I destroyed all gateways and thus the last - impervious one - appears. When I defeat Mandalf (he's some kind of beige at that point) he drops dead on the sacred ground in front of the portal. My workers refuse to pick him up and put him in prison and I can't do anything with possession about it.

Quote from Andrew "Nutter" Jaggar

If he's dying on Sacred ground, that would explain why he can't be picked up by your imps (they cannot take ownership of items/objects which drop on sacred ground), you'll need to try and get him away from the sacred ground before you kill him again (perhaps the Shockwave spell? or the Wormhole potion if you can get it close enough)


Let me know if that solves the problem or it is something else causing the problem.


Thanks

I only have this problem when he dies on sacred ground. So by luring him out and then killing him I had no problem.

Update: I left the game running for some time and suddenly he disappeared and reappeared again (alive) so that's something.

They still refuse to pick him up whenever I kill him though.

did you perchance, save and load the mission for this to happen?


we have a mandalf related issue where the objective is not fullfilled if you corrupt him, we have not yet heard about this one though. Can you please confirm if your prison is not at full capacity?

Not in this case. It was mostly due to the sacred ground part. I wasn't sure whether it was due to the fact that in order to take prisoners they have to fall on your territory or not (I suppose it is now).

I did have trouble with loading a save on the 'rhoad' level, where claimed and 'unlocked' shrines were being wacky.
