Shany Quest - Unkillable Demon??
   

Heya, I'm a new Arx Fatalis player, running version 1.15. I'm on the Shany quest; I've killed all five priests (the three walking ones, and the two outside of the altar room (one has a nasty dagger + heals himself). Anyway, no problem, fireball ate them and one even let me into the altar room before he died.

In the altar room is a big horrible red demon thing, with biiiig claws. Shany is still alive (on altar under demon), and can be freed (I've tried this). Whether I free her or not, the demon is (as far as i've tried) unkillable! I've thrown like 6 fireballs at it, pounded it with my axe (str 9, +dmg 4), and used up 6 heal and 2 mana potions just to survive. no matter what i do, the demon barely looks stunned, just keeps coming till I'm dead. Shany runs about uselessly, I can't seem to herd her towards an exit (either portal or steps).

From other posts it looks like there shouldn't even BE a demon if shany is alive?? Has anyone else run into this before? And if you didn't save Shany, let me know how you killed the demon?

Cheers WereCat

Shanny
   

You might have a bug, use the first thread and ask them. You might want to download the last patch (1.16a) or you could end up with a few more bugs in the soup. I don't believe the demon is suppose to be there if Shanny is alive, so ask the big boys right away so you don't waste time playing and then find out you have to start over. I let the poor girl die and never did kill that demon. Just ran like heck. When I came back it was gone. They are very hard to kill and it takes a long time and a lot of strenght and health points. Save those potions, you will need them later a lot more.

If the demon appears, Shany should be dead; you must kill the priests before the demon is summoned. I'd say this is a bug. Check in with Julien Roby at Arkane, he visits here and at the JoWood boards fairly regularly, and his email is posted in various places. He will most likely be able to help.

Ya exactly, the demon only appears if youre too late.

The clock starts when you see the preists walking out of the O shaped tunnel area.
If you wait too long they kill shaney and a demon comes. You can kill the demon with a few fireballs as well. But better to save shany so go back to an earlier save

Erk...
   

Due to only having two save slots and trying so hard to kill the demon , I don't have any previous saves... I hate starting again, it's so depressing! Pity the game can be broken so easily...

Will try emailing the first thread and asking Julien Roby... if anyone knows his email feel free to post

Thanks guys,
WereCat
