[No repro] help with bug: Sir Sarles quest, can't talk to Guardian Telwyn

Jaz

hey guys,

I have a problem with the quest. I get the quest from Guardian Telwyn then I did get both the fake and real metal but only made Sarles see the fake one so that he runs off pissed. When I try to finish the quest by returning to Guardian Telwyn, I can't talk to him anymore.

Can someone help?

BG 2 EE with SCS

Thanks in adavance!

EDIT: the bug only occurs when I drop the real metal before talking to Sarles. If I give him the real one, the quest finishes completely fine meaning I can talk to Guardian Telwyn. Doen't help me much tough.

Hey I am having the same problem. I vanilla I remember able to hand in the fake metal at the temple. EE must have tried to close this option but ended with a bug, please help!

Oh and i have BG2EE with no mods installed if that makes a difference. I just downloaded EE Keeper, is there a variable i can tweak to get the reward? an reload is out of the option unfortunately.

Can you check the values of the variables "SarelsPissed" and "SculptorDone"? They should be 1 and 0, respectively, if you showed the alloy to Sarles. Do you have the alloy with you when you try to speak with Telwyn? Is Oisig in the immediate area?

actually this bug has been around for awhile, and makes me feel like its "almost intentional" because you can either get the upgraded version of the mace of disruption or the helm of glory, in my opinion the upgraded mace of disruption is way better than the helm of glory ( incase you are wondering you can go to Cromwell and give him the mace of disruption and the illithium and he will upgrade the mace) plus worse case scenario if you REALLY want both items, just give sir sarles the real stuff and finish all your temple quests and then come back and whack sir sarles, you will probably lose rep, but easy come easy go, oh and also if you didn't know you can take neb's head to one of the officers in the huge government building and he will give you gold and +1 rep point for bringing it in ( the guy you return it to is at the back of the building standing by a throne I believe)

Let's summon @Gate70

I think we're either going to need the variables previously requested, or a zipped save from @biffyclanger

e.g. if the main character is a cleric there are different paths taken.

Now that I think about it, couldn't we mod Sir Sarles' dialog file so that you can charm him and he gladly accepts the illithium alloy without complaint? We could set the trigger to

PartyHasItem("misc6s")
Global("GaveStuff","LOCALS",0)
StateCheck(Myself,STATE_CHARMED)

set an action to give a lowered amount of xp (you are cheating him, after all, and you charmed him to do it) but then it links to state 21 where he starts fawning over the "illithium" (get a room, Sarles).

Gate70

You could, but I'm able to take the alloy to the temple and obtain the helm as a reward. It would be better to get a proper report than mod around a possible bug. Although I do like the idea of more ways to deal with Sarles...

Oh i've simply ignored it and gone on to the underdark. Played around with Dorn and got Guardian Telwyn murdered anyway!(seriously Dorn?) thx for trying to help, I appreciated it. Ill be sure in the next playthrough.
