[Spoiler] Viconia Bug - Need Help/Information

[Al_Entity]

[Act 3 Spoilers below]


In Act 3 after the House of Grief main fight with Viconia and her minions:
Normally the knocked out Viconia lies on the floor until fight is over (unless you accidentally kill her in the fight while she is KO'd) from what I know. Then when battle is over while she lays on the floors she engages with Player and Shadowheart.
In my recent ongoing playthrough she got KO'd as expected with La'Zeal plowed through her HP in the first round. Then I saw her while the fight was going on having that "glow animation as KO'd" not killed.
Then after few rounds of fighting where I was very careful not to hurt her so she would not die. Came for the conversation with my Player and Shadowheart.
The cut scene is to my surprise of her standing infront of us as if the fight never happened! Then goes back to the normal conversation she starts when we first enter her chamber. Then as expected due to my history she again starts the fight (again) but of course there is no one to fight and she is basically KO'd. So nothing happens.
If you convo her again same thing repeats.
I am pretty sure it is some bug. Not sure whether it is because as mentioned above I basically 1 turn KO'd her with La'zeal of something else.
Can anyone help me out. I do save regularly. I did try a reload just before end of fight it doesnt seem to help.
Of course it doesnt affect the outcome as I then went on and released Shadowheart parents etc.
But Viconia in BG3 Act 3 is one of my favorite villains. So I am a bit annoyed she seems to be bugging out.
Interestingly this is my first kind of serious bug in Act 3. If anyone knows a fix let me know.
Thanks.

Same thing happening to me at the moment and couldn't find a fix yet...

EDIT: Find a solution. Just knock her out with non-lethal.

You mean at the start of the fight when you are about to kill her go passive and KO her? So according to you guys if I go back on my save and in the first turn turn non-leathal on and KO her should be ok.
Interestingly even if you dont go non-leathal it is supposed to just KO her right?

Yes just knock her out at the end of the battle or go non-lethal full combat your choice. This is just a temporary fix and should address the problem for now.

I encountered this same bug yesterday. Got through the battle (with non-lethal OFF) and Vic was stuck in a loop where she didn't remember ever meeting us, then she'd just pass out at the end of the conversation. I tried healing her before talking to her, knocking her out, etc. Those didn't help.

Redoing the fight with non-lethal turned ON did work for me though. The fight ended, she was there on the ground with 13hp or whatever (instead of 0 like before), and I was able to start the proper post-battle conversation.

This happened to me too and I don't have the opportunity to go back to an earlyer save as I'm playing in honour mode. Quite an annoying bug.

She's in Sanctuary, I can't attack her post fight. Any other suggestions?

She told Shadowheart that she wasn't shadowheart and instead was in her stead. So Shadowheart stabbed her for having dementia.

Just had this happen as well. I killed her with my Paladin (0 HP) though i didn't do it on 1 turn - more like 2.. Went to talk to her... to my surprise she talks to me as if nothing had happened... really weird.. Gonna redo the fight and try to knock her out and see if that works.

edit: indeed making sure that the non lethal damage is turned on makes the dialogue play out as it should. Strange that i needed to do this in this playthrough, in my first playthrough i'm pretty sure that i did not had non lethal damage turned on and it worked fine..

Same happened to me just now, tried turning on non lethal damage, knocked her out with 1hp remaining and everything, but the exact same thing still happened. I love this game but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do i /not/ love spending hours troubleshooting some gamebreaking bug every few quests.

[LaFleur Gamebox]

Same here.

You're supposed to keep her alive? She kept talking with every member of my team so I just stomped her to death and moved on.

Im replying to bump this message, im playing in honour mode and viconia gets sanctuary every ♥♥♥♥♥♥ turn.. fight was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and i had to resort to the ole.. drop 15 smokepowder bombs at my feet because she was in sanctuary and i couldnt hit her. Blew viconia to kingdom come, and now shes stuck in an infinite loop as if the fight never happened, and shes in sanctuary mode.

Playing in honour mode and this just happened to me too. What I did to kill Vic was throw an oil barrel around her then hit with fireball. Wasn't able to get her discussion cutscene with Shadowheart but at least she died!

[SargoXIII]

it still happening
