Tomb Raiders Quest

[bootsy81]

I'm trying to get a sacrifice for the Godi during the Tomb Raiders quest and I've heard tell that you're able to use the body of the scoundrel from the Scoundrel's Flight quest as a sacrifice.

According to a youtube video walkthrough of the quest I've seen the game should trigger a conversation wherein your companions suggest using the bodies as a sacrifice and if you agree you receive his body in your inventory.

However when I kill him and his girlfriend the relevant conversation doesn't trigger and I have no option to use him as a sacrifice. I've tried taking them out non-fataly, loading the area and trying again, but nothing seems to work.

Is this a bug or has the option to do this been removed from the game? If so, how do you acquire a sacrifice without, y'know, sacrificing someone you like.

You can kill the Mayors son and sacrafice him which is a hillarious option considering how easy it was for Mayor to suggest you sacrafice someone xD

You can sacrafice 3 of your thralls if you have any, if you dont you can buy some in Ribe from SLave Trader.

Also I am not sure about it but maybe you if you have finished hire the hird quest, you might be able to make some hirdemn you dont like, (best ppl you don tlike in real life xD) and then bring them with you to that village see if you can sacrafice them xD And then totaly for free you can makemore hirdmen you like for yourslef to sail with xD

I dont know what other options there are, I just tricked the child to let me inside the tomb and then robbed it.

actually curious; Where is the Mayors' son?

You just have to turn out the godi for his son to come for you. The simplest path is just to ignore him, the guy is a fraud. Once you are done with the tomb he will wait for you trying to rob you with villagers. It's as easy fight, loot is alway welcome.

Thanks guys, I guess the poor son is going to get murdered, although it's not really the way I wanted to go about it. Maybe the bandit in blue clothes from the farmers idol quest can be used? Maybe I'll just trick him to let me in then screw him out of the reward. That wasn't really how I wanted to go about it either though. Hate it when games force you down a route you don't really want to go down.

What is bugging me though is why the scoundrel guy can't be used. I'm guessing there's some condition I've not met to allow me to do it but for the life of me I can't think what it would be. I've followed every step of the quest up to this point but it just doesn't seem to work. If anyone has any suggestions as to why it's not triggering I'd appreciate it. I'm starting to wonder if that option was patched out for some reason, can't see it in the patch notes though :/

to use the deserter, you have to

1. tell the gothi you are ready and let him wait by the sacrificial site.
2. kill (you cant use use non-lethal. he has to die) the deserter guy.

then the conversation will trigger.

You can't talk to the kid unless you have the Eydis with you, so if you want to sacrifice the brat you need to bring her along with you.

It's a tourist trap.

I went non lethal. Attacked the guards in front of the crypt and then took out the whole town once it had gone hostile - then looted them. I fought the 'underground' men then came out with my loot and beat the town down again - non lethal- when they confronted me for a second time. Why?

Spoilers coming if you don't want them don't read on.

They're liars. There's no hero buried there. It's a backwater, do nothing, go nowhere burg. They tell pilgrims there's a hero there to lure them to their doom and collect their money/valuables. Eydis tells you the godi had a weird manner about him when she and her husband had passed through the town many years before. He still does when your hird visits.

All the bodies laying about aren't where they should be for a sacrificial bog. They're scattered about the surroundings, not buried or burned or covered up. Some still have the weapons sticking out of them. The whole town is sinister -if you choose to sacrifice the colour text give it away that sacrifices there are quite the regular thing. It's the town's biggest business and they're all in on it.

The bandits might be a late addition. But there are more bodies in town than account for their activites.

The 'guards' at the tomb are kitted out much better and if you examine them in detail you see they are playing at being soldiers. Most if not all of the armour and weapons they're wearing have probably been looted from their unsuspecting victims.

What truly sealed it for me. When you go into the tomb to loot it there is no buried hero. The loot on the table is a jumble of trinkets- the sort of small time personal effects one might amass from a lifetime or more of mugging travellers. Worth a tidy sum in aggregate but individually not the sort of wealth you'd expect from a hero's burial. The bodies that do have weapons or loot on them are slumped against the walls- probably just as they'd fallen after having been duped/lured into the tomb before the stone was shut behind them and they were left to starve or go mad.

Couple that with there being no negative impact for beating them down and it's rather telling.

Yeah, that's what I've done but it's not triggering. I've watched a YouTube video (linked below) of the whole quest and followed it step by step, which turned out to be the way I was doing the quest anyway, and it's just not triggering. I'm wondering if something has conflicted with other quests I've got on the go at the moment or something or if it's just bugged out. I guess I'll just sneak in or fight the town or kill the kid. Not ideal but there it is. Cheers anyway, maybe it'll work on another play through.

Could someone explain like, actually how you would go about sacrificing either a hirdman or the Godi's son? Because I haven't seen any such opportunities pop up for me anywhere.
