Posted By: Kalindraal BUG: Can't loot corpse with Damaged Helm - 19/07/21 01:34 AM
The corpse that has the Damaged Helm, one of the Quest Items for Shadowheart, is not lootable for me. It keeps saying "Use jump action to reach." despite being literally right infront of me.
Posted By: TheHero items, objects or containers not reachable - 19/07/21 11:26 AM
Patch 5 had several locations where Objects which are holding items cant be reached.
Blighted Village:
Skelleton near the sleeping drunken Bugbear on Housecorner.
Skelleton near the 3 Ogres which normally has old Dark Justiciar Helmet item.

Druid Grove:
Several Bookcases cant be reached in the library where the dead Drow is lying on table.

And surley much more of those similar not reachable locations ingame this Patch 5.
Best Guess a problem with the rendering of Gameworld before patch was delivered out.
Somehow items are not in the right positions.
For just some pixel and therfore exist out of world /reach.
Tedious task to find all those items and compare propper positions.
Aye ye that's probably related to what I found with some metal gloves
Posted By: Shalyndarra Can't Reach on Basement Lever - 19/07/21 11:50 AM
To get to the next area of the game you have to loot the bookshelf and pass a perception check to notice the scratches on the floor and then pull the lever after moving the boxes out of the way. I have moved the boxes and made the perception check and revealed the lever but anytime I try to use the lever it just says cant reach. I have restarted the room and have the same result.
I couldn't reach the pouch in the makeshift altar or whatever in the goblin priestesses room, after fighting the female ogre. I passed the check and could see the pouch, but couldn't reach.
@AintAintCountry:
That might be the Gloves in the cart in the Druid Grove near Doni the mute Tiefling kid.
I even tried thunder arrow on it. Not Thunderwave yet. But worth a try to get them out of the cart laugh
Thieving such form Dammon the Smith is much easier in Patch 5 then getting those glued ones in the cart.
Posted By: TheHero Re: Can't Reach on Basement Lever - 19/07/21 12:57 PM
This seems to be all over ther place with usable objects, containers off all kinds (also bodies as containers which are part of the world from start)
Seems its Levers and switches too.
Seriously misplaced items in Patch 5.
I bet we get a newly rendered gameworld in some days with fixed positions. Not reachable is suggesting those things are out of the world area in the out of world map area.

I literally just did this and had the same issue!
Solved it by dragging a crate back over and having a character climb on it to reach.
Even though the lever is right in front of their face without the crate. Yeah something has gone wonky, but try the crate workaround for now?

There was also a corpse in the Blighted Village I also "couldn't reach".

Same issue here.
Attacking the lever worked for me.

As i said in other topics (saying just in case you read that one too) ...

For some unknown reason game conciders many objects to be aproximately 1meter higher than they actualy are ...
So far i have found that in many (not all) situations Mage Hand is quite usefull ...

Sadly, it cant turn switch, so in this basement you need to climb on those crates.

I can move the box sitting next to the cart onto the cart, and that box can still be opened.
But the box that was on the cart from the beginning, and the gloves next to it, that are now lying beside the box I threw into the cart remain unreachable. Pffff.....
So it' does not seem to be position related but object related.

Got ALL the problems people are talking about here, plus the Antitoxin in the Apothecary above the empty fireplace across from the trapdoor.

Heard there is an hotfix coming? Hopefully some of the important one are fixed.
Posted By: Prime8evolved Items unreachable - 21/07/21 11:21 PM
I've been seeing this issue despite having myself at level with the item. (Climbing on crates and etc) The most recent I had noticed was in the defiled temple when the pouch becomes visible through a perception check and YOU CANT REACH IT..
Posted By: Kryldost Re: Items unreachable - 22/07/21 05:16 AM
I use fighter tadpole power to yank it
Posted By: neennas56 interaction bug - 25/07/21 12:16 AM
When i am trying to interact with items (bookcases, boxes, etc.) or picking up things, i get the message of either unable to reach, or must use jump function even if it is on the ground right in front of me. I did not have this issue till patch 5
Posted By: alice_ashpool Re: interaction bug - 25/07/21 01:15 AM
I also have noticed this bug in patch 5. Including with the Well in the middle of Blighted Village. "can't reach" a huge well, whatever next.
Posted By: RagnarokCzD Re: interaction bug - 25/07/21 07:18 AM
I wonder if there is allready at least 20 topic of this issue ... i bet it is. laugh

