Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Frozen during interaction

When in the Dank Crypt, game play freezes for any character that interacts with the Book of Dead Gods after rolling to unlock. It doesn't matter how I choose to interact (arcane, strength, etc), if I choose a companion to interact, or if I pass or fail the roll. I've tried waiting a few minutes in case of some "lag" and hitting spacebar, but they don't work.

I have found only one thing that works - I choose a companion, have them move the rest of the party to another area of the crypts, and then switch back to the one interacting with the book while they are still in another area. It will then advance the narrator text for me.

There is a similar bug, maybe the same bug: If you open a conversation with a character who is not the MC, and the conversation brings in a different character to converse, the conversation freezes when trying to roll a die. I never discovered a workaround; I might have to try your method.

I hit this exact same bug, doesn't matter the outcome of the roll.

I encountered the same bug. Didn't matter if it was main character with arcana check or Gale with wizard check. Gale is kinda stuck now, I finished the rest of the crypt, even went to camp (by walking and fast traveling) and I think I'll have to reload and skip that book.

I found that to get my character out of the dialogue I could destroy the book with main hand attack from another character.

I have the same issue at the same place with the latest patch. I didn't have this problem previously.

I have this same bug, and your solution of moving the rest of the group to a different area did not work for me. ):

Edit: Destroying the book fixed my character, and gave me a scroll which in assuming is the purpose for the skill check. So that's a solution for now.

Bumping this, because I have the same problem. Moving companions into a different room, neither out of the entire soon through the crypt door, worked for me so in the end I just shot the book down to free my character from it.
