Hello, in this side quest i have to go to greenford prison to talk to the "teacher", but when i go there he isnt there. The head of the prison is also gone..What do i have to do??
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> In main quest i need to go to the light house so i can attack greenford..(excuse for my english, im dutch)
 
another thing is, when i entered the greenford prison the battle mode is on. when i approach the "teacher", he refused to speak
 
well, firstly, am i speaking to the same person here? if so, ask one of the admins to delete your second account, to avoid confusion with other members.

secondly, if you've killed the head guard [or warden, or whatever his name is], then go to the tavern and talk to the bar keeper. tell him, and he'll tell you to go straight inside the prison, and talk to the "teacher". do so, and you should be ok. if not, see if there are any guards around. if so, kill them, then go to the "teacher" and talk to him...
HTH [Hope This Helps]
 
nelson, your talking to 2 persons. I have tried to talk to the tavern man, but there isnt a options(only room,crew,and work) All the cells in the prison are empty... there is only one man and you cant have a conversation with him... I have the papers from father bernard
 
i wish i had the game to try and get where you have reached exactly. i haven't played PotC for over 5 months. i'm ordering it from amazon now, but until then, i'm afraid i cant help. anyone else gonna help hammie? Pieter? Thomas? somebody!?
 
i did this particular quest on beta6 and still, battle mode is on. to be able to talk with the "teacher", i have to stand on side of his cell (not in front) to hid a bit and it worked. i was able to talk with him & the quest continues.
 
Hello,
sorry for my reply to an very old topic. But I've same problem like nicev1869.

I'm playing now 2 years in game, have very controvers relations (all Nations > +120, Pirates -119). Now i'm doing some quests because of the fun. At the moment i have to talk to the red robe wearing teacher in the greenfort prison.

My Problem, then i enter the prison someone want to kill me (battle mode). Then I'm close to the teacher he's afraid of me, so i can't talk to him. The solution, which nicev1869 explain, works on pirate island (same problems there) but not in this prison because there's no point from where i could speak to him, not even with flying through the walls. That's very sad.

Is there maybe a bug or a chance to go over to the next step of this quest without speaking to him. Or how do i get the battle mode inactive? Someone an idea/solution?

Thanks
 
Who wanted to kill you? Have you got any idea why? Do you have a savegame prior to this point?
 
did you kill some people in another part of town? you could try killing the guards first, after the dialogue with the head of the prison. for some reason, one of the guards wants to attack you but actually doesn't attack.
 
Have you tried exiting the prison and re-entering yet? You might even go as far as going back to sea, then return.
 
could work. if it's the fault of attacking someone else in the town, it probably would.
 
Hello and YoHo!
Thanks for your answers. Hm, i don't know. As i said, i play this savegame for long time (> 2 years Ingame). I think, that i does't killed someone in greenfort - but not sure.

I think one guard in the prison wants to kill me, because he follows me there ever i go in the prison but don't he don't take his funny saber <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> to attack me. And i'm not allowed to take mine to attck someone inside the prison. Killing someone outside the prsion ist also bad, because after that i'm not allowed to go into the prison <i>(and i loose my cool relation)</i>.

Going back on my ship and then returning to prison don't really helps to fix it.

Any other ideas <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Greetings
 
While I've not had the problem speaking with the teacher, I have had the battle mode activate when entering the prison as well as two guards following me around. In my case what has happened is during the mission where Oxbay is liberated by the french and the player is sent to jail for the tavern brawl, the one in which Ralph is klled (Danielle's officer) when the jailer speak's to the player if he joins your crew you need to fight your way to the front door, battle mode obviously goes on and the guards attack, before you meet the governor at the entrance.

The next time I went to the Jail for the animist quest the battle mode is still on and the guards while not attacking me followed me every where. There isn't anyone to fight in the prison but the battle mode is definetly still on. Not sure if this is whats happening with other folk, but thats how it looks on my game.

Edit: at first it seemed like I couldn't speak with the teacher but fine possitioning of my character let me question him and continue the quest.

The only connection between battle mode and the prison that I've been able to find is escaping from jail rather than the governor releasing you, I haven't tested yet if after being released by the governor the battle mode is on, I'll do so in a bit.
 
Hello,
finally I could speak to him know. I noticed that then i "meet" the teacher the first time then i'm in prison (after reentering) he don't react as fast like on meeting him again. <i>(Hope you understand me)</i> So reentered, ran to his cell and spoke to him. I was fast enough <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Thanks for your help!

Greetings and a best wishes for next year!
 
Just ran through the main mission quickly up to the part where the character gets jailed, didn't do anything else apart form the main story quests, didn't attack any ships etc, went into the greenford prison using the fast travel option upon arriving at greenford to scout out oxbay theres no battle mode active after scouting oxbay went into prison again no battle mode, got to the point where theplayer is jailed, and due to not having the stats to recruit the gunner was released by the governor, no battle mode, went back into the jail again after being released and again no battle mode.

Seems in my case to be if you escape from jail the battle mode stays on for the whole game and not just the escape, I have a save not far before being sent to jail, but I'm going out to the pub now, so most likely wont be testing anything when I get home due to large amounts of alchohol <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> .

When I get around to it I'll level up before getting jailed and escape to test if the battle mode does indeed stay on and the guards do that strange following thing.

Edit: For some reason I had written "up to the part where the character gets killed", instead of "up to the part where the character gets jailed" , I blame the drink <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
Late, but better late than never: It definitely is the escape which causes the battle mode to stay active in the prison. And if you´re really unfortunate ( like me) you can´t continue in the main quest as well, since you need to talk to Padre Domin* to find Danielle; the other priest at Isla Muelle won´t do, but you can´t rescue the padre if you can´t continue in the Strange Things quest.
 
Apparently the padre remains in his cell even after rescuing him. I think I ought to play that quest again and see if I can figure out what's wrong. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
 
I managed to talk to the Satanist, despite the battle mode. What you´ve got to do is walk up to the cell really carefully and always try to adress him. You can do it a fraction before he starts cowering.

On the note of Padre Domingues, I completed the Strange Things quest and all of a sudden the padre was back in his church once I went back to Isla Muelle (the city, I mean). <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> So, no trouble there.
