Bugged Kangaxx

    No matter how long I beat on Kangaxx (the first one) he just won't die. I let my character beat on him for 20 minutes while I was drinking coffee and he was listed as 'near death' the entire time.

    I'm doing plenty of damage in the damage window and he's not regenerating as I can beam him from uninjured to near death in about 20 seconds once his protections are all gone.

    Any way around this bug please?

    Thanks.

    He has to be able to see you, so you can't be using Protection from Undead or something similar because he needs to initiate a conversation with you once you beat up his first form.

    It is possible that his dialogue will not trigger if he is constantly taking damage- same as trolls refusing to keel over so they can die. Too much repeated damage messes with scripts. If pausing to allow him to talk doesn't work, all I advise is loading and giving it another go.

    I've tried to wait next to him while he's mostly dead. He doesn't talk. I'm not protected with undead or anything (no need to at level 31...)

    Have you tried again, or just the once?

    Several times including restarting the game.

    Have you tried turning party AI on, as well? As silly as that sounds, apparently that option needs to be turned on for a few rare scripts to work (as when the partymembers choose to leave the party for you having a too low/high reputation) so even if this is completely different, if nothing else works, you might as well try it.

    Demodocus, do you have ToB installed?

    Yes, I have ToB installed.

    No, turning on party AI didn't help.

    :(

    With your cursor over Kangaxx, open up the console and type:

    CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("KangaxxHurt","LOCALS",0)

    This should force him to initiate dialogue again; this time it should be his 'now I'm turning into a demi-lich' dialogue.

    For future reference, this is a bug that's fixed by the Fixpack. It can't help your in-progress situation, though, which is why you need the console.
