Name: Bad Blood
Level: 33
Objective: Defeat the tomb raiders.

I broke this story quest last night. I came across Steag Frostbeard and Havram Girthbinder standing in a secluded area. From a distance, I began shooting Havram with my rifle. He didn’t react at all, but took damage, which was strange. To see if I could, I stood there and shot him until he died, and he never reacted to being shot. I started doing the same with Steag, wanting to see if I could do it again. Same thing happened, but I didn’t kill him from far away. I ran down into the room he was in and began to attack him up close, but he didn’t retaliate, he only stood there until he died.

It didn’t really dawn on me that these weren’t run of the mill enemies until the cut scene with Magister Sieran began.
“Character Name: Did you see what happened when the blade cut his friend? it turned that norn into a monster.
Magister Sieran: I saw! That looked like dragon corruption to me. I guess the Sanguinary Blade really is made of dragon’s blood. Gixx was right.”

So I killed them before the event could take place. I don’t know if they were supposed to be invulnerable before the transformation; if so, it didn’t take effect.

I really don’t think this is actually due to the quest itself, but whatever it is, it’s capable of busting it. I was using a rifle at the time, I’m going to try to repeat it to see if it happens in other places.

I wasn’t able to repeat the bug on my sylvari, but I pulled it off on my human Elementalist alt with the skill Chain Lightning. I hit a Bandit Scout who didn’t react to it and wound up dying, at the river outside of Shaemoor

I’m stuck on this as well, but slightly different. I fought and killed one guy after the transformation from being cut with the dragon blade. Then there was a cut scene with the sylvari lady. I was supposed to choose either to search out the original scabard for the dragon sword or use priory knowlege to find a new way to protect us from the effects of the sword upon its recovery. BUT, here’s the thing…. when I try to interact with the sylvari lady, she just says hello or something like it… I’m supposed to tell her my decision, but she does not allow me to… won’t let me interact other than like with a non quest NPC that just says hello, hi, good day to you….

What should I do. I really want to continue this quest line.

Thanks

ok, to resolve my own issue here…
what worked for me in my case was to run back toward the begining of the cave… get hurt in the spikes and have her come to help revive me. Then she was responsive to my interacting suddenly. Quest may need some tweaking. I’m loving this game, though!!!

There’s a stickied thread at the top of Game Bugs Forum where all personal story issues are merged for the Dev responsible. If you are still experiencing issues, it may be a good idea to post there as well.
