Vratislav Posted December 29, 2024 Report Posted December 29, 2024 I have obtained the item but... Spoiler I got the Lens in the Devastation without killing the boss - I got to the roof, tried to break the item and after some warning it broke and popped to me. Then I jumped down, and just fled to the Crow. But then mr. Tobias does not appreciate the Lens, sending me there like i did not bring it. So is it necessary to return to the Devastation and kill the Crow because the Lens obtaining was probably a bug? Not being happy from it, but whatever, but if it is fair way, I'd probably do it. Or is it another glitch that is known in unstable version, so the way I have obtained the Lens was legit and it is fair to do some command magic to switch Tobias into the phase "great, you got the Lens" ?
Solution LadyWYT Posted December 29, 2024 Solution Report Posted December 29, 2024 Sounds like a glitch to me. Spoiler I smacked the Lens to see if I could remove it without fighting the Mad Crow, but didn't keep punching it after I got the warning message. So it's almost certainly a bug. I will note that you aren't intended to kill the Crow either; you just need to damage it enough to make it fly away and then you should be able to remove the Lens without any problems. As for how to fix this now...I'm not sure that there's a command you can use to fix it. You might be able to retrieve a Lens from creative, and advance the quest. The best option is probably to go back to the tower and replace the Lens(you'll need to do this in creative), and then complete the Crow battle(creative or survival--your choice). Once you've defeated the Crow, you can hopefully pick up the Lens and return to Tobias to advance the story. But now I know what happens if you try to go an alternate route! 1 1

Well, I'll probably try to go back tomorrow. Actually after so many attempts... Spoiler ... to climb that parkour ... ... I got somewhat used to the location already, and April has nice weather and berries, so food is no problem anymore. Also that five stacks of poultices, I had prepared before, demand not to be wasted

Vratislav Posted December 30, 2024 Author Report Posted December 30, 2024 Well, it went still somehow differently, but it went. Spoiler I travelled back to the Devastation (in survival not to cheat much) jumped most of parkour (the lift still did not go up after its arrival despite being activated before) and have returned the Lens to the socket in creative. Then switched to survival. The Crow arrived, I got several hits, fallen down (with glider but did not manage), died, and run back from the base by the nearest trader. Then I fought the Crow again, but it was in the night, so it was impossible to see it and the Crow flew away almost undamaged. Then I have decided to try a nap and realized that it was possible not only to put the bed on the floor, but also to destroy some blocks of the tower. But the lens was still blocked. At this moment I considered the game to be confused from my many unsupposed actions (I have also teleported my elk to the upper floor to have access to his saddlebags, meddled with the lift, and my total time spent in the tower could be like five game days that moment). So I went after the Crow in creative, and found it sitting somewhere at the east border of Devastation. I thought it was stuck, so I removed some blocks around, then gave her one other hit, it was still barely scratched. Then the Crow flew away again. I did not catch it and it did not return to the tower. Have been looking for it for a half of day over whole Devastation, but it was nowhere to be seen. So I returned to the tower, found that the Lens was still blocked. That moment I took it like there is no Crow anymore and also there is probably no way to rescue the game, but I have the last shot. Teleported to the Tobias with the Lens and voila! The dialog accepting the lens was there. So I have tped back to the Devastation, whistled my elk down from the tower and rode to the Tobias standard way. And then things in the fourth location went right, I got the last gift and can travel home. Despite the complications I consider the third location quite fun, but still unpolished when such mess can happen. Spoiler I am not player used to fight bosses and I am not very good in parkour, but the parkour puzzle was good enough to keep me interested for several gaming sessions to find out the path and manage it at least once without tp cheats (if a looking for the path from another creative world is not too big sin ). The idea of "jump of trust" into second timeline was really enjoyable. Yeah, and one cheating I did: I have "acquired" the glider already, because when I came to the tower and realized the glider was very handy, its schematic was lying on my table some 24 thousand blocks away - which is a bit too much just to pop up there . And I was like "why do you mean was the glider schematics in the Archives, you dummy!" 2 1
TeaJay Posted January 19, 2025 Report Posted January 19, 2025 (edited) We had the same issue, the fight just broke. Tried it in creative and survival, the boss flew away, but even after taking the lens Tobias wouldn't acknowledge it. I can't find the boss anymore, and I think there's no way to re-spawn it? e: I was able to re-spawn the boss, although it bugged out (didn't swoop in anymore) and I had to fly after it to damage it enough for the fight to register as "over". If anyone wants to do the same, the command is: Spoiler /entity spawnat erel-corrupted 1 [the coordinates] [radius] (I put 50) Edited January 19, 2025 by TeaJay 2

Hmmmm...the boss is supposed to fly away when you win the fight, and you should have been able to remove the Lens and turn it in to complete the quest. You could try replacing the Lens via creative mode and removing it again to see if that can trigger quest completion, and I'd also test that quest on a fresh world(using creative to get through the steps faster) to make sure everything is working. The only other thing I can think to check is your modlist, if you're using mods. Testing on a fresh world with all mods disabled should tell you whether or not a mod might be the cause of the problems. Otherwise, it sounds like you've encountered a bug that's managed to escape being fixed, so I'd go report it on the Github bug tracker.
