Oh NO! bug in 'The Invocation'

[Andy1228]

So I've just completed the fourth part of 'The Invocation' and got the 'Eye of chaos'. When I go back to Imhotep he's still saying I need to get the other artifact. I do have all four boxes checked for the quest. Any suggestions?

Do you have both Eye of Chaos and Hand of Balance in your inventory?

[ASYLUM101]

Ya you need both pieces in your inventory. The quest does glitch out on very rare occasions from what I've seen, in which case idk what to tell you.

[Andy1228]

I do have both in my inventory.

[ASYLUM101]

I do have both in my inventory.

Try dropping both on the floor and picking them up again, or have a friend join you and do a trade and tradeback.

Asylum is right--I get this "bug" every time I play, and the work-around seems to be to talk to Imhotep with both pieces in your inventory, then drop both pieces on the ground and pick them up again. Imhotep immediately takes them from your inventory and begins the Invocation ceremony.

You also need to have both pieces in inventory when you arrive in Memphis to cash in the quest. If you have only one piece in inventory and then go and fetch the other from the Caravan, Imhotep won't register it. It seems that the game does an inventory scan while Memphis is loading and this is what is used to determine Imhotep's position. If both pieces are in inventory when you arrive via the portal, Imhotep loads at the top of the steps. If one or no pieces are in inventory, he loads at the bottom of the steps. Dropping the pieces on the floor and picking them up again causes the game to rescan. However, adding Caravan items into your inventory doesn't. You must either drop them and pick them up, or leave Memphis and then return with both items in inventory.
