 | The first time I played, I had no problem, the quest completed, he offered to train me though I did not, and he exited my party. It was the second time I played where I encountered the bug. I had not saved for a while, big mistake, and did not want to do all the stuff over. So thanks, I know there is a correct way to complete the quest, the lesson is, to save right before going to do the quest. | Mongo1 09/10/2007 20:28 |
 | You can complete the quest and learn ice explosion .to acomplish this u have to take nefarious in the cave and force guide him until he gets into the chamber with the three stone tablets .once you get him there when u talk with him once to tell him the tomb is safe , second time you try to talk with him will have option to learn ice explosion . the bug is still there though cause you learn the spell but still can't get rid of him unless killing him you can use the new learned spell | IoZ 09/10/2007 01:42 |
 | Yeah, I tried the lion thing and Nefarious did one spell and I was DRT. I had to use Ring of Fire scrolls and stay close to him so he could not retaliate; that worked after several tries, spell would knock him back and then he could retaliate, DRT again | Mongo1 17/06/2007 16:24 |
| i had thesame problem. But i transformed into an animal (in my case a Lion) and just killed the mage... it worked very good | GiesGoes 28/05/2007 19:47 |
| That won't work for me because the beasts are all dead. And Nefarious won't budge from where he is. | Mongo 01/04/2007 13:01 |
| He can dye if you take him to the beasts and while the beasts hit him stand in his back so he cannot retire or heal.He is instantly killed by beasts you din't have to left click when he's down. | Kill nefarius 01/04/2007 06:04 |
| Hmmm! Read I said I did not try magic (check the nick) I am a pure melee fighter, if a bow does not work why would I assume that magic would be any different, both are range attacks? I intend to go back and try a scroll spell to see if it does work. Doesn't change the fact that the quest is buggy. | Mongo 31/03/2007 23:31 |
| are you noobs????of course you can kill a companion. any kind of magic damages him and he atacks u (but remains blue) even if you knock him down he will still be blue. | nefarius 31/03/2007 22:40 |
| I tried shooting him with a bow and it did no damage. Did not try magic, but perhaps a summoning might work. | Mongo 31/03/2007 15:08 |
| No, it is possible to kill a companion. I cast rain of fire and killed him. | Sate 31/03/2007 14:57 |
| This quest is bugged, many times Nefarious will not leave you (remains blue as a companion), but also will not follow, and you can not kill a companion, thus you can't complete the kill all water mages quest, but you can still get enough reputation to enter Ishtar. And Nefarious will not teach you anything unless you manage to complete with no bug (remains companion). If bugged, you will get 'Nefarious waiting' message each time you complete a teleport. | Mongo 24/03/2007 15:34 |
| Also it maybe interesting to know after doing these quest Nefarius can learn you Ice Explosion. | Pally Din Din 21/03/2007 23:25 |
