Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Devourer's Claws

I have noticed others have encountered the same issue outside of these forums but haven't seen anything in here.

I have been sorely disappointed encountering this bug, to say the least. I recently finished the quest to obtain the Devourer's armour set, only to find the Claws (gloves) would not boost to level 20 and complete the set. Instead, they remain at the level they have been since I first found them (level 8) and state (1/5) pieces worn of the set when all other pieces are worn. Conversely, the other armour pieces have (4/5) pieces worn stated and have been boosted to their respective level 20 stats, skills, and passives. That said, the set-effect of Devourer's Slumber is activated wearing the full set in spite of wearing the considerably weaker level 8 gloves.

I have no clue what triggered this and have gone so far as to reload saves all the way up from when I first arrived at the lizard consulate, tried every dialogue option, put the set on before finishing the quest, putting it on only after finishing the quest, putting pieces on in a different order, selling the gloves to a vendor and repurchasing them, dropping the entire set and attempting it again in all combinations thereof. I have reloaded and tried all dialogue options prior to quest completion, and both outcomes for the quest in the dream state. None of this has worked. I have backed up and verified my game files on steam also to no avail.

In extension to this I also encountered a bug on my first playthrough of this quest, where the autosave (at the moment before going into the dream state to encounter the Devourer) made me unable to talk to NPCs at all. Loading a prior save fixed this, however, I am unsure if this caused the bug.

Any solutions or bugfixing updates mentioning this bug specifically are greatly appreciated.
Can't stress enough how disappointing this has been, and sad to have wasted hours trying to find a solution...

Were you wearing the Devourer's Claws when you first equipped the full Captain's set?
This is a known issue, which should be fixed in the next update (no ETA yet).

It's very possible that I was! Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to avoid doing so on subsequent campaigns.

I am sad to have encountered this exact problem. I even thought I was being cheeky upgrading everything to level 8 back in fort joy.

Now my devourers armor set is broken and its not like i'll replay the game again. Sad day. Sad times. I guess some of the other parts are pretty good

The next game update has been finalised, and should be released soon (no ETA; I think the Switch version has started the submission process, while the other versions finish testing).
