Assylum question (spoiler)

JessicaB · Post by **JessicaB** » Mon Jan 05, 2004 10:33 pm

I have gone with the prisoners to *fight* Irenicus. Then he disappears, yadda yadda, and I fight the asassins. Then nothing happens. I go up the stairs back to where the cells are and the prisoners are back there and it goes through the whole dialogue of how I need them to come help me fight Irenicus. They teleport us down there again and they just stand there. Irenicus does not return to fight again. Not to mention when that happens all the doors are shut and locked and I can't get out of the room. I have also tried to get to the portal but I have no key to ge through the secret door. I am very happy with the way my game has progressed so far and would be very sad to have to start all over (again! long story on that one...) Please help! Thanks.

You can find Saemon Havarian stading there and he will ask for you to go with him by boat.he is near the cell from the woman that see the planes.....

SPOILER SPAM I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THIS................ONLY READ IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT TO DO.............

go with him is far better than taking the portal......

I have run all the way around the place and can't find him. Any suggestions or is this a bug?

it sounds like a bug to me

all the prisoners are meant to die when irenicus leaves i think
try reloading an earlier save, if you can

Thanks, I'll see what I can find. I don't have any earlier saves...probably my worst mistake!

The inmates should all be dead. If at the end of the fight they are alive, they automatically die when Irenicus leaves. I found this out after trying really really hard to finish the fight with all the inmates still alive.

And yeah, your problem is that Saemon isn't showing up. If you can get down the stairs near the cell where you find Imoen, then the portal key is found in the office room (or the room attached to it, don't remember). I'm betting you tried that though, and the door is still locked. My best advice would be to see if somebody knows the CLUA command to spawn Saemon.

Still stuck! Now I've been trying to enable the cheat codes to teleport my party to the other side of that secret door where the portal is but I can't even get that to work. I have read you are supposed to open the baldur.ini file (after making a copy) entering Debug mode=1 under the Program Options heading. Then go to the game and press Ctrl + space to open/close the console window. When i press Ctrl + space all i get is the game paused. Am I doing this right? Or does anybody have any suggestions to HOW I can get out of this mess? Thanks in advance!

Here are some cheat codes you might want to try. I can't guarantee that they will work, since the scripts are so complex. But in your situation, it's worth a try.

First of all, you need to enable the CLUAConsole. The following instructions might be redundant, but they ought to work:

Exit the game.
Edit your BALDUR.INI file. Put DEBUG MODE=1 under [Program Options] and [Game Options].
Restart the game and load your saved game.
If you're not already there, go to the area where you fought Irenicus and his assassins.
Hold down the CTRL key, and while you're still pressing it, press the SPACE bar. A box should appear at the bottom of your screen. That's the CLUAConsole.
In the box, type:

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("AsylumPlot","GLOBAL",53)

That should make the Crazy Army disappear. Now descend the stairs into the area where all the inmates were kept, then go right back upstairs.

Hold down the CTRL key, and while you're still pressing it, press the SPACE bar to call up the CLUAConsole.
In the box, type:

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("AsylumPlot","GLOBAL",54)

That should unlock all the doors that need to be opened. Go down the stairs again, then come right back up.

Once again, hold down the CTRL key, and while you're still pressing it, press the SPACE bar to call up the CLUAConsole.
In the box, type:

CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("AsylumPlot","GLOBAL",55)

That should make Saemon Havarian appear. Go downstairs to meet him. I suggest that you take him up on his offer to take you back to Athkatla so you can follow Irenicus from there.

Try it and let me know if it works. Good luck!

Thank you! Those instructions seem easy enough to follow and I'll try them when I get a chance. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again!

Hmmmm, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I can't even get the CLUAConsole to come up! I press Ctrl (and hold it) and then press the space bar and all I get is the game paused. No box comes up to type anything in.

This is what it looks like in Notepad when I try to edit the baldur.ini file.

[Program Options]
Debug Mode=1
(*this is exactly how i typed it)

then further down it looks like this
[Game Options]
Debug Mode=1

I save the file and then go start the game, load my saved game and try to bring up the console and i get game pause. Is there something I'm doing wrong?? I can't even see if those cheat codes will work to help me because I can't get the box to come up so i can enter them! Grrr.... I really shouldn't care this much but for some reason I can't let it go hahaha...

It looks right to me. I don't think you really need the second one under Game Options, but if VonDondu says to put it there, it probably can't hurt. The error most people make is putting a space before or after the equal sign, but it doesn't look like you did that.

If you want to get the key to the portal, you could download ShadowKeeper and insert it into your inventory. You would have to rename your save game first, if you are only using the AutoSave or QuickSave feature.

This is kind of a last resort option, because you really do want to talk to Havarian if you can manage it.
