Stuck after Fighting Beast of Winter (BOW)

[andnico]

So I've encountered an issue where I cannot progress in BoW's ending.

 

During the final conversation with Rymyrgand, I choose to fight. After winning the battle, the Beast of Winter disappears, and combat ends, but the random spirits still attack my characters. Eventually, the AI on the characters will respond and kill the spirits, but I cannot click to attack them. After the spirits are killed,  nothing happens. My characters are stuck and can do nothing. There is no where to go on the section of white void they are stuck on.

 

 

I see online that there should be a possible journal entry ending that states:

 

"I stood up against Rymrgand and bested his champion in combat. He unceremoniously dumped me back into the world of the living."

 

However, nothing is happening.

 

I will say that I am loading the fight with the Beast from a quick save made right after he smashes his axe. I have to load from this quicksave as the game crashes due to a documented bug with the axe smash (found here ).

 

I would attach attached the quicksave to see if that helps address the issue, however, it is too large to upload, even zipped. Let me know if there is another option for sending the save along.

You can upload your savegame (to dropbox or similar sites) then link it here.

Alternatively you can send it to support (check jlee's post history for it) and then link the topic in that email (as per the posts where he adds the mail-adress).

Thanks. I'll see if I can't find that e-mail.

So I've encountered an issue where I was kind of... the best way I can describe it is out of phase, trapped in an alternate space-time. I couldn't attack the enemies nor could they attack me, nor my summons attack them etc. However! I could easily cast AOE spells to destroy them, primarily the electric AOE priests can buff everyone with, I'd cast that and stand on the enemies until they were dead. I quit the entire game and reloaded the save I had where I was currently unable to walk down a staircase and was instead flying out over the land beneath me. When I loaded the save everything worked fine, so my point is that you can probably AOE things to death and then progress from there without incident if it works (or at least save, quit to desktop, and load and progress from there.)

 

I'd still upload the save so this issue can be addressed, but if you wanted to continue that character this should help.

I was able to kill all the monsters. Nothing happens even after that. My  party is just stuck there, which, ironically seemed a hilariously appropriate end, given that it was the inescapable void and all..
