Mutamin's Challenge:- I've Done Something MAJOR Wrong!

Mutamin's Challenge:- I've Done Something MAJOR Wrong! (Spoiler? Maybe)

This really isn't good. My Rouge/Bard went into the Green Griffon Inn, talked to a bunch of people, then went to take the challenge. Here's the problem. There is NOBODY else down there!! No dead bodies, and most importantly, no Gorkan. Which is bad, as Daelan is kinda upset about his mother right now. What have I done wrong here?!?

Firstly - welcome to the forum.


When you say there is nobody there - does this mean monsters also?
As for Gorkan, are you sure you are at the location where he should be?

If he isn't there, then it seems you have hit a bug/glitch. Then the next question is, wether or not you are running version 1.62 (latest patch)?, if not - try that and reload before the dungeon.

Otherwise - there are a couple of ways of getting the axe into the game, if you are bugged/stuck.
It is possible to spawn in items (such as the axe needed) so you can complete Daelans quest. It is also possible to spawn in creatures (such as Gorkan), although that presents a few obstacles.
So it is rather easy to spawn in Daelans axe, and this is how:

In the chat-box of your screen type: (the "Talk:" just over your quickmenu slots)
##DebugMode 1
##dm_spawnitem nw_hen_dae2qt (this will spawn in the axe under your mouse cursor, so carefull not to place it over a wall or something).
##DebugMode 0

(If you type these commands in the console command prompt, as mentioned in the manual, you shouldn't preface the commands with ##)

I hope this helps you.

Thanks, it's always nice to feel welcome! And thanks for telling me how to spawn items, as that is likely my only option.

In answer to your questions, and for reference to anyone else who gets a similar programme glitch. I don't think I have the latest patch on my game, but unsure.

Level 1 was absolutely fine, all monsters present including the riddle asking Yuan-Ti. My character took the puzzle root, answered two riddles for the Yaun-Ti and went down to level 3.

In the puzzle room the statue was there and I could answer the riddle, but Dydd's body and journal were not there, despite me talking to him upstairs.

The room with the pillar of light is there, as are about 10 million skeleton mages and warriors. Gam is not, injured or otherwise.

I then went up to level 2. Minotaurs were everywhere, but Kasma wasn't. The minotaur in her "area" was there though.

Back to level 3, I finished off the invisible stalkers etc, and was able to proceed unharmed untill the final room where a group of undead attacked me. I was able to finish them off and walked round the level for good measure, but no Gorkan.

The only thing I could think of was that they may all be upstairs still. I'm not sure I can be bothered to re-patch, re-load and fight all those crazy creatures again. I did use the stone of recall once, but I doubt that had any bearing on the situation.

Well - all things considered, I would advice you to patch the game, regardless of wether you wish to replay the challenge or choose to spawn in the item.

Patching is good :)

Strange.

Are you typing in the chat-box (Talk :) or the console command prompt?
Because if typing in the first did you remember the ##, and if typing in the latter there should be no ##.

The command should be good enough, because I tested it last time somebody had misplaced the axe, and couldn't find it again.

it says command not found

DebugMode 0

Try it in the "Talk:" box instead. (remember to preface with ##)

There is some glitches with the console prompt, when using some national keyboards.
Or rather, I know there is for me, because I often has to press ´ prior to ` to get the console command working correct :rolleyes:

That is very wierd, and it is difficult to say what the problem is.
I've never had problems using the dm_spawnitem command.

Try when you use the command prompt - then I belive you can press "tab" and it should start listing the commands. (and press "tab" to look through them). Try find the dm_spawnitem in that list. (sort of just to confirm that it is there :cool: )

Other then this - I'm starting to run low on ideas...

No, dm_spawnitem isn't there (although I can get a very attractive hobby horse)

Did you patch your game? It might be the command was introduced in a later patch?
