Hi,

When I killed the priestess Oria she broke her staff.
However she never reappeared and now I am stuck!
Just to be clear, going to the ethereal plane has no use,
because there is nobody to attack.
Unfortunately I do not have any recent save game before killing Oria.
I only found out later what should have happened.

On another forum I read an old message about someone having
the same problem, and that he found a 'command' that made the
game think Oria is dead. Does anyone know this command or
some other way for me to continue play this game?

Thanks.

Just for info where have you left off on the game like what have you achieved? Where is your last save? I per say, don't have much info for you, but there has been topics on this forum with the same problem, try running a few thread searchs for info.

I have unlocked all doors on that level.
I have discovered all rooms.
I already killed the other 2 priestesses and cleansed the altar.

I have searched many forums about what to do, and already know what should have happened after Oria breaks the staff.
Oria should appear in some ethereal form and I should activate the inner sanctum and kill her.

I also found out there are others with the same problem as me and it was identified that this was a bug in the game.
The answer usually was to go back to an older save game and do it again. But I absolutely do not want to play again from my older save game, because it is way to far behind.

There was one person who said he fixed it by doing a 'command' to let the game think that Oria is dead (as a workaround for this bug). Unfortunately he did not tell what 'command' this is.

Okay I found out the solution for my problem by looking at cheat codes and searching in .bcs and .dlg files.

I had to activate the cheat console in the config tool, start Icewind Dale 2, press ctrl-tab and do the command:
ctrlaltdelete:setglobal("OriaEssence_dead", "GLOBAL", 1)

Now I can continue playing
