Mutagen Puzzle is broken for me.
« on: December 18, 2016, 06:56:36 pm »
I'm going to cut to the chase since I spent hours on this both searching wikis and info.

1. None of my regents start with the Exitus-1 compound marker I got with KL
2. That means I have to remove something to start right? Well here comes the next issue. Any combos that remove anything before the KL gives me a X5, which can only be removed by a regent with a HI maker that none of the other regents have a - version of.

I can provide a pastebin of the regents, but I'm also going to cut to the chase and ask if this is a bug from the random generator. Seeing as I cannot find a way to complete this puzzle for a part that my gimped PSI basied char cannot pass without the "bonus" this mission gives. Can I submit a save and hope something can be done? I spend 80+ hours on my first save. I just want to beat the damn game without cheating.

Also this verification is ridiculous

Making the paste-bin now. Also I see what you mean about posting once and not having an issue.

I am 90% sure about this. I can upload my save to show you if needed. Any typos would still be only 1 Letter or number off. I will try to screenshot some of this stuff. Maybe make a comp shot.


But while we're struggling with these reagents, as a sidenote, psi characters shouldn't have too hard time with the boss. Skipping the mutagen puzzle can even be helpful - if you've got Locus of Control you can just walk up to the boss, invoke LoC+enrage and hide behind a Force Field while the boss destroys itself. If not, often a combo of Telekinetic Proxy, Implosion, Mental Breakdown, Neural Overload plus few more Neural Overloads is enough to finish the eye in one-two turns.

I got the implosion part down, but I didn't know I could mental breakdown it. I will try that next. In fact let me try and see if I can do that first.

Either save file or screenshots are fine by me, for double-checking the reagents.

But in case the puzzle really was generated without a solution (I still doubt that's possible), the devs will probably need your save file to check it out.

Save file right at the scanner. If there is any issues please let me know. (I had to upload it twice so I hope there are no errors.)

And lastly I did not know he was so weak to neural overload. I really worried too much about the rest of the damage coming at me to think about my own nukes.

...............

I am sorry for wasting your time. Thanks for the great game, and thank you for helping me. Have a good day.  :)
