May 10, 20187 yr I'm still very early in the game, trying to do the Blow the Man Down quest at Fort Deadlight. I'm stealthing it, so I found Lamond and decided to go along with his plan of luring out Benweth by stealing his ship. I got to the underground dock, killed everyone, and then went up to the western rampart and rang the bell 3 times like he said to. Nothing happened, so I went back down to the underground docks and the ship was indeed gone...but I had no idea what to do next. My journal hasn't updated since I first heard Lamond's plan. Lamond and his crew are gone from the forge area, but Benweth is still in the command area and hasn't reacted. I'm trying to complete this by killing as few pirates as possible, so did I completely miss something, or is this quest bugged?
May 10, 20187 yr Hello Battican, Very weird and unfortunate, sorry this has happened! Would you be able to provide save game so we can look into the issue? Best, -Caleb https://support.obsidian.net/category/18-technical-issues I like big bugs and I cannot lie...
May 10, 20187 yr Same problem here. Lamond is gone. Rang the bell, the ship is gone, but Benweth stays in his room with his very very powerful guards .
May 10, 20187 yr Author Here's the file; I was eventually able to complete the quest using the alternate method of blowing him up with the harpsichord. Do Lamond and the Drake come back at some point or did I not miss anything by completing the quest this way? https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhJLMGCnDAJnhm3uV9RpS_c2ryX_
May 12, 20187 yr Author Seems others have reported the issue is with the bell, and might have something to do with being in stealth mode during the ringing.
May 12, 20187 yr I think you might be supposed to go back to Lamond and tell him you've cleared the docks? I did that before ringing the bell and the quest proceeded as it was supposed to.
May 12, 20187 yr Author I think you might be supposed to go back to Lamond and tell him you've cleared the docks? I did that before ringing the bell and the quest proceeded as it was supposed to. Ah that might explain it. Will probably be starting a new playthrough after some patches anyway. Did you get any journal entries after you cleared the dock?
May 13, 20187 yr Seems others have reported the issue is with the bell, and might have something to do with being in stealth mode during the ringing. That's it for me. Same thing as OP when I was in stealth when I rang it, when I reloaded and rang the bell without stealth it all worked.
May 19, 20187 yr You are apparently supposed to not be in stealth mode when ringing the bell - that was the difference for me. Successful completion was: Clear the docks. Inform Lamond. Ring the bell while not in stealth. Benweth then runs right up to the bell.
January 5, 20197 yr This bug still persists. I'm not in stealth, I reported back to Lamond and now the ship, Lamond and the others are gone. Bell doesn't do anything. Reloaded. Quit and loaded. Exitted the area and tried again. Nothing. Edit: After reloading 5 times it worked all of a sudden. Edited January 6, 20197 yr by AeonsLegend
