Duke's body double won't talk to me

[Guanie]

Hi all. Basically I'm on the mission where you have to deal with Duke. I'm going for a non-lethal/never spotted run. My problem is since dealing with the 2 guards and dog that follow the Duke's double, I don't get the option to talk with him. He will be in his crouching spooked position, so I'll leave for awhile and come back so that he's back to regular position, however I never get the option to talk to him again.

Has this happened to anyone else and is there a way to fix it, short of starting the whole mission again?

Cheers

there is no fix, once the body double notices you do anything, he'll never trust you.

very late edit: I've heard that it's possible to calm the body double down by hiding all the bodies. Worth trying?

[Guanie]

Ah, that sucks. I did manage to speak with him with only taking out the dog, but halfway into the conversation, the 2 guards saw me and interrupted. Thanks for replying. Guess I'll just suck it up and restart. Going to deal with him before any other objectives first.

[Guanie]

OK, nevermind. Apparently I can't restart level. Are Arkane serious? What game in 2016 doesn't allow you to restart level? Or am I missing something? What possible logical reasoning is this lol.

[Aesill]

it's coming in a future patch =) if you still have a save before the body double was alerted, it is possible to lure the guards away. Maybe try a well aimed bottle?

[Guanie]

I don't unfortunately. Last save I have before that is Clockwork Tower. I never had a reason before to restart level so I didn't think it wasn't there, otherwise I would have hard saved at the start of each level.

I think I will try going back to the first area of the mission and see if that fixes the Duke's body double. If not, I will probably wait until the patch is out before I continue. It's a shame, I was really enjoying playing this on my holiday.

Half of the game that should have been delivered to us in the beginning is "coming with the next patch". What a POS.

Eh, it's to be expected with games these days, however I never thought I'd see it with such a basic feature. What's next, they start releasing games without a main menu and patch that in later too?

I spent about 20mins trying to figure this out and even with googling and watching Youtube I couldn't solve it. Right when I was about to give up I figured it out. I carried all the bodies out, blew up the rewired laser thingy with the whale tank on the opposite side of the wall so it wouldn't kill or zap him. Finally, the key thing I did was close all the doors. This alone was what made him stand up and talk. I hope this helps someone.

Thanks Mike. I think I disabled the laser thing by taking the whale tank out of the power. Not sure if there are doors open around him for me to close (because he's outside on that platform that looks like a ship). If I move far enough away, he'll stand up again but when I get right up behind him, I never have the option to talk.

Might load it up again and see if some things you mentioned might help. Otherwise, still waiting for that update.

I had the same problem. For some reason once I used a rewire tool on the alarm bell in the room he stood up and would talk to me.

[Gothar SVK]

Maybe it is late, but I confirm, that after removing all dead bodies from the room, he started to walk normally and I could talk to him.

Thanks for the reply. I tried this also. There was only the dog and the guard who's bodies were near and I moved them miles away and I could still never talk to him.

I was able to do this by using the darts that make people run. He was outside. I used the link ability to connect the two guards, removed the whale oil to disable the shock trap, then dropped down at the far end and hit the dog and then guard with the darts.

He didn't seem to care that they ran.

However, at the very end of the dialogue, the guards came back and attacked me. So I reloaded and skipped the cutscenes after calling him the double.

This was super difficult. I tried doppleganger , sleep darts, glass distraction and none worked.

Thanks for the input mate. Well it's been a long enough time, I think I'll reinstall the game and try your method out. Problem is, I don't think I have a save before taking the guards out but maybe I can reset the double by shooting him with various darts/abilities.
