Seasoned Roamer How Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I went into Chapter 2 prematurely. When I got down to the bottom of many waterfalls, ultimately I kept getting hit by an Ice Hydra that I could not see. ?Invis? I wanted out of Chapter 2 realizing I went there too soon. I recalled the boat and then tried to recall my party but was told I could not do so indoors. I went to my prior saved game and the boat was gone there too! (Game was saved about an hour earlier than the edited save) Is there anyway I can fix this short of going to a really old save like from days ago?

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I believe the E2 editor allows you both to return your party to start (should work out of town) and to return the boat in Chapter 2 to the place it started. If the editor's not working then you have problems. —Alorael, who thinks there already may be some data corruption. Ice hydras should not be invisible. Are you sure you aren't being hit by hydra breath from off screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you aren't being hit by hydra breath from off screen? It DID allow me to return the boat but will NOT permit me to return my party. I think it says I can't do so because I'm indoors or something close to that. About what was hitting me, I thought the message kept saying Ice Hydra. Whatever it is, I could not see it for some reason and it affected every member of my party like an AOE spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Ice hydra breath might hit all party members if they're in non-combat mode. —Alorael, who believes you have to be outside to return to start. You can either leave the town or use the editor to remove your party from the town before returning them to the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I think there is a cheat code that also returns the party to start, but I don't remember since I never used them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 If you use the editor to leave town, you can then use it to return to the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what you mean. I'm not in town now. I'm in the beginning of part 2 below many waterfalls. Could you explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ice hydra couldn't have attacked you, if you weren't. You need to get outdoors again. The editor can help you to leave town/dungeon. edit: if your party is not in combat mode while being attacked, you are in some dungeon.

I don't understand what you mean. I'm not in town now. I'm in the beginning of part 2 below many waterfalls. Could you explain? In Exile/Avernum terminology "town" refers to any area that is not part of the overland map, including dungeons, caves, etc. If you have a button to enter/leave combat mode, you are in a "town" if you don't have such a button, you are "outdoors". PS You can scroll the screen by using "look" command and clicking on the border of play area. This way you can see what is attacking you. And, as Alorael said, if you aren't in combat mode any breath, firebalt, or similar attack will hit all party members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan ef Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Didn't you save before you went down into the tunnel in Formello? So that you could just return to that save? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
