Clasp Of Death

[AlexTheCruel]

i dont know what im doing wrong but i cant get this item. I killed both advisors (septimus and the lady), i used the midnight bolt in act 4 to get the first blood drop, and i killed my lover(dearan) before ascending. Zacharius says hes intrigued by me and happy, then disappears without giving me the clasp. please help!

Based on the guide I found:

Zacharius will show up to gloat about how he has you exactly where he wants you. If you have...

Made the correct analysis at the end of the Chapter 4 Mythic Quest
Killed both Elyanka and Septimus
Performed all three of the sacrifices (not having a romance counts as sacrificing emotions)

...then selecting "Have I ever disregarded your advice? We have much in common. I'm sure you understand that it is better to have someone like me as your ally, and not your enemy" will result in Zacharius deciding to become your friend (ending slide) and give you a gift (Clasp of Death).

The correct analysis in chapter 4 would be:

When you report, choose the following options to get his approval:

"Nocticula took away her enemy's will to live. I think that's what killed Alinythia."
"[Show him the black crossbow bolt] "Nocticula used an enchanted weapon to extinguish the passion in Alinythia's heart."" or "I think it was some kind of spell."

And the 3 sacrifices would be wealth (a specific item or half your gold), youth (giving you some penalties), and love (sacrificing your lover).

so after selecting "Have I ever disregarded your advice? We have much in common. I'm sure you understand that it is better to have someone like me as your ally, and not your enemy", he says we are not the same and i just got lucky, so it seems hes angry at me... but i did all the steps so im not sure why :(

I just got it yesterday. He wasn't happy that I didn't give him his phylactery straight away but he still accepted me in the end.

The things he commented on were:
Figuring out how to dampen your soul in Act 4 Mythic Quest
Killing both advisors during Act 5 Mythic Quest
Sacrificing your romance during the Lich ritual

One thing to note, I never threatened him or acted rude to him but I don't know if that part matters.
