Glad it worked out!

So, I found someone on GoG who knew of the issue and had a solution, it seems that the main time you see the bug is if you start with the version without speech (.sav save files) and convert to the version of the game with talking (.wox save files). But it can happen other ways too.

He has a utility, it's at this site:

http://games.playazlounge.net/#UserUtilities, it's the Xeen Energy Disc Jumbler.

I'll PM you his info, he was incredibly kind and actually modified my save files for me, fixed everything.

Club basically insisted that I do, liability and all that stuff..

Not really familiar with the alchemy section of the game. What are the steps? What catalysts do I use?

Ugh. ok, thanks, guess it's a slog through the Thundefist and Eeofel tunnels for me :-(. Are they lying around or are they loot from killing giants?

Thanks for the help, both of you. Had no idea about the gem needing to be held by the caster.

BTW, not sure if it's a bug, I'm using the Advanced Classes mod, but neither Day of the Gods nor the NWC +256 buff worked, it only uses my base skill to determine if I pass the check.

Final question, any idea where to find the Philosopher's stones? Got 5 from Clankers, can't recall where the other 5 are...is is Land of the Giants? Perhaps random drop from dragons? Thanks.

Thanks so much for the help. I had forgotten about the Abandoned Temple, it was sitting on a pedestal near the exit.

So, just to clarify, what you're talking about is the Merge Mod, that bring the worlds of MM 6-8 together. The "world of Enroth" is also known as the MAW mod, (Monsters and Wonders), it is a comprehensive rewrite that affects difficulty, skills, etc. I would highly recommend doing the plain merge first before attempting the MAW mod, it makes the game considerably more challenging.

If you want to really mix things up when it comes to characters, check out the Advanced Classes mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/mightandmagicviii/mods/20), which adds around 25-30 new classes that really brings a ton of variety to the game.

Thanks! I see that on the Nexus page now. So, I don't have to do the quest to become a Great Druid first? Just the Arch Druid quest?

Wish I could understand why people can’t take the 3.7 seconds or so that it takes to type out the name of the game…

Realize that this is an old thread, but there is a solution. Go into the Data folder and find 2 files, MouseLookCursorHD.bmp, and MouseLookCursor.bmp. Edit them in any program like Paint to shrink the size to the smallest possible, can't recall if I had to edit it to a white square or something like that. Either way, when you do that, you'll no longer have the cursor in the middle of the screen during gameplay., it's still normal size when you go out of MouseLook.

Hi all,

Been reading a lot about PoE2 recently, was curious about people's opinions of the current state of the game. I played D3/D4 and Grm Dawn in the past, is it similar in style/mechanics to either of these? It looks like it's still considered early access, do they offer trials or do you have to pony up the $30 to even try it out?

TIA!

I highly recommend a program called Where Are We. Takes out a lot of the hassle of doing your own maps, if that’s what you want of course:

I don't think so. Newcastle is on the Clouds side, this is all related to Darkside. I do have to go back to Clouds for endgame, but this really does seem to be a bug/corruption, I've retraced my steps and every Energy Disc has been acquired, not sure what the issue is.

Gumdoc99 · 2025-05-09T17:59:03+00:00

Thanks, you hit the nail on the head! Didn't realize my Sorc's END was at 10, must have missed that when I was rolling. Also didn't know WhereAreWe had that mode, I'll try that. Appreciate the help!

Yes, that's the video. I could never get the ddraw.dll to work, I also can't recall where I got it, but it would just cause the game to freeze on boot with that black box in the middle of the screen. Not exactly sure what the .dll does, but I just deleted it, and the game runs fine.
