I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to posting on the main tips forum, but I am literally at my wits' end with this quest. I'm rank 6 and I *really* want the sword at the end of this questline.
I have identified the two individual that tell you to meet them at midnight in the dungeon, in Antigua and Fort de France. They've both talked to me (I stayed next to them until they sloylw took a look at my character and told themselves they found another idiot), and for both of them I have yet to succeed in generating the actual encounter.
There is no note passed in my log after talking to them.
If I go in the dungeon before midnight, they're not there. They're not there at precisely midnight, 5 to midnight, 10 to midnight, 5 after midnight or after that. I've tried everything from standing still next to the entrance and speeding up the game (5 minutes worth of wait) next to the dungeon entrance(into which I've seen them disappear), I've waited in the bar, drinking, playing with the girls in the brothel, losing money at cards and of course, just taking a lap around the island with my ship to pass the time. In all of these occasions I was unable to meed the guy in the dungeon.
I am so frustrated with this. I need one of the two encounters, badly. The other ones are in spanish and dutch ports, which I cannot easily access (Peter Blood) and I'd just give anything to get my hands on that sword and on this misterious quest which keeps eluding me badly. I play GoF 1.1, and everything else looks very nice, the ships are lovely but my desire for a haudegen(if that was its name) is unfulfilled.
Help! Please!
Am I supposed to get a log entry in my journal? Are they supposed to be at the entrance of the dungeon?(doesn't help that the dungeons themselves are labyrinthic in nature). How am I supposed to know if I messed up somewhere (or if the game messed up on me) so I know when to reload?
