Loving this mod! :steamhappy:

@Guy Ahah perfect ! Do not hesitate if you find anything.

@sirmadnesstv So I went to youtube and found the Diablo 1 soundtrack :-) Thanks for the advice, I love it:steamhappy:
SirMadnessTV  [author] 25 Dec, 2024 @ 4:51am 
Hey again @Guy Yeah I wish I could add it but you can turn solasta's music to 0 and play the original one on YT maybe. Also the original game is still playable on gog or battlnet in case. Have fun anyway and let me know if you have something else !
Guy 25 Dec, 2024 @ 4:24am 
I had to go speak with someone in Tristram, then the level was accessible. I stopped playing, went to sleep and as I was drifting away it occurred to me- DUH. LOL TY for your awesome work. I played the original Diablo over 20 years ago and this is a fun romp down memory lane! If only it could have the original music!! Sometimes I still hear that Diablo music score in my head to this day- it's haunting.

Hey there @Guy Did you found on each side of the tomb the things to wear armors ?
- If yes and it's not clickable, it might be maybe some monsters left // npc to speak to (check in the quest diary if it says something about it.)
- if the things are clickable they are the levers that you seek.

I see a door that says To Level 4 but the door doesn't open. this is the level that has the book about King Leoric. I've killed all the bad guys and don't see a trigger or anything and Ive snuck through the place looking for a hidden door but still the door doesn't open or anything. It actually looks like there should be a blue portal there, What have I missed?

Hey @djrafarj - yep there is several chests near the carvans. You can store everything in there.
djrafarj 8 Oct, 2024 @ 2:52pm 
I´m really glad with this mod, but, I cant find a place to keep my stuff so i can go light to the dungeon. We dont have a chest ?
SirMadnessTV  [author] 11 Jul, 2024 @ 4:18pm 
@noralorraine oh thanks a lot it's a precious feedback. Hope you may be able to enjoy the rest still.
noralorraine 11 Jul, 2024 @ 2:13pm 
So, actually, I did end up having another problem and it might help you diagnose the problem. When I talked to Gillian at the close of Fallen Angel, I had the map of the cathedral, which opened up Grave Matters, but I couldn't talk to Gillian about it so I couldn't progress the quest or interact with the grave. (To clarify, Fallen Angel closed successfully, but Grave Matters opened unsuccessfully with Gillian not willing to talk again.) So I went back to an earlier save when I hadn't defeated the defiler yet. This time, I defeated but didn't loot the Defiler, then went to Gillian to open and complete Fallen Angel as described below. Then went back to loot the Defiler to get the cathedral map, then talked to Gillian successfully about Grave Matters. It seems that there is an issue with interacting with Gillian with these two quests at the same time.

Hey again @noralorraine and thanks for your time and playthrough.I hope everything will be good until the end this time :)
noralorraine 8 Jul, 2024 @ 9:30am 
Thanks for getting back to me. I have restarted the campaign and have gotten past this quest successfully at this point, so don't worry about this o my behalf. However, to help you troubleshoot:

This time, I picked up Theodor and Jersey's Jersey and completed them before even talking to Gillian to open the Fallen Angel quest. After talking to Gillian, I talked to Farnham and Cain to get their dialogue AND talked to Gillian again to get her further dialog about the key and barrel before doing anything further on this quest. After killing Izual, I went back to Gillian immediately to turn in the quest (no vendors, no other npcs, no other quests turned in; just Gillian). And the quest completed successfully.

Thank you again for your responses!
SirMadnessTV  [author] 2 Jul, 2024 @ 6:37pm 
@noralorraine thanks for the time spent with this.
About the blood gemS it's all at the same level, so maybe you can roam all corridors and rooms. The gems are keys to be used at the same level to unlock something. In case you can also check merchants if it was sold by mistake.
Here is the video about this quest (in fr) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LahRpTGjgo&list=PLbZAIso0jJl8fyfd-L6tSMiUofdOfLyOd&index=142

As for the fallen angel I note everything you say but I'll have to dig like real deep in the module and as it was a long time ago I don't really remember where things are. I can't assure a resolution soon as I think i'll need to really re-check everything around and I havn't much time for now. Though it will be top priority of fix. The quest can be done in a normal way but something happens that creates the bug sometimes and I still don't know what so far.

noralorraine 30 Jun, 2024 @ 8:50am 
Hello, thank you for responding!
-yes, I am using UB
-it is the Fallen Angel quest, the journal entry is Back to Gillian
-I don't remember what order the quests were triggered in, but at the same time basically I was looking for Theodore, and also looking for Lester's stuff.
-I spoke to Farnham in triggering the quest, and I have also tried talking to Farnham since, in trying to close this quest.

I looked at other comments and it looks like someone else had this issue awhile ago but I didn't see a resolution to their question.

