The Silent Step Quest Bug!

[vphilip27]

I killed Ametair and he fell off from the stage and i cant get to loot the Boots! what can i do?
Is there a way to respawn the boots or the quest?

[Yoinkyz]

you should have a quick save and a auto save

[vphilip27]

I did a quicksave after killling him before knowing that this happen. for some reason it also did an autosave after the battle. :(

[Eboshi]

Same here =( Too bad you can't abandon the quest.

[rowaine]

i always save before the fight cause that happened to me once

I got him down to 0 dmg. I'm standing where he can't hit me. Why won't he die?

I read that and I repeat myself when I say I take him down to 0 in the first room. He never teleports to another room. I stood out of reach of his blades with him at 0 hp waiting for him to teleport to another room and he never does. Only if I melee with him and blow lots of heal potions does he teleport to another room. I end up running out of healing potions doing it that way.


To get Buru's Boots, you will have to engage and kill Ametair. As you bring him down in health, he will vanish and go deeper into Arduath. Depending on the damage you can inflict, you might need to only hit him once. This happens three times. On the fourth encounter he will stay to fight. You cannot save the game between these four phases.

Sounds like you glitched him out if you get him to 0 hp in the first room. Maybe use a lower damage wep.

OMG THIS. I took some advice and painfully have made sure to do the least amount of damage possible during each room so that he will go to the next. He goes to the fourth room, and just runs around at 0 health. What am I supposed to do? I played through this original game on steam and never had a problem with *this* particular guy.

The link to that wiki does not help in this situation.

Okay. In the next to last room, I dodged for what felt like forever. When he does go, I think the ONLY way to kill him if you are seeing this glitch is with a Fateshift. The F didn't even pop up for me, but I spammed it anyway and it worked.

Yes same with me I gradually killed him (I have no special DPS) and eventually he stopped running away and he was at zero life but he didn't die. I tried every form of attack I had, but I eventually ran out of potions of healing or resist bleeding.

I was at 1/4 fate meter and hitting him was not gaining it. So I'm going to go exploring and hope to kill him like Aaron ash (above quotation) by using the Fate Meter.

Anyone else facing problems with the Travelers quest Ametaire who has boots I need to loot off of him.

[Prometheus]

I had trouble with him too. I don't know what the next room trigger is specifically but it definitely isn't reliable. I just got stupidly good at parrying him and slogged it out until I won, eventually.

[claudius]

If anyone finds a trick to getting Ametaire to die please post! So far there is the theory that you let him run away several times until he stops running. I got to this point but then his health bar gets stuck on nothing but still alive. So if you find a trick let us know! I haven't tested yet if fate shifting him (after he has run away several times and stops running) will kill him reliably.

EDIT to avoid double post: ok third time was a charm!! This time I only hit him with fae blades and avoid sorcery attacks wondering if those are hitting too hard. Fae blades are less damage per hit than Chakrams. Then he went down at zero health but still 'alive'. Well at that point I decided to abandon my game plan and I started hammering him with the sorcery lighting ball followed by spamming Chakrams and I was delighted to see him die and looted his damned boots. So not sure what made the difference but I guess I encourage to experiment and have confidence that it is possible.

I feel like this is related to one of two things or both. One, you get the quest and don't do it for several levels making you do more damage than the game expects, and/or two, the game expects a very precise amount of damage to be done in a certain amount of time, and if you go over that it glitches out.

I avoided this quest for several levels and had to do this about 15 times yesterday until he finally got to the last room with health left. I zapped him with lightning and then hit with chakrams, though I'd done that before too and it didn't work. I also tried using a staff, which I have no points in, just hitting him with lightning and waiting, etc. I never managed to get him to die after he hit 0 health and was still going strong - the only way was to hit the jackpot and do the "right" amount of damage in each room within the expected time. It is seriously annoying.
