Venomousbeetle Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The lift the shadow curse quest is impossible to complete if Halsin is dead or missing. Halsin appeared to me 40 gameplay hours ago as a bear that attacked me instantly. I never had the quest to get him before that happened, so there was zero way to know he's important. For some reason the Shadow Curse quest that is way later in the game is completely without options, only able to use Halsin. I was hoping someone could make a "patch" for this. Something that will trigger the quest as successful/make Oliver Thaniel again etc. I read there was an exploit for using Faerie Fire on Oliver that starts a conversation where he opens a portal, and you would be able to follow in and fix it without Halsin. I don't seem to be getting this. I just get the "Not here to gloat are you?" dialogue. I'm not entirely sure how you would approach this, but ultimately the desired end result is Thaniel being saved and the trigger for the curse to be lifted by Nightsong enabled again. If there was an exploit to get Oliver to open a portal that worked, perhaps modding the bug back in as a feature would be viable. The most perfect would be to make a new objective or item scroll for performing the portal ritual Halsin does yourself, maybe even hide the item so it's not marked as being possible to find, with the quest journal saying something like "Halsin is dead. We will have to find another way to lift the Shadow Curse- on our own." Or even just make it so murdering Oliver counts as a solution to this quest's half of removing the curse (It's my understanding Nightsong is only one part that needs the other instead of Nightsong being an alternative) But again- long as it's not a save breaker, I don't mind if it's quick and dirty like a command bat. I'm just frustrated that the quest only has one option and there doesn't seem to be a reasonable way around it even unofficially. Thank you very much.

sw4nfire Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 seconding this request but as someone who DOES have halsin, this quest bugs out SUPER easily, I did the mistake of exploring the region and meeting Oliver/Thaniel and triggering the portal before talking to halsin or waking up art, as such the quest has bugged to high heaven and I can no longer proceed in it, oliver/thaniel just sits in the middle of reithwin and any interaction starts a fight with infinite enemy summons that never resolves into dialogue , halsin wont talk to art even after I woke him up, but he stood at art's door telling me to wake him up, even though he is awake, and he stayed there till I advanced to moon tower in which case halsin just starts pretending that I never triggered "the house in deep shadows" area if I kill Oliver/thaniel, halsin disappears unless I camp in moon tower in which case thaniel shows up as a normal kid and the dialogue "thaniel is unresponsive he hardly looks alive" is the only thing that is said when I click on him and halsin continues pretending that I have not found the house surrounded by flowers yet IDK how difficult it is to mod quests, but if its at all possible something that just skips to the resolution of this quest would be nice? I know its different than the solutions you suggested op but a fix it all mod for this quest would be nice for now ill advance and leave oliver in the middle of reithwin with his portal unkilled and see if that does anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
