Two Atris bug, stuck at endgame

[mountedcookie]

Hi there,

 

I have TSLRC and a couple of other mods installed (I made sure they were listed in the compatibility thread at the native forum), except maybe one: Antinate's atris mod which alters her appearance. I don't know for sure if that's the one that's causing problems, either with or without the collision with tslrc.

 

Short story:

 

Second telos academy scene. Two Atris instances present. Atris retreats to holocron collection room, exile follows her, exile turns around, facing the other Atris instance that stayed in previous chamber, because that's the Atris that's doing the conversation. Which means that THAT Atris should be turning aggro. But holocron chamber door is locked. So, no fight -> no defeat of Atris -> no trigger for next cutscene. Stuck. Unless I find a wallhack, which lets me go through walls.

 

Long story:

 

So, the bug. I made my way through most of the game (btw, first playthrough since a restoration mod was actually released - haven't played since 2005), right now I'm at the Telos academy. First minor nuisance was that when the Handmaiden was confronted by her sisters, I received her self-reminding instructions of stunning and killing "applying the right amount of force", and the same with a game mechanic view written between [ ] - and the cutscene part goes black, and I hear struck down handmaiden voices. I sort of remember this "slacker" type of game designer solution from the vanilla game - I guess the fight was cut out, and the mod's restoration was somehow half-applied, due to some mistake or error. If I don't click fast enough on the only [ ] dialog option which explains the stun/kill thing again, the game doesn't revert back from the blackout, and I can't continue. And when I get out of the cutscene mode, I automatically get dark side points, but I guess that's the problem with the restoration being half-applied. Bug. Oh well. I can live with it.

Second is a real menace, though. Atris appears. Twice. Come to think of it, there may have been two Atrices when the exile first arrived to the telos academy, but that didn't cause any problems. So, Atris appears twice, only one character talks, fights with handmaiden, that is, I fight atris with handmaiden, Atris strikes down her with lightning in cutscene, exile appears. Conversation, Atris goes attackable. After struck down, she retreats to her sanctum, the second Atris instance stays there. And the exile, while the sanctury-that-is-filled-with-holocrons door closes behing her, talks to the Atris instance that stayed in the previous chamber. So the other Atris that retreated to her sanctuary, won't turn aggro, and I can't fight the aggro Atris because the door is locked. So I'm stuck.

 

I'm thinking about downloading a "force choke anyone" type of mod, kill the non-retreating Atris just like that, then confront the retreated Atris.

 

Any other ideas?

Hello again,

 

The force choke works to some extent, at least it continues the cutscenes. If I force choke the second Atris with Force Choke Anyone, then it triggers the cutscene where Handmaiden is struck down by her force lightning. Which means that there will be two Handmaidens (two Brianna characters spawned) also, but that doesn't inhibit the flow of the game much. So, after that cutscene, I have to defeat the second atris, so, doing the same part again. And then the second atris retreats to the sanctum, too. Which means I get to fight her one last time to end the Telos Academy part of the endgame.

 

A bit tricky, and the solution spawns another minor glitch, but I made it through. Btw, I'd like to thank the modders who have put so many effort in making the game more complete, interesting, and more fun to play. Thanks guys
