    I'm stuck on chapter one in the Peninsula.

    In the pits I'm trying to kill the Head Gaoler/Intellect Devourer.

    I talk to all the gards and they leave. I then attack Gaoler and kill him but the Intellect Devourer does on appear?.

    No matter what I do it does not appear (tried leaving guards there, even restarting the whole mission again).

    Anyone got any ideas. I'm playing a human fighter if that makes any differnce.

    The daft thing is that I have done this bit before but playing a ranger and did not have any problems at all.

    Thanks

    [​IMG] What do you mean talk to the guards and they leave? You're not supposed to be able to talk to them, they're under the mind control of the devourer (if he's still alive at that point). As the Head Gaoler is killed, he jumps from one guard to another until they're all dead, and only then fights itself. Maybe you nailed the little bugger before it managed to get anyone else... Look around with TAB if his brain's anywhere on the floor.

    Apparently you can talk to the guards and if you're persuasive enough they snap out of it and leave.

    When I got down there, the Head Gaoler saw me and attacked before I could finish even one conversation, so I had to kill them all. :) Not that I minded... ;)

    I have heard of some people having the missing Intellect Devourer problem, but I'm not sure of the solution.

    In that area, if you talk to the guards you can persuade them to leave (check out the offical chapter one guide if in doubt).

    Anyway ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the full game as jsut about tried everything else under the sun and he would not appear/.

    Well I tried it myself and couldn't talk to them, but I suppose that was because the head Gaoler was already running to me and attacking...

    I managed to talk to the guards even while being attacked - the gaoler killed me as I got the 4th guard to snap out of it. My character did have 16 or 17 charisma which might have helped.

    I've never had the missing intellect devourer though.

    My charisma is rather poor, only 10. :p

    As for this bug, try the official support forums, they might have a clue.
