Helms Hold Bug - GRRRRR!!!

Kell Swiftsword · 03-11-2003, 06:51 PM

Last week I updated to 1.28, and 1.29 today. Ever since I updated the O.C. I have had scripting errors and bugs. One of which is in Helms Hold. I can't place the gem in the hand pedestal in the entry foyer. Subsequently I was surprised when the guardian armors started to wail on me. Any suggestions? I don't want to try and play the rest of the game wondering if it will work correctly of freeze up on me.

I had the Exact Same Thing just happen to me...! Its frustrating because you don't know if you're playing towards a roadblock or not.

You mean those guardians aren't supposed to attack? I know they were hard, but I thought it was meant to be like that.. Defeated them after a couple of reloads.

Hmmm, I didn't know that about after the patches as I haven't played back through the game again since these updates, I have been playing mods. I normally don't place the gem anyway since I like taking the guardians on for the xp's and place the gem after I finish them off.

Patch 1.29

Just did helms hold.

I couldn't get the hand to accept the etched crystal either, and the sword weilding suits of armor attacked me if you walk in the front door and don't do that.

Have to admit I came in the back way though, full cleared the basement and first level, banished the demon and restored helm, and *THEN* tried to put the etched gem into the hand and it fails (and it makes sense that it would , Helm already commands here), but that maybe just me.

There are two other enterences to the hold if you don't feel like fighting those guys. A side door, and a cave way back by the docks that leads directly into the basement. I usually go into the cave first.

Actually, like kocconor, I came in through the side door and worked my way around too. If you come in that way through the back door, they wont attack you anyway as long as you don't attack them. At least that is what happened when I wasn't patched. Of course I did attack them as I wanted every possible xp I could get. It was tough too since my Monk was still pretty weak, but worth it.
