Watcher's Keep problem, posted by Tajoumaru, [Topic split by Baronius] Options

TWO WATCHER'S KEEP ISSUES (that are likely related):

1. The ritual candle ("PLOT01F") that is stolen by the Fanatic Spirit ("S!CANGUA") automatically disappears from my inventory regardless of the Fanatic Spirit's status (not appeared yet, living, or dead).
2. The Ritual on level one of the Keep cannot be completed, likely due to this issue with the candle.

Upon acquiring both the bell and the candle, a ghostly figure appears named "Fanatic Spirit". It attacks the party while simultaneously stealing the bell and candle. Upon rescuing the candle from the creature's corpse it suddenly vanishes again (the *bell* doesn't vanish, however). Creating a new candle (item "PLOT01F") does create a new candle, but it disappears from inventory almost instantaneously.

While it's possible to create a candle and quickly stash it in the ritual altar, and the candle doesn't disappear from the altar, the ritual does not work and I cannot descend to level two. I have to assume that the ritual doesn't work because of the status of the candle.

Any ideas? I've played around with DLTCEP and NearInfinity to resolve this but with no luck so far - the candle won't stay in inventory, and the ritual cannot be completed.

(BTW, I tried uploading my WeiDU log file but it did not allow it.)

Neither of these two problems should occur if you have not practiced any sort of cheats during the game. I just double checked the codes and didn't find any bugs. Also, during the testing stage, I tested the first level of WK myself and didn't find any such problems.

The strange thing in your report is that you say the bell doesn't disappear and it just happens for the candle; while the pieces of codes which make the candle to disappear have totally identical forms with the codes which make the bell to disappear. I don't see how the codes can be bugged for one of them but not for the other one.

Moreover, leonidas and LZJ have already completed the entire game once and didn't report such an issue.

Nonetheless, I ask Raven to test it again and send me the report.
