When the game was young, the Castle of the Worm quest — Level 20 part of the main quest chain — gave fits because:
- It was easy to die in the last fight.
- If you died, it was hard to rez and keep going.
Both those things are STILL true for me — to lesser extents than before, but still badly enough to be quite annoying.
I’ve now tried the quest four times on the character I’m currently leveling, each of which has required restarting the quest from the beginning (or more precisely from the portal in the Harborage). And I can’t drop the quest and reacquire it. So I’m asking for help.
I have no problem killing everything, and getting to the point that Abnur Tharn yells that I should strike Mannimarco. But when I then strike him, I immediately die, to a “Necromantic Barrier” that damages me for exactly my max health. I’ve tried both bow and my melee weapon. Once with each weapon I’m quite sure that I haven’t been dawdling and that I also didn’t fall afoul of the outer barrier to the fighting area.
What might I be doing wrong?
I hope this isn’t some obscure show-stopper bug because I waited until Level 43 to do the quest …
