IrfanView, etc) can crop and do simple edits.

There are also various Screenshot Programs you could use. That topic is fairly old; a couple programs that I saved links for but haven't gotten around to trying yet are Gadwin PrintScreen and MWSnap, or check out some listed here.

BTW which barrier is it? Is it the one separating the estuary from the cliffs, the barrier on the terraces, etc.? Can you grab a screenshot of the map location as well or at least describe it. The barriers surrounding the harbor do not come down. There's a path you walk to reach each location.

Screenshot won't tell much, video would be nice.

This has been resolved with the latest Impulse patch. From what I can tell, the towers fell but the electric field was still there. After the patch, I didn't have to re-destroy anything all barriers were down. Thanks Larian for a quick response! Now I have time to finish this before DA2, yay.
