in Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition
Hi there
I am new to the Baldur's gate community. I lover Baldur's gate 2 and played it when it first came out in 2000. As soon as I saw that Baldur's gate was being released in the enhanced edition I purchased the game. I have made my way to the asylum where I have came across the first major bug of the game since I started playing. The problem that I am having is I bring daces hand to daces head and it is not opening the way to the next level. It say the way is open but nothing happens. I AM STUCK IN A DUNGEON THAT I CANT GET OUT OF. If anybody can help me that would be great. Butt Kicking For Goodness

    I assume you cannot now click on the far side of the head to walk through, so I'd suggest raising it in the bugs forum. For a workaround, enable your console and Ctrl-J on the far side of the head.

    Do you also have a splinter from the large orange/red crystal on the same area where you meet Dace?

    (If yes, follow Pantalion's advice!)

    Thank you for responding. What do you mean by enable your console, how do I do that? I am not the most knowledgeable with mods and fixes with the computer, I can find my way around that's about it.
    Thanks again for the help

    You're lacking the crystal shard. You need both Dace's hand and the Crystal Shard in order to get past the stone head. In other words, this isn't a bug.

    I have both items on the same character and I have tried selecting that character separately to open the mouth but nothing happens. No experienced gained, no mouth opens up.

    This is a known problem with that thing. My only recommendation is to try to reload a saved game from before you gave the items to the statue. Also you could simply try to ctrl+j past the thing.

    I have tried reloading both my saved game and auto saved game and both seem to do the same thing. Nothing happens. Somebody else suggested the ctrl j and I have tried that also.

    If I have to start the game over I just want to make sure that the next time I go in there hopefully I wont have the same problem. Do you think it was a downloading issue or do most people have this problem. Should I wait for an updated patch before entering the asylum again. What would you do?
    Thank you

    You actually have to jump through a few hoops before you can use the ctrl-j. I fixed your game for you by using ctrl-j to get you across the statue. If you are curious about enabling cheats and such you should check out this link http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/8317/general-bgee-customization

    About enabling the Clua Console in BG2:EE, see here: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/8317/general-bgee-customization/p1

    After enabling the console, I think you have to enable cheat keys:

    Start BG2:EE, load the game, and press CTRL+spacebar to open the console. An entry box opens at the bottom of the screen.

    Enter the following in the entry box:

    CLUAConsole:EnableCheatKeys()

    and press Enter.


    Make sure your entire party is selected, point your cursor to the place on the screen where you want your party to go and press CTRL+j. After a few seconds all characters should appear at the cursor.

    Thank you so much for all of your help. I wish I knew my way around the computer better. If I could I buy you a beer I would. If I have some more problems I will try to find you to ask more questions. You seem very knowledgeable.
    Thanks Again

    I will look into the cheat codes for the game. Thanks Montresor for the info.

    Another bug. I suggest you keep some saves as backups otherwise you'll ruin the time spent in getting through the game so far and loose it because of the bugs

    I have the same problem as the OP. Statue will not let me pass. Tried reloading from the attached Quick save as well as my auto-save (transitioning from the other area). Thank you to however can help me, dying to continue the game (never been this far in BG2 before!)

    Just a quick FYI, I used the debug mode to advance, but figured maybe the save file will help fix this error going forward.

    I am also having trouble with the stone head I just posted my save file on the other thread about this but I am going to post it here too any help would be greatly appreciated

    It's a known bug in the bugs section, hard to reproduce. Always keep a savegame from a previous map and don't rely on auto and quicksave! It had hit me too, just reliading and redoing the fight worked.

    @gcracker‌ Try this if you haven't resolved the issue already.

    You really should enable the console. It comes in handy for all sorts of bugs. Also, CTRL-J is the best thing ever :D
