Working fix for a Stygian Lurker quest rewards

[EMan77]

I must not have installed it correctly. It wasn't removed from my quest list.

I suppose you already completed this quest, correct?
Now, you have to remove que files, belonging to it. See the instructions. If you did this right, Stygian Lurker quest should disappear from your log.
After that just go to a quest giver and he'll talk about how good is that beast is dead and reward you with attribute points.
Also remember or write down your stats before getting reward, so to make sure you get it. You probably have older saves if you need to check it.

What cmd script in archive does is just searching for .que files containing "xsq13_stygianlurker.qst" string, and removing them. You can do this yourself if you know how to use certain tools.

.que files placement:
C:\Documents and Settings\User\My Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne\SaveData\Main\CharName\Levels_World_World01 .map

Yup, quite a few of my characters have done this quest.

I unzipped the .arz file where it said to and put the .cmd file where it wanted it. Ran the .cmd, then went in and loaded up one of my characters who had done this quest.

It was still there in the log as completed and I got no reward from talking to the NPC again.

Means something went wrong with removing quest files.

If you still want these rewards you have to do some work.

1. Backup your saves. Somewhere should be a FAQ how to do this, I can't explain everything.

2. Find files named 3a5748602b907731288ccc4a12be30ea.que
with Start -> Search or whatever you using. It should be one file for each difficulty level for each char.

3. Check these files contents, with notepad or something more suitable. Search for xsq13_stygianlurker.qst, if it's there, it means these are the right files, you can remove them.
Or you can just delete them without checking, as you have backup anyway.

That seemed to work. Now I just hope that I put the fix on properly for my characters who haven't quite made it to Act 4 yet.

I remember reading elsewhere that the Three Generals quest in Hades is also messed up like this. Wonder if the rest of the quests that involve rewards that add permanent skill increases are all like this...

Thanks for the help kalyan.

You should still talk to a quest giver, exit game, enter it and check if rewards are here. Future chars should be fine as long as database.arz replaced.

I looked at generals quest and didn't noticed anything wrong. Seems not as obvious to fix as lurker. I just hope it's not in the code, hehe.
Aveth9 should look into it soon, so we'll see.

I heard Generals works in normal, but the bonus disappears after restarting in Epic and Legendary. So maybe it's a stacking problem, the game can only apply the 5% damage bonus once. Maybe it never works though, I didn't test it.

Lampido's Potion is supposedly also broken the same way the Lurker quest is.

Basically none of the permanent bonus quests in IT work. The health bonus and the resist bonus quests in Greece work though.

I think the last time when I got lampido reward I checked it with exiting game, and it seems to stay. Will pay more attention to it next time.
Would be good to heard from others about that.

Hades' Generals works only one time.

Seems like it works. Since Poinas said it I guess it's pretty reliable.

What do you mean by pretty reliable



Yeah, I've tested the generals quest on several characters, and it gives (permanent) +5% total dmg when you complete it in normal, but not anymore in epic and legendary.

Lampido's potion works 100% correctly.
