As the title says: casting the blood ritual in the sanctuary in level 5 doesn't move and remains at 0%. Restarting the game doesn't help. Old bugs that persists even after patch 1.3.


Thank you.

The issue indeed exists and I was able to just reproduce it again:


I think the main issue is when the game asked me to start the ritual, I immediately grabbed the single cultist I had and dropped it on the sanctuary before the dwarves even appear. This caused the spell to get stuck at 0%.


Lee, it happens regardless of loading a saved game or starting the level from scratch.

I'm going to be leaving the office in a moment. But I'll ask the QA team to look into whether doing what you did causes the same issue. I'll also look into it personally tomorrow.


If you can provide exact details on what you do on the level as you progress that might be helpful, one of the issues is that it might be something very specific that you wouldn't consider unusual but not many other players do.


I tried a couple of unique ones that I could think of:

  • Killing enemies only with spells
  • Delaying enemies with Quick Freeze c onstantly
  • Possession kills

I suspected it might be the case that you were suffering from it regardless of starting fresh or loading. Just wanted to confirm.

When it first happened and I tried to fix it to get over this level I didn't do anything at all and just waited for the imps to finish, closed the dungeon gaps with 'replacement earth' as instructed, activated the spell and dropped the cultist on the sanctuary, nothing else.


I did it just now and reproduced it a second time in a row.

really strange, it took a few minutes (i had 3 cultists by then) and obey unitl i reached 1% of the progress for the ritual. can you try again, and use the speed settings and set them to 150% ? this should cut down the time.


im sorry that you have to help out so much, but how you describe it its still not reproducable on our side

No problem at all :)


Just reproduced it a third time. Klas is still in my Steam friends' list (I think), so I can show it to him again now.

OK, Klas pointed out that the ritual starts after 6:30-7:00 minutes, and I could not reproduce this bug with him, but I loaded up a previous save game, and it was reproduced. Cancelling the ritual and starting back again didn't help as well.


However, Klas pointed out that the issue was most likely triggered this time by loading up the savegame, but I could indeed reproduce it all the time to a point where I could not progress at all after about 5-6 attempts (I once cleared the entire level, which definitely took more than 7 minutes and the ritual remained at 0%.)


However, now it doesn't reproduce so often, if at all, which is weird.

I just bought this game today, and had this exact bug reported in 2015 happen. Cannot finish this level as the spell is stuck at 0%. Very dissapointing.

Hey Mike,


I'm really sorry that you are experiencing this issue.


Call you recall anything specific that happened while you were playing related to the ritual?


Did you have Cultists working in the Sanctuary?


Did you save the game before starting to channel the ritual?

Bought this game about a week ago and ran into the same problem (patch 1.5). Started the level and didn't pay much attention to the ritual. I destroyed all the gates and cleared the level of all enemies. Now I need to finish the ritual to complete the level and it's stuck at 0%. This is really frustrating since it took me a lot of time to clear the level.


I managed to reproduce the bug 2 times by saving and loading before the ritual gained 1%.


  • One cultist was channeling.
  • I didn't use the freeze potion.
  • The cutscene with the Crakckpot entering the dungeon hasn't played yet (I think). It plays after load when a second crackpot enters (one Crackpot is already present).
  • From the group that spawns after the ritual is initiated, some enemies were killed by a cannon and some were zapped.
  • Seems to work fine if there is no save/load.

Is there a workaround or do I need to restart?


If the save/load is causing the bug, then it is very easy to stumble upon it, since it's a good place to save when the player gets his/her control back.
