Baptism in Fire glitch? (Spoilers)
Posted: March 7th, 2014, 1:33 am
So, on my first trip through Moonrise, I picked a lock in one of the buildings and found my way to a cemetary with various clickable headstones. (One of them said something about me being a cheater - was that supposed to be inaccessible? If so, there's an error in the map file, because I was able to walk right over. The lock I picked wasn't too difficult.) One of the headstones rotated and said that "something changed," which seemed to be a secret passage over in the temple.
So I headed over there - when I got to the pool area, a bunch of flames shot up, but they did no damage when I walked over it. I'd assumed at the time that it must have just been a psychological test of some sort, that maybe the water was negating the fire damage or something. So I made my way over to Old Moonrise, etc.
Then, eventually, I finished up the quest to deliver the letter to the Rangers, came back with the codeword, and received the official "Baptism in Fire" quest. By that time, I had a second Gildedmoon Pendant, so I had wanted to get back down to the vault. I talked to the priest on the way in, who blew me off because I didn't have the proper ring yet. But then when I got back to the waterflame room, the "Baptism in Fire" quest completed!
So, possible glitches:
1) I was able to get to the cemetary pretty easily. Are those headstones supposed to be inaccessible?
2) The flames in the pool didn't harm me, even though I didn't have the ring in my possession. Are the flames in the pool only supposed to Not Harm You if you've got that ring?
3) The quest completes even though I haven't actually gotten the requisite items.
Of course, #2 and #3 stem more-or-less directly from #1, so that might be the actual main issue.
Not that I'm complaining (the extra XP put me into the next level, after all), but it seems like that quest and gravestone interaction might be glitched somewhat. I haven't gone back to the priest yet, to find out what he'll say now that the quest is officially completed.
