TheRoc Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 G'day All,I have been through the Discussion threads to see if anyone has addressed this issue before or not and couldn't find anything. I seem to have a broken ocularum... Trying to locate the last... three(?) shards in the Basin, the ocularum near the Avvar fishing jetty (where you get the bot for the island). I can click on it and use it, but it simply states I have 0/0 shards and will not highlight any anywhere. I Googled the locations to make sure what I needed and can see them marked on maps online, but they do not appear unless I can see them through the skull (and I double checked that by going to the location of the two easiest to reach). I couldn't find a mod to address this and no Google searches that tell of a work around. I can't open that door in The Mystery of Winter without them it seems. Is there one?

Thandal Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Are you sure you haven't already collected the shards visible from that ocularum? An ocularum reporting "0/0" usually means that you have already "seen" all of the shards that might have been discoverable from that particular one. There are three oculara in the Basin, and a total of (12) shards. How many have you found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoc Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Are you sure you haven't already collected the shards visible from that ocularum? An ocularum reporting "0/0" usually means that you have already "seen" all of the shards that might have been discoverable from that particular one. There are three oculara in the Basin, and a total of (12) shards. How many have you found?No, in fact the ocularum in question doesn't even show up on the map like the other two (one just outside of the base camp, one up near the 'possessed' avvar), and if seen, I'm not getting the diamond location markers on the map. This was the last one I was collecting and I am getting nothing from it - I had no issues with the others. Back in the base game there was a known bug with one of the ocularum that did exactly the same thing and the fix was something like reload a save from point X and do something different like go left instead of right when you did such and such or there was a mod that fixed it (I don't recall, I had the issue and did the workaround as there wasn't any or many mods back then so I'm assuming it wasn't a mod fix unlike DA:O had for some of its problems). I spent most of yesterday searching for a similar thing but found nothing. I am skipping this bit for now, it just irks me that it is a side quest that I know I can finish if I can get the last three shards, but just can't get the shards. Not a game breaker, just annoying to me. :smile: Edited May 25, 2017 by TheRoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoc Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Well, I don't know what to say. Working on what I was seeing on my map (I had the two collected sets of ocularum shards and both ocularum remained on my map - the broken ocularum not!), so I went back to the keep and found all my furnishings (throne, rugs, banners) gone and I put that down to finishing the dragon and speaking to everyone I was supposed to speak with just like it happened with finishing Corphys. But to double check the comment above about 0/0 shards normally meaning they have been collected I returned to the base camp and the ocularum outside of it. Looking at the map, none of the ocularum were now marked? However, I was able to use that one to collect three more shard! Travelling to the one near the hut to the west it too supplied me with four shards! The broken one still gives me nothing and all were showing 0/0 but I looked anyway and SHAZZAM! Bonus shards! Don't know what happened, but I have four leftover shards I have no use for at the moment - though I am yet to do the dwarven expansion so they may be handy there maybe? So for some weird glitch reason, case closed and completed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Definitely weird. No use for shards in "Descent", (or "Trespasser" for that matter.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
