Stuck in the death of Balreth
Valije
✭✭✭
Hi
I want to know if there is someone who coudn't end the quest "The Death of Balreth" because you can't summon the atronachs after defeating him. The quest is in VR1.
Thing is I play with a NB and DW (or, even worse, bow). Killing him is really a PITA with this class. I already entered the dungeon and kill the boss around 15 times. No, it is not an exageration, I did it that many times (so yes, it is doable with a NB).
Of course those tries were not in the same day. When I remember the quest, enter the dungeon and after a LOT of time manage to kill the thing, only to get stuck after the useless companion says "Now, summon the guardians! Touch Balreth's prison to draw them in. There is nothing to activate. The marker is over the spirit but can't do a thing to activate anything.
Reading around on forums people talk about the "storm amulet", wich I don't have. I canceled the quest and started it again, but nothing. It amuses me, because people use that amulet to stun Balreth. Some complain about it being "only" 5 seconds. I wish I have something to stun him a single second.
You can figure out by now how pissed I am after managing to kill him so many times without the tool there is supossed to use, only to be unable to continue.
I suspect I can't continue because I don't have the quest item, but was unable to get it even after restarting the quest and in several days.
Yes, I opened a ticket (several in fact) and the usual things are done (reloadui, etc). I even waited a new patch just in case they fixed it.
Ingame help is useless of course. Killed it at 17:30. Now it is 18:43 and the only answer is silence after using the ingame help.
It is really frustating wanting to play the game, ignoring all the problems my class have (and ignoring those who cry who now can't kill 5 mobs at a time because they get nerfed, lol) and being unable to end quest with thing like these. And, of course, support ingame is inexistent.
If some of ZOS read this I think the best way is to send me the quest item (wich I thing should be a must) by mail just to try it again, because I supect that can be the bug: you cant summon the atronachs without the amulet.

Valije✭✭✭Just a follow-up.
I checked again the my inventory and there was the storm amulet. I thought someone from ZOS had read this thread and added it to the inv.
Entered the instance again and... guess what? No talisman inside the instance. Killed Balreth again (I would like to know how many times I did that. I hold the record for sure) and coudn't continue again.
Ouside the dungeon there was again the amulet.
So I think my bug is the amulet banishes INSIDE the instance, but I already have it.0 -

✭✭How did you manage to kill Balreth? I am having a huge issue with this one because he is not responding to my attacks what so ever. I have watched several vids on youtube and every time someone with a melee attacks him when he is running to the lava pit he responds, but when I do it, it totally ignores my attacks and keeps going for the lava pools. This is getting frustrating because it is actually HARDER to beat him than it was Molag Bal!! I am a NB and using a fire staff with shock damage.Far too many characters to list any more.0 -
Valije✭✭✭He runs first to the left lava pool and then to the right one, even if he is near the other one.
In the shores of the right one there is crevice where you can get in and he follows you. It is the fartest place form the left pool. Just be sure he is in that crevice around he hits the amount of life left when he run to the pool.
Either it keeps fighting with you there or you should be able to kill him before he reaches the left lava pool.
I did it in Vet mode all the times but shoul be similar in normal mode.0 -

I tried this and he never stays there. I am Vet1 with a nightblade and he won't respond to my attacks what so ever. I use the E button to activate the talisman to stun him to get a few more hits before he runs away but once the time is over I can hit him 10 times before he reaches the lava pool, but he won't stop and turn around.
Frankly, I am kinda fed up with the Vet content being a pain for the Nightblade characters. Between one hit fire breath kills and this. It isn't fun to play any more.Far too many characters to list any more.0 -

✭✭Yes there is a bug, or was, at launch. You just have to keep trying and do not loot him after you kill him. Normally this will allow the atronarchs to spawn so you can imprison him again0 -
Valije✭✭✭Another patch, another try, another fail...
Dropped the quest, started it again and got the storm talisman. Inside the Balreth instance the talisman dissapeared and had nothing to stun him.
After defeating Balreth again (would like to see a counter) I can't activate anything and can't continue the quest.
There are 7 Caldwell's quests in Stonefalls and can't access the last 5 because they are blocked by this quest.
Did not see anything about it in next patches changelog. Should I open another ticket just in case you forgot this quest is still broken?Edited by Valije on June 17, 2014 6:46PM0
