help: remembrance bugged - is my savegame cooked?
*SPOILERS FOR MID TO LATE GAME*
Hi there,
I am currently on my 2nd playthrough of this game and went for an inferno build. So far it went great and I really like the build. I am dual weilding bloodlust with axe of the flayed, but I focus on using magic via the catalyst you get for freeing the tortured prisoner.
My overall goal was (no surprise there): Getting the Lightreapers swords.
So, I finally came to the final lightreaper fight in upper calrath. I gave the lightreaper a couple of tries (yes, I got rid of the parasite beforehand) but my build being an inferno build seemed to finally be not the best for an encounter. So after dying a couple of times I summoned help via multiplayer (yes yes, git gud blabla, I know).
I used "NON-shared-progression" and set full guest privileges to "NO". We managed to defeat the lightreaper. After the fight I went to umbral for the stigma. Before I could get it, the summoned player used it with his lantern (I guess that doesn't count as full privilege) and I got the umbral scourings for it.
After that we went on, finishing off Andreas and my summoned helper sprinted into the bossfight against the Iron Wayfarer as well - don't get me wrong, I was grateful for the help and the LotF-Community is overall very friendly and helpful, but the sprinting from A to B is something I don't like, which is why I didn't summon any help this playthrough up till the Lightreaper fight.
So I left the session after defeating the Iron Wayfarer because I wanted to go on alone. So, I went to Molhu to get the Lightreapers swords, but when I wanted to access the Lightreaper's remembrance, it told me: "investigate the stigma in the last known location of the lightreaper", which I already did.
I thought to myself: "Okay, weird, maybe it's because the other guy used the stigma" and went back to use the stigma again. So I did. Played it till the end. Nothing, still no change at Molhu's. I got nervous. I googled it. Google suggested: Go kill the Lightreaper again via the option from a vestige, where you can choose to fight bosses again. Google said, that might reset my inventory etc.
So I fought the Lightreaper again. Again, I died a couple of times, but on my 6th attempt or so I finally beat him.
No change at Molhu's. I just can't access his remembrance. I have the Lightreaper's flesh in my inventory since beating him with help online from before, so there is some sign that the fight triggered something in my inventory, but the remembrance is still missing.
Pardon my french, but now I feel like ****. Getting the swords was the main goal of this playthrough and I don't want to start all over again, just because the game bugged out on me.
EDIT: I have not killed Paladin Isaac and obviously did not summon him for the Lightreaper fight. Do I have to do Isaac first?
Has anyone experienced this problem and knows how to fix it? Google suggested to go and join a "shared progression" playthrough of another player, but I fear that this might just make everything worse haha, oh boy...
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
