Nick won't collect on his favour

Post by Quirit »

Hi,

Well, I seem to have a unique problem - Nickademus does not appear to collect on the favour I seem to have promised him in the Ice Dungeon. I did speak to him back then in Chapter 2, and as far as I can recall he DID ask for a favour, and everything else went generally well.

But when I exit the final level of Dragon's Eye I simply go on to the Fields of Slaughter, directly to the fight with Mr. Tan, and Nick is nowhere in sight.

Any idea of.... well, of how I can correct this? I've already been digging in the 'General Parameters' of my saved game, using DaleKeeper2, but I'm not sure which parameter I should edit.

Heeeeelp......

By hook or by crook

This has become an obsession....

It seems - I've checked my old saves - that I've forgotten to indebt myself to Nick back at the Ice Dungeon. Now I think I've discovered the Variable I need to add in Global Variables in order to fix this, but I really need to know:

At what point exactly does Nick appear to collect? That is - when, EXACTLY am I supposed to be teleported to the Ice dungeon? Is it the same place always?

Dont take this as fact, but I think it exactly when you move into the Fields of Slaughter. He teleports you away and then straight back after doing so

So you don't actually get to the Fields, right?

Only when you complete the Ice Dungeon again.

Maybe I can create Nick using a cheat, or just load the are of the Ice Dungeon?
(BTW - how DO I spawn him? All the cheat guides repeat the same crap that doesn't seem to work: createcreature("creature name/number").

I thought of trying to simply go to the Ice Temple - use a cheat to go there.
Anybody knows the area number?

Well, dunno if anybody's interested in this, but I've solved the problem:

ctrlaltdelete:movetoarea("AR4103")

But first I'm going to area 4102, to complete the battle square :)

Seems so. Also made it possible for me to complete the battle square, through which I am trudging now :-)

Completed the Battle Square and tried "teleporting" right to area 4103. Didn't work - no Nick, no cutscene with him and the demons etc. Then I "teleported" back to the Dragon's Eye exit, where destruction was still in full swing, and then to area 4103, and, hello demons!

So I guess it matters (to some degree) where you do it from.
