Mission 7: SLACKJAW ALREADY DEAD?!?!

[Master Of Creatoring]

Ok, so just to let people know, this has happened to me both times I've played through Dishonored.

I'm playing Mission 7: The Flooded District right? And theres the part in the sewers where you have to either help Granny Rags or Slackjaw. But for some reason, whenever I come to that part Slackjaw is already freaking dead! So I cant get the quest from him to destroy Granny Rags. Am I the only one this has happened to, or have other people experianced this infuriating problem as well?

Are you sure you didn't fight Slackjaw or any of his thugs or be spotted by them / robbing them During Cambell or House of pleasure missions ?

I only ask that as when I've played low chaos and was sneaking everwhere He was always friendly and he was there with him and Granny in the sewers!.......

Just recently played high chaos and going to clear out the belongings from Slackjaw his thugs targetted me including Slackjaw So I've killed him there in the House of pleasure mission.

How any of this relates to your question I don't know where you playing High or low chaos?

[Master Of Creatoring]

I was playing Low Chaos. And when I did House of Pleasure, I just knocked out his thugs in the art dealer's house, and then went back to him to give him the combination, but he didn't attack me or anything :P I've had other problems with the game as well, like after I finish House of Pleasure and go through the back exit after Emily, right after the loading screen this window comes up and tells me that "The Loyalist Rebellion Has Failed" or something like that and I have to shut off the game and then start it up again to proceed any further in the game. That also happened to me both times, but I know other people have had that problem, unlike the one with Slackjaw that I'm having.

[Eternie]

"The Loyalist Rebellion Has Failed" never heard of that. That would suggest that a main character has been killed....... Something I've thought of doing myself...... taking out Havelock early before he betrays you!!

How did you deal with Curtis and Morgan? Because if they arn't killed ( high chaos ) or unless you interogate the art dealer to get Safe Combination for Slackjaw ( Low chaos ) then you haven't dealt with the Brothers .... thus failed loyalist quest!!!

Does that help???

Off topic, but.. You spoiled this for me now . Oh well, I already suspected either Havelock or Pendleton to be traitor, haha.

[Eternie]

Dammmmmm I knew I shoulda used those spoiler tags...... :) So I corrected my mistake Can you forget what ever it was that I said? Oh... It stays in your post, So now it's you spoiling it for others?!! :) Thanks for pointing that out, appreciate it!
Hope my advice helped the OP?!!

@Eternie

Well what is ACTUALLY says is that "The Loyalist Conspiracy Has Been Dissolved!" which usually happens when you accidentally (or purposely for some reason) kill one of your allies. But the thing is that NOTHING like that happened, and the notice only ever comes up after I exit the golden cat. I've also looked up the problem before and it appears a lot of people have had problems with it too, so I assume its just a unfixable glitch that I have to deal with. But my first question still stands: WHY THE HECK IS SLACKJAW DEAD????

[Flopolopogus]

Emily is probably killed some how on her way to the boat-- Which shouldn't happen but i can see some weepers killing her as they are right outside the area you exit form

[Master Of Creatoring]

I killed those weepers beforehand.

[Eternie]

It couldn't be Emily as her departure through the area is scripted and you couldn't have anything to do with it!
I still think it comes back to the artdealer if you interogate him and haven't robbed the safe before seeing the art dealer then just take the combination back to Slackjaw without visiting Artdealer's house so forgo the runes and money there. Use that as a test! It's worth a try to get past stopping the game! Good Luck

[Master Of Creatoring]

Thanks for the suggestions :)
