Hello!
I have several problems with Wyll's quest where you have to visit Ansur, making me unable to finish the quest (I play co-op with a friend). It's the Wyrmway quest where you have to solve the different puzzles in the Wyrmway. We have the paintings (Chamber of Justice), the chessboard (the chamber of strategy), the place where you have to tell who of the three people are too much of a zealot (the chamber of insight) as well as the chamber where you have to keep the torch alive for 5 rounds (the chamber of courge). Out of three of these chambers, there were bugs that we just barely were able to bypass, but when we came to the Ansur battle, there was nothing we could do to progress afterwards. Ok, that's the overview; let me give you some details!
1. When I enter Wyrm's Crossing, everything is unexplored. I'm not sure if this was intended or not, but I have for certain checked the whole map before. When I enter Anur's hideout, where all the challenges are, that's when things start to become buggy. The first fight with the undead is totally OK, but the challenges themselves are not.
2. Chamber of Courage: The elementals are already summoned at the start of the battle with the undead. Usually, you have to get a torch and stay alive for 5 turns. Now we just killed all the elementals together with the undead guardians. When we got the torch, there was no count down timer. We had to reload, make one person invisible, get up to the torch and activate it without aggroing anything. Then the timer started.
3. Chamber of Insight: When we killed the books, we could not interact or read them. We knew which one was evil of the people you needed to kill, so it didn't stop us.
4. Chamber of Strategy: We chess pieces are glitched into each other and stand in weird ways on the chessboard, like turned on their axis a bit, or just clumped together and fused into eachother. We can't interact with the chess pieces (We get a: You can't do that right now or something similar, when we click on them). We checked and you can just destroy the piece that need to be destroyed with lightning, so we did that and it worked.
5. That is three bugs in three chambers. We have now completed all the challenges, only not getting locked out of the quest by sheer luck. That is about to change. We open the door to Ansur's chamber and walk down. The statue of Balduran that guards the last door into his lair looks strange, like there's two statues fised together, but one of them is slightly to the side. This is only visible when you talk to him. We talk to him, he opens the door and there is Ansur, I think. He is laying on a pile of untextured boxes, his body is not moving, but his head is floating in the air. The ghost on Ansur, a dragonborn model with 10 hp, is standing behind him. We enter and there is combat. No cutscenes or dialogue, just a fight with a floating head and a weird skeletal draconic body that's sliding around on the floor.
6. We could defeat the dragon, but alas. The quest does not continue. No cutscene. There's a few things on the dragon that I take and read, but the quest marker is still on Ansur's body. I can't progress the story, which made my friend very sad since she was romancing Wyll. I go and pick up Baldurian's Helmet that is resting on two untextured blocks. The End.
If there's anything you guys can do to help, I would greatly appreciate it.
What I've tried:
1. To check if it was the mods that were the problem I started the save with all mods disabled. I entered into Ansur's lair and he was still resting on untextured blocks, Ansur's ghost was standing behind him. There was no cutscene when I entered, and after killing him (he didn't come to life, the only thing that moved was his floating head) there was no way to end the quest.
2. I have tried to verify the files.
3. I have removed the mods from the appdata and Larian folders, reinstalled the game. Same thing.
4. I have tried to go back to an earlier save, where I had just started the day (in Elfsong Tavern). I walked to the transition to Wyrm's Crossing, fought all the guards and went down to the Wyrmway. Same problems.
Anyone got any ideas what I might try, or should I cut my losses?
Minecraft AnsurPS I have opened a ticket to Larian last week, but they seem pretty busy at the moment. I'll poke them later this week.
