Chapter 7 Bug

[enversi]

Help, I can't get passed Chapter 7 on the PC. I am having a bug where trolls will get knocked down but I can't finish them off. They will just lie there forever. Since the level requires you to kill all the trolls I can't finish because these troll never die.

Has anyone else got this bug?

How in the world did you get to 7. In 5 the raft keeps getting stuck and sinks. What a buggy game so far.

Please make a SERIOUS patch because that is what it will take to get this game right Atari.

I am curently in chapter 8, I just finished chapter 7. When the TROLLS are laying on the ground you have to "Coupe De Grace" them by pressing the L ALT button (if using keyboard). Now the trolls can only die by fire, so you have to swing your weapons through the fire pits you see along the sides of the map.

I never had an issue with my RAFT sinking in chapter 5. maybe you took to long fighting the BOSS I don't know.

Good luck, I hope this helps.

First of all, for patches its Zono not atari that would be doing them. They ported the game from the consoles.
As for the trolls, fire kills trolls pretty standard. Do as Drizzt said, light your weapons on fire before trying to finish them off. Theres brairs all around, attack one, your weapons will glow a bit, NOW goto town.

I know you have to kill them with a lighted weapon. What I meant was that some trolls it is impossible to use the finishing move on. They lie on the ground and never get up. I can't even target them for the finishing move.

I had that problem too, trolls would just lie there and not Die. Realised the problem got worse the higher I bumped the resolution. So I used the suggestion about the raft problem and minimised the res all the way down to 640x480 (60hz?) Got past the level with no more problems. I dunno, maybe the game wants you to hit a big juicy pixel as you skewer the trolls.

i just managed to pass lvl 5 with the annoying sinking raft.. just TRY to get the raft stable... TRY to even the weight caused by the enemies getting onto it, try as hard as you can cause it takes A LOT OF TIME AND PATIENCE, when your raft sinks and get stucked just select the character with the less energy bar and go into battle not fighting! that would cause you to start from the beggining of the raft part, just TRY TO MAKE IT TO THE BOSS then it doesn't matter if it sinks or whatever just select Illius and start casting charged ranged attack and sleep (if you have it) do that until the spider queen is dead and voilá you're now on lvl 6.

As for lvl 7 i'm playing on 640x480 60 Hz and i just have the same problem with the darn trolls.. playing as drizzt i can't coupe de grace 'em and neither do my fellows nor my characters too! this game is pretty buggy, :/ and it's very promising i think atari and zono have to work a lil' more instead of bringing a console game into PC. Maybe they have made their own PC release for Demon Stone... well if anyone have any solutions i'll be keeping starting the game on lvl 7 once and another 'till i managed to pass through... good luck for ya all :)

I too am having the "troll that won't die" bug. Screen resolution makes no difference, using different characters for the coup de grace makes no difference. Having a patch would probably make a difference.... but no word from Atari on this.

Please post if anyone finds a truly workable solution.

I realized the reason the LAST troll could not be killed or get back up was that it was STUCK on the ground. Part of it's arm was embedded into the ground. After getting myself killed to restart, I'm managed to get them all killed. I figured out that walking up between their legs, I could coup de grace them all the time instead of trying over and over again from every other position and missing. I was glad to get past that nightmare.

Unfortunately, I had to use the downloaded save file that was posted to get past Kildred's (sp?) Shield Guardian part...the golem part....because I could not move it at all. Also, the raft was a nightmare and I gave up on it.

All I can say is THANKS for the saved game file.

By the way, I'm using the PC DVD-ROM.

Oh! And of course, I believe you have to have a flaming weapon while they are on fire laying on the ground when you coup de grace them. Can't remember.

Hi, just to let you know that after lowering all resolution and shadow and all graphic stuff to mininal I finally succeeded at killing all the Troll on chapter 7. But I do hope that this is fixed soon because it's bad to have to lower all the graphic to finally make it trought a chapter...

What does this mean? if they are on the ground, can you do the coup de Grace on them or not? Does it hit them and they don't die, or you just can't do the move?

can you take a screenshot?

I'va had one on the ground STUCK there so it couldn't get up. It had part of its arm embedded on the ground. You couldn't coup de grace it too. Also, when I would attack it, it would rotate around it's embedded arm. This happened to me once. I guess it was a graphics glitch that may occur.
