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.)

What is this? I'm not surprised that you are experiencing bugs in your game and I can guarantee that you will encounter a lot of more bugs in the future. Did you even read the mod's readme file before installing it? you have installed lots of mods which are incompatible with Improved Anvil. And you installed lots of mods after IA. The following mods (in your list) are surely incompatible with IA.

- BG2 Fixpack
- Ascension
- Big Picture
- BG2 Tweakpack
- Oversight
- Amber NPC
- Item Upgrade

Shadows Over Subar is not tested but it's also most probably incompatible. IA would not even install properly after Ascension; you have surely receieved lots of error messages during installation.

Make a clean installation of the game, then install the official patch and add the Baldurdash fixpack to it. Make sure to follow the mod's installation instructions accurately. Improved Anvil should be the last mod you install. The installation guide is attached to the readme file in the related topic in the forum.
