Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Help/Tips/Tricks War of the Stones bugged

Just got done killing all of the orcs except for this one who runs from the wizards house, all the way to the Knights tomb and repeats this pattern in a loop. All of the mountain men NPCs follow him around and he cannot be hurt. This is making it impossible to finish the quest.
I have tried to reload and it still happens. Any ideas?

It seems trading with him before combat fixes it, he is the orc next to the 1 horned guy near the entrance right? Just give every ork there 1 gold and he should be killable.

Until larian patches it ;p

This quest is hella bugged for me. First it starts out with just the orcs hostile to me, then everyone ends up being hostile, even the cat and skeleton guy.

Just nuke them all ;p

My problem is even worse. I talk to Jahrl, he confronts the Orcs and when they transform into the uber-Orcs he dies instantly. I retried a few times, its always the same issue. Due to that, all the human warriors turn against me, too, and I gotta kill everybody. Is there a way around it? Thanks!

Where can I find Leonard?

Jahrl is Leonard, before getting them to fight each other, you have to barter with the Orc next to One Horned due?

Never had any problem with invincible orcs on that quest, but Jahrl does die instantly when the fighting starts. I also had those Mountain Warriors go red on me, along with the cat but not the skeleton. Mountain Warriors elsewhere in the village remained yellow to me though, in spite of me being extremely indiscriminate with AoE spells.

I had the running orc problem too, I'll try the workaround next. As for Jahrl dying, that seemed like what was supposed to happen to me -- that's why Grutilda taunts him and says, in so many words, "take this!" At least, that's how I understood it. Did he live through it for anyone else?

Edit: That orc next to the one-horned guy was indeed the problem. When I ran back and gave him a gold piece he didn't bug. When I didn't give him a gold piece and watched what happened, he took off madly running.

Edit 2: If for some reason you find you can't talk to this orc - or anyone else before this event - have your companion talk to them first, then it should let you do it (so Madora, then you). I've also noticed another bug with the event in Co-op - if you're party is split (such as one of you keeping an eye on the running orc and the other one watching Grutilida) then all the mobs go hostile instead of some of them staying your neutral allies.

I make Grutilda kill the Ratmanager and the both Lovers. I can't make her to kill the okrs who lost the key. Is there a way to manage this?

Are there other orks who can make killed by Grutilda?

You can also have her kill the orc trading tenebrium wares, by telling her of his little scheme.

I found another solution to the Untargetable ORC running around.

Kill him before the battle begins. I used Featherfall to move him to a safe location and then disposed of him.

Also this can be done for the majority of the other Orcs too.

PS. I tried the trading trick but that failed for me.

First talk to the orc about the lost key, then speak to Grutilda about the missing key, and she goes off and kills him.

You need proof he lost the key, in other Words you need the key, to show her. However I found it more rewarding giving the key to the orc who lost it, and then being able to kill him later for more reward (including key)

I have killed all the orcs and mountain warrior and looks like I'm stuck. I have the key with me. What should I do?
