Can't save in Mind Flayer Lair!!

[Guk73]

Has anyone else had problems saving their game in the Mind Flayer lair? I usually try to save very frequently but it wont let me. I will find i very frustrating if I die and have to repeat the lair over and over till I get through.

I don't recall ever having any trouble saving there. (Assuming you are talking about the lair in the Underdark)

It might be that there are residual spell effects in place which are preventing you from saving. Spells like spike stones, death fog, web etc. that are still in effect will prevent you from saving until the spell effect terminates. Also, there may be a monster lurking within range. That too will prevent you from saving. I can't remember if the message you get telling you that "You cannot save at this time" also tells you if it the reason is because "Monsters are still about" or not.

If there is a script still in progress in the game it will not allow you to save (eg. when you are in the cell waiting for your fight). Where are you trying to save? Details please, so we can help. [img]smile.gif[/img]

It doesnt work to save when you in the cell. Just like Memnoch says.
You must finish the fights with those other creatures in the other cell. They help you with the Mind Flayers that i presume you already know off. When you have killed the Saohugian or wtf their name is you can go into the cell room or some other room to save. [img]smile.gif[/img]
