Kayran: Can someone please kill the kayran for me? :(

[dragonbird]

LOL, that thread is awesome. I mean, really guys? You could just watch a youtube video of the fight instead, following what the player is doing there, for yourself. Even a very mediocre player without much skill should be able to kill the Kayran with the proper strategy and preparation in reasonable time...

But I guess @Tommy must really like the Kayran fight given the fact how often he did it just for other people in this thread...

The problem isn't usually the player, but their PC. The QTE at the end just doesn't work correctly on some PC's, sometimes because it's close to minimum spec, sometimes because of certain drivers (some high-end keyboards). So no, nothing to do with player skill. They're playing exactly as shown in those videos, and it still doesn't work.

Hm, ok. But if that's a known issue shouldn't that be already fixed? Many other games use QTE sections as well and there are no problems with them at all. Doesn't seem to be like a really complex matter. Just saying...

 

[dragonbird]

Not going to argue too much with that
But maybe it DID turn out to be too complicated to fix, especially if the problem was sub-minimum specs. And they dropped it for TW3.

I completed the fight by playing in low(320x200) resolution which makes the QTE work but then it crashed at saving

Knowing my problems with such quests with limited time for QTE, I wont even try to do it myself.
Hopefully someone can do this quest for me.

I saved just before going into the lair, and haven't drunk any potions, so you may choose, what setup is the best.

PS: I had asked someone to do this quest for me before (on this forum, a few months back) couple of times, and I had lost some of my equipment (like the blue stripes combat jacket, as I got EE version). I don't know if it's a bug or what it is, but hopefully this time it will be alright.

Here you are . https://www.dropbox.com/s/rrn4db2355i8xb1/ManualSave_0594.sav?dl=0 . Kayran has already been looted . Don`t forget to level up and collect the reward .

 

[SylvanWolf]

Thanks!
Nice to have that equipment left after this quest, too.

Well, wont make any new threads, so I will post this here.
It's that last quest of Chapter 1. Would like to save those elven women and get that key from one of them. Again, I have Enchanted Edition, so I guess it takes another with the same to not lose any of my equipment.

[SylvanWolf]

Thank you.
By the way, I've tried to disable QTEs, but then I didn't see any option to save them at all. Was it normal? I mean, if it is, then why to add such option that wont allow you to pass the game at all?

 

[tommy5761]

The game automatically saves the changes once they are made . For the QTE`s click the launcher and when you get to the new/load game screen click options>gameplay and uncheck difficult QTE`s . It doesn`t stop the QTE`s from appearing it just disables the multi function QTE`s to a mouse click instead of left mouse click hit spacebar at prompt and possibly followed by right click of the mouse .

 

[SylvanWolf]

Thank you. It must have been just a bug, then.

need help with this also

Hi guys,
I too would appreciate if somebody could help me get past the Kayran. I am trying to play this on my MacBook Pro and don't get beyond removing the first tentacle. I have deposited my saved game here:

Many thanks in advance.

Hi all.

I am a novice gamer and am struggling to kill the Kayran on the PC version of the game. I've tried all the recommended advice but just can't get there. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Here's my game save:

Many thanks in advance. I should have added that I'm a one-handed gamer (partial paralysis of left side). That's the reason I'm having so much trouble.

 

[Fingolfing]

Also a rookie (and not very dexterous) stuck on the Kayran kill. Could someone fnish him off for me and return a post-kill save file? I have both the trap and the Mongoose potion.

Here is my save file at the broken bridge: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33325984/ManualSave_0066.sav

Thanks in advance for helping me continue to play this great game.

Thanks for your help.

Could someone also fight the kayran for me? The game is not registering all of my mouse clicks so doing the part where you ride the tentacle is impossible for me. Here is the save, it starts right at the beginning of the kayran battle: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4488x1wirqrezu0/AutoSave_0112.sav?dl=0
I have drunk the ostmurk potion, swallow, and rook. I also have the kayran trap and it's on easy.

 

[Fingolfing]

Tommy - Can you give me a hand with the Kayran? Have Trape and Mongoose but still not quick enough to defeat. Here's my pre-potion, pre sign save:

Yes. But have restarted game with different quest/decision forks and would like to continue on my new track.
