Arcane Tower Bernard still bugged?

[Brave Pixel]

I've read all correct papers and books and made him ally me, give me a hug, and then a potion of greater healing, but he stands there now still. He has not provided a ring for me to enter the basement in, and I'm at a complete loss.

Supposedly there was an update where before he put a ring on a desk, the ring now appears in the quest log, but I'm sure I don't have any quest log relating to the Tower.

I spoke to Omelleum(?) who suggested I need 2 ingredients from the tower, but in my Journal, there's no option to redeem a quest reward. I have scoured my inventory and reloaded saves a few times to redo this and still no ring.

What can I do?

N.B. I've found plenty of the Spores for his request, but cannot find any tongues in the tower.

doesn't he put the ring on the table?

No, he stands at the back by the window and there is no new dialogue with him besides the one which aggro's him

If you're having trouble getting the ring for some odd reason, you can actually get into the hidden basement with the Mage Hand cantrip.

When you're in the normal basement with the generator, if you angle the camera near the bottom of the staircase to the first floor, there's a gap where you can see the hallway to get into the hidden basement. If you cast Mage Hand through the gap, you can have it press the button to open the hidden door, letting you walk right down there.

As for the ring, are you certain you found all of the poetry lines? There is one line of poetry for every floor aside from the hidden and normal basement floors, including one on the roof alongside Bernard.

Did you find the book with the passage that makes him give you the ring? IIRC, it's on the greenhouse floor.

I have never had a problem with him giving me the ring. That doesn't mean there may not be some kind of bug, but if there is, then it's not an "every time" kind of thing.

Also, the tongues are on the greenhouse floor too.

Thanks, I had to do the Mage Hand method to get into the basement, which I also found the tongue. A shame because I wanted the bit of story for the ring, and didn't want to fight him to get it

If you had to find the tongue in the basement, you missed a floor. I am assuming you missed the book as well. The ring, as I recall, is just added to my inventory as a reward.

It was never bugged. Pretty much all people who have had issues with it skipped items they should have been aware of.

You have to read all the books in the tower
