Is Nyrulna Trident bugged???

[rservello]

So I got the Nyrulna Trident from Jurassic Island and got into battle. All was going well. I was using it to get some extra AOE damage in battle and I tossed it and it didn't come back. I was unarmed. And it completely disappeared from the battlefield! Now it's gone. Is there a limit to how many times you can throw it or was this a bug? I didn't see anything in the description about it having a limit.

yeah, this is just an inconsistent bug, not sure what causes it, but it's best to quick save before any combat where you intend to throw it.

[CoffeePot?]

I've heard that items that are supposed to return to you after theyve been thrown are currently bugged.

I guess its the same issues as returning pike sometimes just not returning

[GiantSama]

i cant throw or uneqiup my nyrulna i did the druid tactic and gave it to karlach and astarion but the weapon becomes bound to both of them aswell

basicly none of my characters can throw/unequip nyrulna if anyone knows a solution pls help
(i could throw it when i first got it + it does not say bound anywhere)

[Kriss Hietala]

yes. it can disappear.

[Lamp]

Been using it really heavily and the only time it's vanished for me was when a sahuagin danced out of my click and I threw Nyrulna in the ocean.

This bug just happened to me in my four player honor mode run. I can't reload (because honor mode) this bug is absolutely game breaking, I no longer have the returning pike, so I literally need to change my characters entire build, I'm so heartbroken.

Trivia: thread is from August 2023
First official report of the bug is from Feburary 2024

I've run a throwing weapon build on Lae'Zel from start to finish, starting with Throwing pike and finishing with Nyrulna, and this never happened to me. However, I've had a few instances where a returning weapon falls on the ground at the feet of the target a few months ago, but I've never ever had that issue happen again recently.

I've seen returning weapons fail to return several times, and even back in 2023, and even long before I started using mods. One of several was Nyrulna. Yes I reported it.

The reports until this month, specifically on Nyrulna whatever its name trident is, were so incredible thin that it could not investigated properly. It was mostly lacking savegames and/or detailed descriptions on how to reproduce it. Only when there were finally screenshots it became understandable what was happening that caused the glitch to occur. And I write glitch because it glitched the weapon and bugged out the GUI. It is not an actual weapon bug.

People really should make better bug reports if they care about such things. I often see dozens and dozens of posts on a matter and found myself astonished when the actual bug reports are close to nonexisting aside from a mention on a side note.

Running a tavern brawler Eldritch Knight right now and the Lightning Jabber seems bugged, it promotes your secondary when thrown and returns to your off hand instead.

Haven't had any issues with Nyrulna after I got it, but thanks to this necro thread, I will now be more careful with it.

This nonexistent bug was written up - and its workaround - at a gaming blog last November.

Why is the Baldur's Gate Returning Pike not returning?

Now: I know. This concerns the Returning Pike, but I have seen the SAME issue with Nyrulna, AND other "returning" weapons, show the same behavior, even BEFORE I started using mods.

I admit I am not the best at reporting bugs in the most productive way. Especially as I am on a non-standard platform I'm not sure how useful my reports are. All I don't like is being told they are not real when they are widely reported on.

[Gentlest Giant]

I think this happens more consistently when you throw INTO a combat when the thrower is OUT of combat.

Like reddit or forums posts, gaming blogs are no bug reports.

It is a pity if that author did not reported it properly so the support staff did not have the necessary information at hand to have the developers address the issue.

That is categorised as a different issue in fact.

As mentioned before, now the specifc Nyurthingytrident has an investigation about a glitch which affects the GUI. The weapon itself works as intended, but the GUI can mess up and lead to misleading behaviour in regards of the weapon. It is reproducable and confirmed at least that that way you actually can lose the weapon.
