#6018 [DORN] Dorn’s Third Quest [SPOILERS]

Valiante

So, I’m inside the rift thingy with the giant tree, and I can’t seem to find the third summoning stone, or do anything with the two I have (Winterbrook’s, and Fil’s). Am I missing something? I’ve been going over this map in exacting detail for an hour and a half now, and there doesn’t seem to be anything left I can do on it. I also can’t leave the map due to the story. Any help would be appreciated. I don’t have any saves left outside of the area, so if this is some sort of bug, an area or item code would be the only way to get me out of here at this point.
Thanks

You need something that can reveal invisible creatures. Look around the map if you don't have True Sight, etc.

Xachrimos has the last one.

Valiante

I assumed so, and I have true sight but nothing’s showing up. I’ve used it right next to where his voice is coming from, and then proceeded to scout the map with it on, but without any luck.

Jalily

Can you zip up your savegame and attach it?

Valiante

Done and done.

Jalily

I'm not sure why True Sight isn't working, but you can use the Wand of Glitterdust to reveal him.

Valiante

Awesome, thank you!

Valiante

Hmm. I don’t seem to be having any luck with that, either.

Jalily

That is weird - I was able to do it in your game. Hm.

Edit: I waited until Xachrimos spoke and then aimed on top of the words.

Valiante

That’s what I’ve been doing, but he’s not showing up. Could it be something mac specific?

Valiante

Aha, got him! He must’ve been moving or something

Kurz

I have the exact same problem. True Sight and the True Sight potions do not work.

Kurz

and neither does Glitterdust.

Kurz

OK, only the wand of glitterdust works if you want to find Xachrimos. Nothing else.

KAZURADAR

simple dispel magic works

kamuizin

seconding the info that true sight isn't revealing the Tanari

Illydth

This is listed in @Jalily's Workarounds Thread above.

@Jalily: I don't see a bug report for the fact that Truesight/etc. doesn't work to make Xachrimos visible. There are several bug reports surrounding Xachrimos, but none about the TS/etc. Issue.

Do we need to add?

Ryofu

confirmed i believe. i used true sight while looking for Xachrimos and he never appeared. i had to use the wand of glitterdust

LiamEsler

@Gate70 Yep, #6018 looks like it.

I seem to be having a similar problem. I have all 3 crystals, as well as the wand of glitterdust, but cannot make Xachrimos appear. I have waited until he spoke and used the wand but have not had success. Alternatively, is it possible to use the Clua Console to create the last crystal?

If you have 3 crystals is because you've killed him or you killed some of the Fairy Dragons. The Wand of Glitterdust should work, if not, try using it again or ask @Jalily for a (different) fix.

Jalily

@MarkGoldberg Looking at your savegame, you have two summoning stones and a crystal (this can be given to Fil in return for his stone, but you already have that one). I was able to get Xachrimos to appear in your game by using the wand of glitterdust on top of the text that appears in the game screen when he speaks (just using it anywhere when you see text appear in the dialogue window won't work). If you want to use the console, the command is C:CreateItem("ohdsums3").

MarkGoldberg

Jalily, I thank you, my lady and was able to use the Clua Console to create that item. However, even though I have the summoning stones from Fil, Winterbrook & Xachrimos, I cannot complete the circle. I am also a bit confused by your comment, which I have seen elsewhere, saying I should use the wand on top of the text that appears. The only place I see the words of Xachrimos appear are in the text area at the bottom of the screen. Is that the area you are referring to? Please forgive me if this is a dumb question and thanks again for your help

Jalily

@MarkGoldberg No, that's the dialogue window. Here's what I mean:
He also has a sword; the code is ohdsw2ha. I had forgotten about that, but you should be able to do the ritual with those four items. Enter the tree and Dorn should tell you what to do. If you want to use Vernus, resurrect him.

MarkGoldberg

@Jalily I thank you for your help. I had not seen the text there before, and after wandering around close to the entrance to the tree, I was able to complete the quest by following your instructions.

I am glad to learm that True Sight not working is a bug, because really that's the most logical way of revealing him and I would NEVER have thought to use the wand, I just left it unidentified.
