Stuck in alchemy bench screen

Bugs
#1

I don’t know if this is a pre-patch issue or a post-patch issue as it is the first time I’ve been able to try alchemy, but I’m at the herbalist outside of ledetchenko preparing my first attempt at a schnapps.

I THINK I made it all properly, but once I fill the phial, his hand pops back up to the bellows cord, and I can’t do anything after that, including leaving the screen. I have to Alt-F4 and start again.

As I said, I don’t know if this a new or old bug, as it’s the first time I’ve been able to access the alchemy puzzles.

Cheers.

No one else is having this issue? I tried again today while I road past another little herbalist’s house in the countryside to see if it happens everywhere, and again, once I ‘think’ I’ve made the potion (I say ‘think’ because I believe i’m following the steps properly because I’ve never been able to leave the screen!) once again Henry reaches for the bellows cord and I can no longer do anything else. None of the key commands respond.

I am hoping there is not a critical quest than requires you to successfully make a potion at this stage! :smiley:

Try using the bellows when that happens. The game might be waiting for you to do something in the minigame.

#4

Have you tried something else, … another potion? Same problem?

#5

The only options that work are to press t for the tutorial, which I can read and then hold ESC to leave, or I can hold R to reset… but once I do that, I still can’t do anything else, and he still holds the bellows cable.

I haven’t tried any other potions yet because I haven’t bothered to learn any… if I can’t even make the one in the book that’s already there to show you how to do stuff, then I didn’t think it worth chasing up other potions yet. :slight_smile:

Okay, for some reason it worked this time… seems maybe I was using the distiller and that was locking it up… I wasn’t pouring it directly from the cauldron. Didn’t actually know you could use it that way, so that may be the error on my part! :slight_smile: Thanks.

Still not sure why the game would lock me into the bellows part though and not let me leave the alchemy table, but for now… improvement! :smiley:
Thanks, again.
