Suldanessellar summoning Avatar

Remove all ads!

My Adventurers have all three relics which they need to summon the Avatar. However, the items cannot be placed in the "pool" at the altar. The items can only be dropped on the ground.

This has been the case through out the game,e.g., in the room with a chest in the middle and several statues, in the section with Demon Imps, famous persons and caskets, etc.

However, this is the most crucial example, because I cannot enter the Palace and from thence finish the game! Gerondin weeps and so do I!!

Am I doing something incorrectly or is it a glich in the game?

Gerondin and his fellow adventurers wait in the Temple of Rillifane with bated breath and much anticipation for your help.

 

Have you installed the patch for whatever version you're running?
Do you have any mods installed?

 

You should probably patch your game, a problem like this I have never heard from.

 

Thanks for your prompt replies. I have not installed patches or mods. I'm not very computer literate and was afraid of messing things up, so I just put up with the problem until I tried to summon the Avatar to move to the end-game. Now it is vital to fix the bug, if possible.

After your suggestions I went to the Bio Ware web site. The patch info on the web site did not address my problem, so I called Bio Ware and was told that the only support person assigned to BG II is off until next week.

I guess my Adventurers just take a holiday until then.

 

It may be worth installing the patch anyway to prevent further errors and perhaps repair any you have encountered already.

atm I can check but I thought you had to place the items into a statue, not a pool?

With the Imps do you mean in the Sahuagin city?

Damn I want to investigate this

I'm going to wait until I can talk to the BGII support person next week before installing any patches. Unless I can summon the Avatar, it's all over for Shadows of Amn.

When I got stuck I read a couple of walkthroughs. One said a statue another said a "pool," I guess because when you approach the statue, a blue "pool" appears like when there is something to pick up or open and the cursor becomes the little doughnut.

I did mean the Imps in the Sahuagin City.

 

Tal is correct. The first thing I do when I install a game is go look for official patches. I no longer even try to play a game until I install the official patch-if there is one.

 

Thanks for the advice. I've downloaded patches for other games. Don't know why I hesitate now. Will mull it over and probably do it tomorrow when I'm a bit more alert.

 

@8 People
Threadstarter is probably referring to the Imps who are just in front of the Beholder that's holding Sekolah's Tooth in Shaugain city.

Any bells?

 

yes, I remember it now, I was doubting my memory and couldn't find my book to check on it

Good luck with the patch, Gerondin

 

and statues he/she is talking about is one in Spellhold.

 

Well, I installed the only patch currently available on the Bio Ware website, returned to the Temple in Suldanessellar and still cannot place the relics on the altar to summon the Avatar, so dropped them on the ground again at every possible place in the Temple. Nothing!

Will spreak with support at Bio Ware on Tuesday afternoon. Here's hoping.

'Til then.

 

There is a sneak path around the gates. I dont have a save of Suldanessalar so I cant point the exact way - but it can be found to the east and runs along the outer fringes north/east of the city, leading to the area in front of the palace. Sort of like a back entrance.

Perhaps this will help you out.

 

Thanks for the response. I was excited. Oh boy! Opened a saved game and took the winding path to the East. It did indeed come to the entrance to the Palace. Alas, it is the same entrance that you come to after passing through the main gate.

Unfortunately, been there, done that. Locked. Message: "Only the power of a god can open this door... Them [sic] Temple may have the answer."

 

You could turn into the Slayer (F12 for special abilities)

That would get you past that gate.

 

Sorry for getting your hopes up in vain. I assumed the problem lay with the main gates.

 

Getting past the gate is not the problem. It's getting into the Palace. I had already tried turning into the Slayer just in case that might work. No go.

 

Just to make sure you have the mechanics right... Ideally, you just use your character to loot the chest or "pool". The contents of the chest and your inventory should be visible. Then clicking on the items in your inventory moves them into the chest. If that doesn't work, it's definitely a bug.

Don't laugh; it took me a while to figure out how to put the dog stew on the "ground" in De'Arnise Keep.

 

hahahahaha
