Vatras letter for Saturas and Lares ornament

[PeTak]

Hello! So, I have beat this game at leat 10 times in the last decade or more and I have never encountered this problem. Vatras gave me the letter for Saturas and told me to go with Lares if he did not bring his ornament to Saturas yet. Option to go with Lares does not exist, even tho it did a bit earlier in the game, but I decided to not go right away and now it simply does not exist. I tried going alone to bring the letter myself to Saturas and there is no option to give it to him. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe I forgot something after all these years. Also, I cant talk to any of the water mages about teleporter stones, nor tell Greg that there is a way to get to the other part of the island trough the portal. I remember all of that being possible and now I simply cant progress. So, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

You just triggered the one big bug in G2 NotR. Google "gothic 2 lares bug" and you'll find hundreds of messages about it, including posts on this forum. In the old days, there was no fix for it except starting a new game. Not even the console could somehow fix it. Maybe over the years, someone did find a fix for it, but if you don't find one fast I'd just start a new game.

When NotR got released, this game breaking bug was all over the forums and such, and I have always remembered to only talk to Lares and ask him to escort you when you're ready to go to the water mages. People used to advice against even asking him to take you to the tavern, for example, and the real careful people used to advice against talking to Lares at all before you're ready to go to the water mages.

Good luck!

Thanks for replaying friend. Yeah, I have googled it and a lot of threads showed lol. I think i fixed it now. I inserted the Vatras ornament trough the console and the quests are now showing. The only thing is that Lares wont help me go trough the woods. But I can deal without him. I hope thats that and that i can progress normally from now on.
