[BUG]: The Legend of Ansur book disappears

[CrimeMaster Gogo]

This bug appears under specific scenario.

Earlier discussion starts here in this thread when bug was not encountered by then:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1086940/discussions/0/3958161899240462723/

Preface: I made Wyll broke his pact and also I didn't started the "Avenge the IronHand" mission
What happens is after few long rests and after killing Orin, Florrick came to me and said that Duke Ravenguard is dead. I persuaded her by saying that I will still save him. Florrick then gave me "The Legend of Ansur" book and gave the backstory behind it saying I have to pass this info to Wyll which I never did. Since I believe I will save Duke himself and get this info directly from him in front of Wyll. And this has been discussed in the above mentioned steam discussion too.

Now after saving Duke, I noticed that I already have "The legend of Ansur" book but the moment Duke Ravenguard leaves the basement where the submarine is (i.e. Flymm Cargo), The book magically disappears from my inventory.

I noticed this when I went to my base and after the usual story between Wyll and Ravenguard happened, Wyll asked me again to read the book and find Ansur, but that book is no where in my inventory anymore.

I had to backtrack a few save files and then I noticed that the book disappears as soon as Duke leaves the basement of Flymm Cargo.

Please developers, look into this since it's a really annoying bug which soft locks the entire mission.

I noticed this too. Granted, I played evil durge and wiped out grove, so wyll left, but I did rescue ravengaurd and he basically gave me the same speech but no book.

Not sure, but I think You won't get the book if you don't have Wyll because He thinks only a true legend can awoke the sleeping Dragon which he considers himself in the beginning but after showing him what his son Wyll sacrificed to save him and Baldur's Gate (deal with Mizora etc), he starts to have a new found respect for his son.

Again, just a hypothesis. Not confirmed.

yeah that's why I'm thinking I'm not going to be much help, but I am doing another playthrough, if I can get by my issue (gith oathbreaker), I'll pay attention when I get there and let you know.

You dont need the book to enter the wyrmway, just go there yourself.

How would your character know where exactly you have to go under the prison if you don't read the book even once?

And if it still allows then it's bad design honestly.

Anyways, items shouldn't just disappear from the inventory whatever the scenario is.

well it's actually a D&D mechanic. But I feel the target numbers for bashing a solid oak door is really low in game.

You can tell Wyll when time comes up that you already have faced Ansur and destroyed the dragon. So yes, it allows you to go there early before reading the book.

The book also disappeared for me - However, I was able to pickpocket it from the duke afterward :) If he is in your camp, go through them pockets!

Yea you don’t need the book.
If you know how to get in you can in fact just rush and get the sword as soon as you enter the keep. Before even going to the ceremony.

I do this all the time as I like to have the OP sword on me and use it in the other boss fights .

Naturally this will glitch some dialogues like Wyll will be telling you how we need to speak with his father right away while the Duke is still in prison/ under Gortash control.

But anyway you don’t need the book at all

I am having this problem except it was never in my inventory and its not in the duke's either. Idk what to do. What are the odds that this glitch happens again if I try to get from florrick

You dont need the book, you can just go there and open the way.
