Larian Studios Forums Divinity II The Dragon Knight Saga / Flames of Vengeance (English) Divinity II - The Dragon Knight Saga Stuck in engineer fight

I arrived in Source Square for the engineer fight and killed all enemies, except the troll and the engineer because both are protected by forcefields. I tried the levers but they don't move, reload a save before leaving the crypt without success, even exiting the game and returning isn't working. I'm using the Developer's Cut version.

Did you get a preview of the locations of the 4 levers when you entered? Do the levers have a blue glow effect, indicating they have not been disabled yet?

Can you highlight the levers, but nothing happens when you try to use them, or can you not target them at all?

In the Source Square (before entering the courtyard with the engineer) there is a teleporter shrine. Did you try leaving and returning, to get the game to reload the area to see if that would help? Returning to the battle tower would also get the game to reload the area.

In the Developer Mode cheat menu there is a function to open nearby locks and chests. I don't know if that would work with levers, but it couldn't hurt to try.

In the Forgotten Crypt, if you mindread Skulk 3 times you can learn enough of a spell to tell Abbott so he doesn't have to sacrifice himself at the end of the crypt. Whether he lived or died, you could try the opposite, and see if that makes any difference when you get to the levers (if he is alive he keeps the traps in the courtyard disabled).

I don't get the preview when I entered the area and can highlight the levers but nothing happens when I tried to interact. And they have a blue glow both in the levers and the device attached to them

I tried leaving and returning through the teleport, nothing changes.

The cheat menu doesn't worked but Abbott sacrificing himself activated the cutscene (I noted when I entered Source Square the ambient light were much more red than before)

Edit: I tried again leaving the Abbott alive and worked again, I guess reloading the save just before finding him does the trick, not the one after helping him but before leaving the crypt.

Edit 2: finally managed to finish the fight, thanks for the help!

Engineers...You'll learn to love them!

Glad you got it, and welcome to the forum.

Apparently whatever the glitch was happened when or shortly after you meet Abbott the first time. The ambient light is suppose to be fairly red in the Source Square.

Thanks!
