I can't complete quest: Zhurlong's Missing Boots - a bug, or no?

[Turbo Nozomix]

I might be encountering a bug, but I'm not sure.

Here's the quest details:

http://baldursgate.wikia.com/wiki/Zhurlong%27s_Missing_Boots
http://baldursgate.wikia.com/wiki/Boots_of_Stealth

I've cleared out the area where his boots are found, and I have his boots, as shown in this screenshot of my game:

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2436887475161834307/D6F81E98EC863DA3D6E96A6D2DA69B041E2869C0/


I've gone into the inn to talk with him and return the boots, but but each time I talk to him to try to complete the quest, he says his usual line and then steal another 30 gold from me. He doesn't take the boots and the quest doesn't complete.

I've tried talking to him both with the boots in another party member's inventory, and with the boots in the inventory of the party member that talks to him.

I did a lot of exploring of the wilderness after I found his boots, so I don't know if I just took too long to return them, and now the quest is broken.


Any suggestions?

Use Keeper and adjust the gamestate for that quest.

Well... it is not really solving the issue you have, but why not keep the boots? It is useful item... I have never returned the boots to him (it is hard to passionate with someone who robbed you)

Did they say Zhurlong's Boots initially, and then you identified them to see that they are the Worn Whisperers? Because initially when you find them they should say Zhurlong's Boots. Otherwise, maybe you didn't find the right ones?

Anyhow, I'm playing the Beta and I just completed this quest without issue. I saved game so I tried completing the quest with and without identifying the boots. Either way it did not matter. Quest completed both times.

Yeah, I identified them with a spell from my party's mage.

I've been back to the site where I got them, and all the hobgolblin's are dealt with and don't respawn.


According to the wiki, there are only 2 locations in the game that these boots appear - and I haven't yet been to the 2nd location.

I don't think I have ever actually tried to return them...same thing with the Elves Bane belt.

Do you use any mods?
Did you try to opt in the 2.5 beta?

I'm not using any mods, and I'm not in the beta. The game is up to date, though.

Please, upload your save at support.baldursgate.com so that the QA could take a look.

OK, I've added the issue and my save game:

It looks like the issue was caused by the fact you continued an old save in the current version (and there was a small fix for this quest in one of the patches). The ticket now contains a new save where the issue is solved for you.

Yup. I saw that and downloaded it. It works fine. Thanks!


Are there any other quests that I'm likely to find an issue with, as I continue playing my game from an older save?

[Julius Borisov]

Not sure. Feel free to upload saving files on the bug tracket if you encounter another issue, though.
