Cant play lute for Art Cullagh

[zazasauser]

Hello,
It seems my quest is kinda stuck. My first guess is thath the problem lies in the Flaming Fist Jehlar. After the attack she somehow randown into the cellar under the room where Art lies.
So i never got any dialogue options with her. I managed to recover the Lute in the House of Healing and the quest lines advance. I even managed to steal the note from Jehlar just to be safe, went back to the house of healing and lootet the Lute again, this triggered the quest, gave me XP and now it says "Maybe playing it for him blabla...".

The problem is, if i play it next to him nothing happens, Halsin is still in camp and only informs me that i should find somebody who is still alive, etc.
No dialogue options when i talk to Art, and if i talk to Jehlar down in the cellar i have sort of a dialogue with Art instead but also no options.

I even tried luring Jehlar to go back again by playing the lute and make her move towards me because of my performance, but she wont move that much.
No dimension door possible on her, showing or throwing will provoke me getting arrested. Also i cannot kill Art and talk to him then, since i will get arrested too.


Does anybody have another idee and can help me?
I am afraid not solving this quest will hinder me in advancing at all?

I have the exact same issue and didn't find any way to fix it. Sucks :(

[Drelnar]

Ok I found a way, I summoned a zombie with Gale near her, I took control of the zombie and and she followed it upstairs to the room :)

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. How do you mean summoned a Zombie?
She just follows the Zombie? Why? :D

[zazasauser]

I managed to get Jehlar up in the room agian and not everything works fine. :)
I played the lute in the corner of te room closest to te stairs to the cellar and she came running.

Not sure if it's related. But Jehlar was always upstairs and wouldn't move. I had no Bards in my party. I went and hired a hireling bard and headed back to last light inn and Jehlar walked straight down stairs to beside Art and I could initiate dialogue.

Edit: I just completed the quest in waking Art. Can't tell if the Bard in my party helped but it was the only change I made that get Jehlar moving.

It is the old version of the party limit remover mod that causes the dialogue to show the lute to Art to not be available. Once you update to the newest version it should work.

I don't have that mod, I have halsin and jehlar next to art, I have the quest up to the point that says "maybe playing [the lute] for him will bring him back to his senses", and everytime I interact with Alt, halsin just steals the conversation and I don't get the option to playing the lute.

Have you fund the work around guys? I cant finish this stupid quest

A) try putting the Lute in camp chest instead of inventory. (workaround)
solutions:
B) Disable BG3 Mod Fixer and/or anything containing it (like BFE Mod).
C) as said above, update PLB Legacy to 1.7.4 if using it.

BTW, I might be wrongly thinking this is caused by the Hotfix 16 quest items bug. Maybe OTHER things are or could be bugged with it. Ahhh, multicausality.

[psychotron666]

The quest is just insanely bugged. I just finished act 2 and was never able to complete the quest because halsin just stands there bugged out. I was able to play the lute and halsin gets his scene but then teleports back to the middle of the inn and doesn't move after he wants me to meet him at the lake (no mods).

[suzohime]

Same problem here. Except that the quest never updated when I got the Lute. Are there any debugging solutions to force a quest to trigger?

In my case, the problem got fixed when I disabled all mods, even those seemingly unrelated ones. I re-enabled them after I went through the quest and haven't encountered any problems since.