Most things can be reached by Mage Hand ...
And when you get to lever in stellar, stand on some box. wink
Posted By: neennas56 Re: interaction bug - 25/07/21 01:47 PM
i am sorry they did not come up on my search but i will make sure i consult you before i post next time
Posted By: MisplacedProtag Re: Items unreachable - 25/07/21 07:29 PM
Well I figured out how to yank objects using that object I found on the Nautiloid, but it always pulls the wrong object, if there are two in close proximity. How do you yank objects using Illithid power?
Posted By: Ackadia Re: Items unreachable - 27/07/21 03:55 PM
It's the pouch that annoys me, dying to know what's inside, but suspect it something naff, like 13g.

There are too many of these "cant' reach", I've encountered all the ones above, and others like the barrel of fish in the blighted village.

Staying with the blighted village:

There are blacksmith parchments on a wall you can take. use to read. There is no read option smirk

Below the parchments, on a desk, it a pipe. Its text hover says it's a candle. its text icon is a question mark.

Also in the village is a portrait of a noble woman. When you try to sell it, its the portrait on a man.

The switch you can't reach is just annoying, but as other have pointed out, shove one box back and your good. Others, like the gauntlet in the druid village, I've wasted way too much time with crates and spells trying to reach it.

So I discovered I could get to the pouch, ironically, by selecting the throw option. Even though you get the, "Can't reach," message, you can often still throw these items onto the floor, where you can then open them up.
Posted By: RagnarokCzD Re: Items unreachable - 31/07/21 05:56 AM
Friendly warning tho: Some objects can break by throwing
Posted By: EvilVik Re: Items unreachable - 31/07/21 10:23 AM
Same things in the toll house cellar. Plenty of unreachable stuff
Posted By: Kryldost Re: Items unreachable - 31/07/21 02:00 PM
Try with druid badger form, my friend managed to reach a few things by looting them normally while in badger form weirdly enough.

Edit: I can confirm, badger can reach some stuff that cant be reached right now. Didnt test everything, but the necromancer lair is a go!

Re-edit: not for ladders though

+1 for this. Works great for this pouch, books, scrolls and the like, but potions shatter when you throw them.

As for that wretched Metallic Glove teasing us in Silvanus' Grove... Larian are trolling us!

I finally got those darn Metallic Gloves! I used Mage Hand and was able to throw them to the ground so I could loot them. Took three playthroughs before I tried this, but they're finally mine!

So Magehand can be cast in that wagon cart? Or did you cast it on a crate or ground?
Posted By: Schugger Re: Items unreachable - 03/08/21 06:09 PM
Postive on the Mage Hand on the Metallic Gloves in the cart located at the grove. Don't know if this is related with the recent Hotfix, but yesterday I couldn't throw this gloves but I didn't tried out Mage Hand at this time.
You still can't access the gloves or the crate on the cart by "mundane" terms wink
With the unreachable potions: Eventually it is possible to throw them to other Characters to avoid breaking them?

On the ground is fine ...
I wonder how did you people managed to miss it, i writed this tip to every single topic about "unreachable objects" i found since day 1. laugh

Nope ... if you throw potion "at someone" it breaks too ... and your target will imediatly take its effect.
But once you can throw it, you should be able to relocate it by simply draging. wink

Well i normally use another kind of "Throw", its Thunderarrows. But this might destroy sometimes low HP Chest/containers.
And when i use Magehand, and its not working on several attempts i dismiss it.
Becausei dont want to waste too much time for some items, which i can most of the time just steal from a Trader-/Merchant NPC.
In any case i think this is a particular Patch5 problem and will be gone in near future. LEss problems with unreachable in patches before.
Also more Ladders / climb options are broken too in PAtch 5. Guess that its somehow connected in Mapbuilding and Rendering Maps.
Posted By: Arthurerex Re: Items unreachable - 04/08/21 04:32 PM
I've come across the same issue with some random items not reachable.
