Shock Therapy bug?

[boeriemore]

I destroyed the hornet's net, task 1 completed. I then put out his fire, task two completed.
I then meditated till midnight and while he slept I used aard on the pots and pans causing them to make a loud noise but still the druid would not talk and task three was shown not done.
Is this a bug or is it me????

You don't need to meditate, he goes to sleep anytime
Maybe it's that

[ßαΣπ·VS]

yeah, he tends to go to sleep when ever. just have to wait for him to do so.

I conformed what I saw on a video. He meditated until midnight and when the druid was asleep
he rattled the pots. But this did not happen for me.
He sleeps, no problem, but when the pots wake him up he still won't talk.

Ok. I overcame this glitch. Went back there, he was sleeping, I went to the pots and pans but could not interact with them as I had previously already done.. He then woke up and lit the fire and I put it out, exactly what I had previously done. This time he spoke, quest completed.

Useless post as usual.

I meditated till midnight. He was asleep. The pots were red in sense mode but I couldn't interact with them in any way in either mode. Couldn't aard or hit or crossbow them either.

Now i've meditated to the same time and every single other hour and he won't sleep again.

Another failure by Projekt

You need to use the Aard Sign to rattle the pots and push the bee hive. I couldn't figure it out and found this forum and I'm surprised no one mentioned using the Aard Sign. Maybe someone like me will find this same post and hopefully I help them out, USE THE AARD SIGN :)

It's just buggy. It eventually sorted itself out somehow. Can't remember. 200 hours of gameplay it's hard to remember all the details despite having an incredibly high iq probably higher than anyone else who ever played the game.

I will say this though. Every time I get some reply on some forum on any site from a legacy post of mine regarding W3, it ignites my nostalgia so much I feel like just starting over and playing it again.

But I have Blood and Wine to play now :)

Off to solve some math and physics problems and then install it.

This small quest is apparently a tip of the hat to Monty Python's Life of Brian scene with the silent hermit in the desert. Base line here: Piss off the guy by 1) scaring him with the pots, 2) chasing him with the wasps and 3) putting the fire out when he's trying to warm up.

It appears that standing close to the area he's sitting/sleeping in is counterproductive. Instead, between the steps stand some distance away to observe what he's currently doing.

Standing in front of the fire: Extinguish it
Sitting for prayer: Give him some Wasps
Trying to sleep: Pots to the rescue!

That'll piss off anyone.

Congrats, friend, you were featured on the wonderful Reddit board, r/iamverysmart. How do you feel about this? Also, how goes your road to Nirvana via a heightened sense of superiority?

/r/iamverysmart is exactly what I was parodying. And you fell for it. That's funny. Can you link me the post?

Whatever you posted it under.. it didn't make the front page :(

I've fabricated posts that made it on the top page in /r/iamverysmart before.

I guess my vastly superior intelligence enabled that.

After all, I do watch Rick and Morty.

I had the same issue.

I tried a number of things like applying the shocks in a different order, etc. but always weren't able to use the Aard signs on the pots. I think what made me succeed eventually is to use a specific angle on the pots. Perhaps they needed to be aligned with the druid to become "attackable".

So apparently you are supposed to scare him if he is doing certain things. You do not necessarily need to wait for him to fall asleep. If he is warming himself by the fire, you are supposed to walk up to his fire & extinguish it. If he is sleeping, then use Aard on the pots & pans. If he is sitting on a rock, use Aard on the bees nest next to him. You may not have to do all 3 of these. Example: Woke him up while he was sleeping, used Aard on bees nest since he sat on rock, then he went to sleep again so woke him up again & got my 3/3 scares done.

In my game, I spoke to him around 2:30am. I just stood like 10 ft. from him & waited because I thought I HAD to wait for him to fall asleep. Within 5 minutes after talking to him, he went to sleep.

Note that you don't receive an interact option with the pots & pans nor can you punch or hit them with your sword; you must use Aard on them.

Someone mentioned that they could not get the pots to work with Aard & felt they needed to hit them at a certain angle. I was able to hit mine in one shot by facing them to where the lower rack of pots is closest to me & the higher rack of pots are in the back behind the lower level.