Also, in looking at comments I saw a question about blood gems, which I've found, and I know from the question that they are supposed to be used to trigger something in the same level. I never saw/found the thing to use them in but I have no recollection of where I found them now. Could you give me a hint about this? Thanks!
SirMadnessTV  [author] 30 Jun, 2024 @ 6:49am 
Hey @Noralorraine, thank you for your time playing the module and this feedback.
- Do you use UB mod ?
- What is the actual entry journal title where you're stuck please ?
- Did you trigger other quest after starting this one ? If so do you remember which one pls ?
- Did you spoke to Farnham ?
This is long time I didn't touch the module so I'm not remembering very well but I'm giving it a look. Thanks for your help answering all this :)
noralorraine 29 Jun, 2024 @ 9:55pm 
Love the campaign so far. I am having problems with The Fallen Angel quest, though. I am supposed to go back to Gillian, which I have. Many times. I talk to Gilliam about the quests. Nothing I have tried has resolved this objective. I have talked to Gillian at least 5 or 6 times now. I killed Izual, and she is supposed to be interested to know that Izaul was here. But the dialogue she has for the quests is about the key being the barrel still. Is there more to this quest that I can't do because it is apparently stuck?
SirMadnessTV  [author] 17 Jan, 2024 @ 4:59am 
Hey @beast_within_you - To go straight "no" - not that i'm against it but just a matter of available time for doing it. I'm already very late on just "fixes" that I need to do on the adventures and "very very late" with a new adventure. Struggling with time I won't give any hope with a 6pl version of any of my custom adventures. it's like 1% chance that will happen (not saying 0 but...)
Sorry for that hope you'll have fun on the 4 players thoughs.

(Yet you can play with 6 but fight will be easier / so If you do I would recommand to avoid clerics in the party to make it a bit harder.)
Beast_within_you 3 Jan, 2024 @ 7:58pm 
will there be a chance for a 6 man version?
SirMadnessTV  [author] 23 Dec, 2023 @ 10:32pm 
Hey @Shalinoth, thank you for your time playing all this and for your feedback. I'm a bit away from video games for now but I'll make sure to check all this when coming back. :)
shalinoth 21 Dec, 2023 @ 10:58pm 
I created the thread for that torch fix. Thanks again for the game!

I finally completed every quest, except for 'Halls of the Blind' which I can see in your list thread is in 'Catacombs 7' but I did everything on that place and checked again. It's all explored and dead and I only see "A Strange Poem" in the quest log.

Oh, I finished The Fallen Angel quest, with Izual dead, but the "Back to Gillian" final part cannot finish, since she only talks about the quest clue. Perhaps I removed an item she needs to see me hold? It's not a big deal, I was able to do the Izual fight.

To be honest, I blame myself for doing a lot of dungeon floors in one visit, without going back to Tristram to see people enough.

P.S. I also played your Hero Quest mod, in which I played a 'Goblin Slayer' team. That was fun and nostalgic!
SirMadnessTV  [author] 16 Nov, 2023 @ 7:03am 
Oh super Nice Shalinoth. Can I ask you to start a thread on this steam page to make sure this "in-game fix" that you found won't be lost in commentaries please ? Also do not hesitate if you found some other bugs or fixes and thanks a lot for your time playing all this.
shalinoth 15 Nov, 2023 @ 5:52pm 
Thank you. It is fixed for me now.
Also, I found a fix for the Sunless Sea torch problem (light with spells won't trigger quest).
You can use Thunderwave to put the torches out again. (Any spell with Extinguish trait).
Now click them while holding a torch in hand. Quest can continue :)
SirMadnessTV  [author] 14 Nov, 2023 @ 5:37am 
Hey there. Ahah yep the Murphy's shrine is double in the level, one statue will pick your items, the other one will give them back. You can find the first one at the start of the level, the other on in north east. You can use them in any order. :)
shalinoth 13 Nov, 2023 @ 1:25pm 
Hi, really enjoying it until Murphy's Shrine took all my items and the only way to progress is a battle in the lost treasure cave? While naked? I talked to Wirt, found his map, then found the NW cave in the trees.
SirMadnessTV  [author] 7 Aug, 2023 @ 6:01pm 
Oh this is true indeed. I boosted the radiant resist to slow a bit the op of clercis, but didn't thought about changing the weapons that delt radiant damages. I'll give it a look asap, good point.
Shaalanaar 7 Aug, 2023 @ 7:48am 
Thanks for the response!

I'll take a look at my setting in the UB menu and let you know whether I have something like that enabled. This module is also my first experience with solasta, so I had not known about the bug with spellcasting.

I don't feel that the fight is too difficult. It is challenging, but very rewarding, and it was satisfying to finish.

As for the two weapons, I believe it's OK if every weapon isn't great, but I'm not sure when or where to use them.

The maul in particular I believe has radiant damage on hit as well, which makes it even weaker in this module compared to something like the grizzly sword available from Griswold's apprentice from the start.

Very minor issues overall, I'm looking forward to trying some of your other adventures as well!
SirMadnessTV  [author] 7 Aug, 2023 @ 6:23am 
About the gorilla and UB mod. Can you verify if you have checked an option to remove spiders ? Maybe this is this one tha treplace stuff ? In case there is no spider at all in diablolasta. It's safe. Otherwise I suggest you to send a save to the #general-modding room of the official discord. Modders may catch the bug.
SirMadnessTV  [author] 7 Aug, 2023 @ 6:23am 
Hello Shaalanaar and thank you for your time with all this. All damages are intentionals on weapons (& monsters) to keep a progression and an interest in maybe, changing them along the way. Yet, if you feel some of these weapons need a bit of up or down I can think about it. Tell me what.

