Merlin's Crystal Bugged Demon Summon

Post by The RWBY Phoenix »

What did you do?--
Attempted to Summon "Thrantax the Mighty" during Merlin's Crystal quest following both the 2009scape and OSRS walkthrough guides


What happened?
No matter what combination/order of method I can't seem to get the Demon to spawn, whether I light the black candle before dropping the bat bones, lighting it after, dropping multiple bat bones, having multiple black candles



What did you expect to happen? (Provide a source from runescape wiki/youtube/etc if possible)
https://youtu.be/ESX-qriNtCE?t=413
(Should start at 6:53)



Are there any relevant item/npc IDs? (use ::debug command in chat)
bat bones ID:530
Black Candle ID:38(32 When Lit)
Excalibur ID:35

Any screenshots/recordings?
Yes, a few


Have you reproduced it on the test server? If so, what are the steps?
I have not, however it's fairly repeatable

Please note that OSRS is not an acceptable source for any kind of content behavior claim. The guide to sourcing data is pinned in this forum, and a massive catalog of quest reference videos are provided in that post.

Apologies, I saw no such pinned catalog, I spent over 45 minutes attempt every possible method I could think of before posting here, and was repeatedly met with "That's weird" or "I don't know"

and when I stepped over to Discord, I was almost immediately redirected here so I did what I could to keep it clear that I had done everything within my power to solve this on my own before bringing it to a Bug forum

I have used almost exclusively 2009scape info, wiki, and quest walkthroughs, and this was the first time I hit a complete wall in terms of progress, so I folded and came here

Apologies for the inconvenience.

No, by all means reporting bugs is a good thing. I just wanted to make it clear that when doing so, OSRS is not an acceptable thing to cite. We have a guide for sourcing data viewtopic.php?t=19-guide-to-sourcing-data

I have the link pinned now

Other than that, any luck figuring out what I screwed up on?
As far as the guide goes, I have completely recreated every single step I possibly can, it wont let me redo the "Hide in Crate" animation and I can't get Morgan to reappear from fighting the NPC on the top floor

I don't know what else I can try, and I have had people say "It works for me" but no matter what I try, it DOESN'T work for me for some reason
