Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) General First bug I experianced had to be a huge one

ASHEN-SHUGAR here under a new name <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


Well got to the "Lord of Lies" and proceeded to kick his booty... and then his death animation locked up and I cant finish the game. I can run around, I can use my teleporting stones I can go sell stuff to Kroxy and go sleep. But the Demon is locked in place showing red light coming out of his chest and I can no longer interact with him or the child on the altar..

THIS MAKES ME MAD!!

Of course I can reload to my last save (right before entering the LoL's keep) but whats to say it wont happen again.

Anyone else have this happen?

Oh and BTW the new forum is great and everything but you shouldn't have erased the posts from the old forum... instead it would of been better to have locked the forum but left everything intact so we could of used the search feature.

search for the demon of lies, this is the nth thread about this problem, I believe that a solution has been posted already on this forum.

Please, reload, guess: How did you kill him, with freeze, summoning, scorpions, poison? That's the endgame bug. Try another way to get rid of him, he's easy to kill (other spells, your weapon etc). If you really kill him, an endvideo should appear.

Try killing him again alone, without any summoned creatures or hell spikes.

voila, the answers I talked about <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I used my axe of frost, no summons no scorps no hell spikes.

He was frozen during the last hit do you think that might have been the cause?

could be, if you haven't summoned anything, then that would be my guess. hit him almost to death zith frost and then use a normal weapon, see what that gives

Ok I will <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

I sure hope this is one of the fixes in the next patch...

say, you ARE gaming with version 1.000032 right??

Yes, freeze/frost is included in the endgame bug. It was Raze who found out that the killing blow can set off this bug. so, if you switch to another tactic when he's nearly dead it should work.
Kiya

Im playing using the last available patch if thats what you mean <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the help!! Now I am off to kill him again :-/

that's what I meant, good luck !! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" />

Yep that worked.. I knew I saved the singing sword for a reason...

However is it just me or was the ending kinda lame..

My hero walks out holding the baby !?! (I would of thrown it down into the pit)

and then the statue falls.. roll credits? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Bah! I was hoping for more!

most people think that, but please warn that spoiler because some people may read this thread and get upset about knowing what is going to happen in the endgame movie

I see that you helped out in the end of game.

All the reading I have done in this forum makes it sound like it is easy to kill the Lord of Lies. He seems to multiply and I am toast before I kill one or two of him. Is that what is supost to happen?

Thanks for any help you can give me on ending this guy.

I was using a sword with freeze on it until I found out that could cause problems. Now I am trying to do it with just a normal sword with a 83-133 damage.

Peter, how are your resistances? If you concentrate on the Demon and not on his duplicates, he is easy compared to Josephine.
Kiya

You can use freeze, until he's nearly dead = then switch. The endgame bug comes due to the last killing blow.

my game crashed too, during the show of the end but maybe it was just a regular crash as my game tends to crash now and then not too often, showing div div exe errors.
so i guess i might had the same, and yes i used frost aswell ...

My approach:

May not be a big help to you!

As a survivor, went into stealth as soon as I entered. Tried hellspikes from stealth. Nevertheless, the Lord of Lies generated innumerable troublesome foes that attacked PC.

Once this happened, focused all my efforts on Lord of Lies, gobbling down restoration potions (I had 31 on entry, finished with less than 15). This brute force approach did win (though it took me about 4 reloads to do it!)

Oh, dear, I guess a mage has advantages then: I used elemental strike on him, he summoned his allies, but I didn't bother = he went down quickly, ahm - maybe not so easy then??
Kiya, hanging her head in shame

You know you don't have to kill him again. You see, after you kill him, all that happens is you get to see the endgame video, and then the credits. So if this bug occurs, just quit the game, and search the Game CD for the endgame videofile, and you can view it yourself.

I believe you'll need binkplayer to play it though.
