Nalia's Funeral Quest Wont Start? Can Anyone Help?

[LegendKiller]

So I never used Nalia in my party, I sent her ahead and never let her join before taking the keep. She offered me De'Arnise, and I only did 1 or 2 of those quests before heading to the Underdark. Now I have cleared the Underdark, pretty much all NPC quests, Firkraag, and am nearing the end of SOA for my first time. I haven't finished De'Arnise yet though, so I recruited Nalia into my party, and no matter how long I wait or travel, her funeral quest will not start. I did take her to De'Arnise and I can use the talk command to initiate her dialogue from inside De'Arnise, she even remarks about her dead father, but then that only reopens "TorGal is dead, head outside" portion of quest journal, and after going outside nothing happens, and I even rested a week and went to Athkatla and still nothing. I am a completionist so this is hard to swallow, but there is no way I am going 50 some hours back just to finish an NPC quest on a char I never use, so I was really hoping someone could let me know if there is any way around this without potentially breaking my game? I don't use CLUA console or anything like that. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks yall.

In some guides,for example http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG2/Walkthrough2/SoA/chapter-2/quests/npc-nalia-is-abducted.php , the quest is triggered one week after the funeral. I f you don't have nalia in this time, i think you miss this quest.

Thanks for the info IKosaedro, and awesome Julius. Thank you as well, I truly appreciate it. This is my first time posting a file for this, so I hope you mean any save. Just in case I zipped three different saves into the folder, one as far back as spellhold, and two from my current chapter (6) in which I found the bug. I also have all my older saves from before spellhold as well, but there is just no way I feel comfortable going that far back, I already started from scratch once before after finding out I missed things like the ring of acuity/reaching ring; etc, and to reload that far back would be about a months play time, so I really hope something can be done without me having to use an editor that could exacerbate my problems.

Just posted the files on the support site. Bug #40010

Yeah, so It turns out that all the other NPC quests are broken with the characters I did not recruit before going to spellhold as well. For example, Mazzy, and Aerie along with Nalia. I did their initial quests with the party I wanted to complete the game with and figured that I could recruit them after getting back from spellhold, and thus the timers on their personal quests would be fresh. Looks like that was a very bad idea.

None of your saves have Nalia in party. It is probable that the messenger appeared when she was not in the party, and if that is the case they are scripted to leave without speaking. This would leave the game in your current situation. As a workaround you could recruit her again and either use the console command below or attach another save and we will do this for you.

To get Nalia's personal quest, in De'Arnise Hold do not open the final door (to TorGal) until you have Nalia in the party. Must have her in the party during the Torgal confrontation to get her personal quest. (Nalia should confront TorGal for a nice piece of dialog! Put her temporarily as the party leader and approach TorGal first; she might have to click on TorGal while he is "cyan"/neutral).

After finalizing the De'Arnise quest, to eventually get Nalia's funeral quest send her to the Copper Coronet or park her in the Slums or somewhere convenient for seven days, and then re-join to get part one of her quest (a messenger will appear).

Part 2: Nalia's Quest parts continues in 24 hours (OK to wait much longer than that).


To get Mazzy's 2nd personal quest in Trademeet:

- Rescue her from her jail cell, let her join the party (swap her for one of your existing party members)
- Destroy the Shadow Altar portal with her in the party
- Finish all Trademeet quests (without Mazzy is ok): the feuding families/Alibakkar; and the skin dancer/Jenia
- Adventure with Mazzy in the party continuously for 15 days (game time; tested in BG2 only)
- Return to Trademeet to be greeted by Danno; do the quest (worth about 47k xp in total)

Note: as mentioned, you must destroy the Shadow Altar and finalize the quest (Minister Lloyd) with Mazzy in the party (still) in order to get her 2nd quest. Otherwise you can only get Mazzy's 1st quest, in the Slums.

Note: I don't that quest (Shade Lord) until Chapter 5.
