khrimzunn Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Ok, well mt problem lies within something in the game itself. Or rather the DLC itself. In any case, I, of course, have mods of various types that I installed to make my DA:O playthrough number 5 a little more spicy. Now for some reason, I can't get the lights in the taig at all because finn just follows like a dumb grunt even if I'm standing on the exact location of the light. I've installed these mods a month ago so I have no clue exactly what is interfering. My question is does anyone know of a script that can duplicate the item that i need for the quest Arian's blood, or the actual item string? If not then are there any other workarounds? Because I really want to play this DLC since I frigging bought it. Also sorry if I misspelled any thing on this thread, I haven't slept in 3 days.

Thandal Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Your question isn't very clear. Essentially, you (any member of your Party, including Dog, will do) stand in the special glowing places. When you do, floating orbs of light appear and seem to gather and fly off in a specific direction. Head after them. When you get close enough, Finn will make some remark along the lines of "There it is!", and one of the Elven Lanterns (the "Lights of Arlathan") will appear (Look all around yourself, sometimes it'll be behind you.) As you acquire each one, you'll have to battle its Guardians. After you have all four, Finn will say, "There's a good place for the Scrying Ritual just ahead." That ritual finishes the Cadash Thaig portion of WH. There's no more use for the Lanterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khrimzunn Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 I did, but finn never actually reveals the item. I'm standing right on the spot with him and the other elf. So I have no idea what the hell is going on. I can't complete the quest because none of the items appear even after revealing the locations.

Thandal Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Welll... Don't know what you mean by, "... standing right on the spot with him." That sounds like you're standing in the places with the bright blue-white pulsing light. Is that right? If so: Those "spots" are the ones revealed by the spell Finn cast when you first got to the Thaig,(that needed Ariane's blood.) Standing in those is only the first step, but the Lanterns aren't revealed yet. You have to move in the direction that the glowing, floating orbs that will now appear were heading in order to get close enough to the Lanterns for Finn to "find" them. Hope that helps! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khrimzunn Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 The issue is I've found them, I'm on the same spot where I am supposed to be, finn just isn't working his mojo. Talking to him doesn't trigger any action either. See where I'm stuck? I can get one but that would require me to USE the vial, which is only one-time use.

Thandal Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 No, I don't "see where you're stuck", and I have no idea what "vial" you're talking about. Do you mean the result of the spell that Finn works with Ariane's blood? If so, that will continue to work throughout the Thaig. It causes the special pulsing light areas to "exist" in the first place, at which point they appear all over as you approach them. Then when you've triggered Finn to do his thing (usually by standing in those special pulsing light areas and following the resulting floating/glowing orbs) he'll be able to "find" the Lanterns. Like with the pulsing places, as items in the game they don't "exist" until he does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khrimzunn Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Nothing triggers at all. Finn doesn't do anything. I'm on the right spot, I've followed the orbs, finn does nothing aside from stand there looking stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckFlash Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I had the same thing happen, until i realized that Finn has to use the Vial of Blood to make his magic cast.So go to the spot the lights point to, Use the vial, and poof there is the lantern for you to grab.

Thandal Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Ahhhhh... Now I understand the issue. As Chuck points out the vial is a one-time-use item, but it activates Finn's spidey senses so he can find all the Lights throughout the Thaig. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
