Stuck in Telos Academy 2nd visit

[kaborka 10]

I sure could use some advice on this. I played from an earlier saved game, replayed from the Sky Ramp and the Onderon Palace. When Kreia and HM returned to Telos, the result was the same. HM kills the Sisters, but Atris does not appear.

Is there any way to trigger the next step by setting a global or something? Is there a console code that could force it? Can I just skip this step and move on to Citadel?

My guess: you're using an incompatible save...

I too had this same issue, but it was after stunning the other Handmaidens. What brought me out of the fight with the Handmaidens, and started the fight with Atris was running around the Academy hysterically trying to figure out what to do then succumbing to my base anger and attacking a handmaiden that was already stunned. Once I unleashed my horror, they went back to being stunned and Atris walked out. Cue fight with her, Exile shows up, etc.

Weird! Do you have to avoid killing any sisters in order for the game to progress? I found it very difficult to stun them. Even with just a few % health they kept fighting. Only once did one stay stunned.  What's the trick?  I switched HM from lightsaber to her staff to try to avoid killing, but still some of them die.

 

Thanks for replying -- I'd just about given up.

Nope, that would be stupid.

It sounds like a mod conflict to me.

My guess it is Handmaiden appearance (stoffe). I restored the files from the backup folder the patcher created and replayed from the end of Onderon Palace. This time it jumped from the Kreia-Atris scene directly to the HM-Atris fight. When the Exile arrived and beat Atris, nothing happened afterwards.  Atris was in her chamber, unresponsive, HM lay dead in the council room, and the ship was locked. I guess I'll have to warp.

I'd encountered this issue myself earlier today, and the problem was indeed Stoffe's Handmaiden Appearance 1.1 mod -- I fixed it by manually removing all of the files in my override created by the tslpatcher (referring to the backup folder) except the appearance.2da file. (So all .utc, .uti, .ncs, .nss files were pulled out of the override folder)

I reloaded a save right after the Dantooine council conclusion, but before leaving the rebuilt enclave and triggering the load to the Telos academy.

The fight worked as intended (including the stun/kill mechanic) and I was able to progress. 

(For what it might be worth, I was also running the Extended Enclave mod and installed it after the Handmaiden Appearance pack)

[kaborka 10]

That worked! I restored the files from the backup folder except appearance.2da.  That alone did not work, but when I removed all the other files listed in the install log, the script progressed! (I had a save from before the departure from the enclave.) I knew something was different when HM got a DSP for killing a sister.

 

Thanks very much for posting this -- now on with the game, finally!