The 4 mages fight should be taken (if we follow the list of floors) around floor 7 of the cathedral. It's possible to make it sooner and up to the player as it's a side quest. I agree that this fight is somewhat different than HnS style (and maybe this is why blizzard removed it ? idk) I tend to like it though. About the ability to shoot across walls it's a solasta known bug. I can't do anything about that. But once again if you feel unbalance somewhere let me know more about it.
Shaalanaar 6 Aug, 2023 @ 4:46pm 
I'm not sure if this is relevant for you but the models of the wyrm type creatures are replaced with gorillas of various sizes when playing with the unfinished business mod. Really bizarre.

It's been a joy to play through, and I can't wait for the sequel!
Shaalanaar 6 Aug, 2023 @ 4:43pm 
Thanks so much for this! Its a loving tribute to the first game. I have a few questions that I'd love to read your thoughts on.

There are two items I've found so far that are 1d6 (shadowhawk, a greatsword, and dreamflange a maul) is this intentional or are they supposed to be 2d6 as is the case with other items in the category?

Also, that 4 mage fight in the soulstone chamber is the hardest fight in the module by far, and it's mostly because the mages are able to cast spells through the walls, without having line of sight of the target, from the centre chamber. Is this intentional? Is the player intended to take them on at the earliest opportunity as well? (In my authentic, and my current cataclysm difficulty runs, this was around level 5)
SirMadnessTV  [author] 28 Jul, 2023 @ 5:11am 
Hey @Arcanitem
I have something about Diablolasta 2 but it won't be the full adventure. I feel that the big land full of monster is not very good for Solasta as it's working. Still You'll have something soon about D2. (I'm not very available this summer but i'll make it public asap.)
ArcaniteM 27 Jul, 2023 @ 8:54pm 
Will you make Diablo 2 as well ?
SirMadnessTV  [author] 1 Jun, 2023 @ 11:38pm 
Ok v1.096 should make the module re-appear and be playable again. Thanks to Zappastuff who find the fix. An item was removed from the coregame and then the Rainbow Cloak had to be modificated. Now it's working again. <3 Hope you'll have fun. Note that I also increase the starting level up to 16 if you want to.

Another patch will come to reach 1.1. This new patch will have a new "end game" area made for you all, who commented on the steam page and mod.io With a new threat to handle. Hope you'll enjoy. ++
SirMadnessTV  [author] 30 May, 2023 @ 8:11pm 
Hey @Bil Nye tho - This is a core game bug so I hope for the next hotfix patch but can't tell. It was reported to devs but no idea of where this came from nore if they could find a fix.
Bill Nye Tho 30 May, 2023 @ 6:49pm 
Any ETA for when this might be fixed?
SirMadnessTV  [author] 28 May, 2023 @ 5:31am 
Hey @Casper yeah apparently there is issue for those who used the new dlc but I can't tell why for now. on it.
Casper 28 May, 2023 @ 2:11am 
Hi
i can´t load the game after the patch was installed?
SirMadnessTV  [author] 27 May, 2023 @ 4:19pm 
Hey there @happycloud . Yep apparently there is some trouble for some ppl but I can't figured why so far. Once I can i'll fix.
Happy Cloud 27 May, 2023 @ 3:14pm 
This isn't showing up for me after subscribing.
RetroJuanker 10 May, 2023 @ 1:36am 
Just not every monster, i find very funny monsters have more resistances than in the original solasta game, makes me be in constant alert! hahaha but i get you cleric ONLY hits with radiant, and maybe some necrotic
SirMadnessTV  [author] 9 May, 2023 @ 5:33pm 
Yep there is no perfect solution here. But I m up for a better one if it comes to mind.
RetroJuanker 9 May, 2023 @ 2:47pm 
i can get you but it feels super anticlimatic when is in almost every monster since level 3...? but yeah is a pretty op spell
SirMadnessTV  [author] 9 May, 2023 @ 1:43pm 
Hey @IfeelFantastic this is exactly why. There was an update where I added this after several feeback point that it was way too easy with spiritual guardians. So I make them resistant (not immun) but yeah cleric less efficient to damage that way.
RetroJuanker 9 May, 2023 @ 11:15am 
Thank you for the amazing work , what i dont get is why MOST monsters are Radiant Resistant, almost breaking the cleric.
SirMadnessTV  [author] 3 May, 2023 @ 6:53pm 
Hey @Gloksan glad you liked :)
Gloksan 3 May, 2023 @ 7:39am 
TY for an epic expirience!
SirMadnessTV  [author] 19 Apr, 2023 @ 4:19am 
Hey @amthen, nothing about feeling stupid here. The blood gems should be used on a room with a brasero. You'll be able to interact with it. (at the same floor.)
Babbit 18 Apr, 2023 @ 12:57pm 
OK, I know I'm goping to feel stupid ..... but I have blood gem and now I have no idea where to go to find the path of val;or or what alter the quest is referring to as its been a while .... help?
