Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Elevator and Prison Cell button.

I've made it into the Battle Tower.

I made it to the prison cells, and of course there's a glitch with the guards not fighting and being easily killed off.

There's a prisoner who just stands there at the entrance to his cell waving. Open the cell, he's still there waving and blocks entering into the cell.
Anything important in this cell?

Next, it appears that another cell has a wooden beam support. I think there's a button on the support. Is there? If so why does it not work?

Last, I went on down to the elevator and can't seem operate it, no matter what button combination I try.

Please help me.

God I hope I don't have to reinstall the game for a fourth time.

By the way, I'm using the PC version.

Getting near the prisoner's cell should trigger a conversation, where he tells you about a hidden storage room in the cell with the wooden beams (in the cell diagonally opposite from the prisoner, the left beam should have a button to remove a false wall).

Before getting to the prisoner, though, there should have been a cutscene with the undead Sassan, where the passage to the elevator was blocked by a cave-in, requiring you to get into the storage room in order to clear the way.


One other person ran into this problem, but after finishing off the remaining bandits on the path outside, it worked properly (Xbox360 US: Complex Beneath the Battle Tower).

If that doesn't help, do you have a recent save before entering the battle tower? If so, I'd reload to be on the safe side, and head back to Broken Valley (otherwise do so in yout latest save). If there was just a glitch loading the battle tower, maybe when you return the initial cutscene will get triggered and everything else will work properly.
Hopefully it is just the game waiting for the bandits to get wiped out, though.

Thank you for the help.

I haven't seen the cut seen with Sassan.

I'll check my saves and check to make sure all critters are dead.

It appears I've somehow bypassed something.

The path up to the battle tower does branch, with one way leading to the bandit camp entrance and the other to a locked door and teleporter shrine. If you didn't run past any bandits, maybe there are just some on the other path.
