    I have become a Great Druid, but the Spirit of the Grove does not seem to appear to me. I can rest and travel for ages, but nothing happens.

    I think you need to be at least lvl14 to become a great druid?

    You must rest within the grove itself, the cave like place where you met and fought Faldorn to save Trademeet, and another druid for ascension to Great Druid status.

    If this does not fix your problem, it may be a bug. You will need a CLUA code to create the spirit, ask other guys here they can help you with it.

    Yeah, did you sleep in the Druid Grove? That is the first time the spirit approaches you and gives you your first task.

    When you achieve level 14, go to the Grove and challenge the challenge master. Defeat him and you'll become Great Druid. Sleep in the Grove and the spirit will approach you and give you a task.

    For later tasks, a messenger will find you and ask you to return. Sleep in the Grove to get the task.

    I did everything by the book, but nothing... Then i started to experiment. I rested before becoming a Great Druid and then the Spirit of the Grove appeared. Weird, eh? I wonder how that could happen. After i would become a Great Druid she would not appear, but if i wont, she appears.

    :hmm: Looks like it's been too long since I played a druid. I thought I had it right. Well, I think when you accept the Grove as your stronghold (saving Trademeet and defeating Faldorn), the spirit will appear when you rest inside. Sorry for being so confused and for confusing you. :shame:

    [​IMG] Becoming Great Druid is the last task for the Spirit of the Grove :roll:

    So perhaps it disabled earlier quests.

    Yeah, the druid stronghold is a bit disappointing. I can't remember the exact druid title you attain, but I think it goes druid, great druid (leader of the grove) to some other greater grander arch druid or something... Once you get the final title, the stronghold finishes by saying something like "come back later blah blah." But really there's nothing after it.

    But it sounds like you are just starting the stronghold, so I have no idea why that happens. IIRC you have to sleep in the throne area where you first talked to Faldorn - you can't just sleep anywhere in the Grove.

    Great Druid Help Needed - Grove Spirit problem

    I've got the same problem here - the spirit of the grove won't appear. I've got a quick save just after completing the grove challenge, have become head druid and try sleeping in the grove. No spirit appears, even if I sleep inside the grove structure for a week - I'm right by the throne with the challenge master, and have also tried sleeping in the alcove. No dice.

    I've got Tactics installed and the multi-stronghold option from the Tweakpack. I also used the Vhailor's helm to spawn a lead character copy for the fight. He gets left in the challenge area, but disappears after a while. Then still no spirit appearance after resting in the grove.

    A previous save game is 33 days prior and before doing the entire De'Arnise Keep!

    Can I have the CLUA code for the spirit? I can't find this anywhere online so far.

    ---------- Added 3 hours, 10 minutes and 35 seconds later... ----------

    Argghh!!! Now I see my error - becoming Great Druid before completing the quests. So back to the much earlier save game. Drat :mad:

    No. That's still not right. Dan Simpson's guide says that becoming Great Druid precedes the Druid Grove quests. But sleeping in the grove interior after the after the druid challenge still doesnt' spawn the spirit. I've just uninstalled, then reinstalled multiple strongholds. Still if there is a CLUA code out there for the Spirit of the Grove, I'd be grateful.
