Posted: Wed Apr 26, 2006 4:37 am Post subject: Can't recruit Bastan!!! HELP PLEASE!! |
|
|
Hey All,
I've currently got 107 out of the 108 stars, but the last one I'm having a bugger of a time getting is Bastan.
I've travelled high and low, collected all sorts of ?Paintings, and nothing I do seems to be working.
I've been travelling with Lorelei, Zweig, and Babbage in my party to help the percentage rate on dropped treasure, and still nothing...
I've literally spent ten + hours trying to find the proper ?Painting to give to him... But I'm most obviously doing something wrong.
Somebody please HELP ME!!!
Cheers! _________________ Red Dye #5 is not an essential nutrient. |

well you couldn't of edited your first post instead of double posting, but here's how you get him.
plain and simple, go to the revolving bride and take some on who has the treasure hunt rank. get about a dozen of ?paintings from the mechincal soldiers and archers. after you got a dozen or so, go to huad and talk to bastan. if a dialouge doesn't show up, leave the building and re-enter it to see if a dialouge comes out. keep on doing this until it comes up. make sure you use the ?painting you get from the revolving bridge since those are the only ones that will work. _________________

Actually any ? Paintings will work and you don't have to appraise the painting to trigger the scene, you can just talk to him and if it doesn't trigger just cancel out and try again. |

Isn't there a different location to find the paintings too? I know I didn't get mine in the revolving bridge, I picked it up somewhere else. I can't remember where that location is though. Does anyone else know?
I believe the strat guide says something about it as well, if you don't find it in your run through the bridge you can get it easier at a later point in the game.
I could be crazy though, perhaps someone has some idea what I'm talking about though. _________________

Thanks guys, I'll give that a try.
I did try talking to him, and exiting out of the store menu if it popped up, but from the sounds of it, I have to leave the store entirely.
Thanks! _________________ Red Dye #5 is not an essential nutrient. |

I don't think it's possible to recruit him after Stormfist. _________________ Pizza Hut supports the rebellion!

Dont listen to these silly people saying you're too late. The revolving bridge is the earliest place to get the panting he desires, however after you take Stormfist if you enter the world map in that region the monsters there also drop the painting. Therefore it is entirely possible to recruit him after Stormfist, were it not for the revolving bridge it would be impossible to recruit him -before- Stormfist. _________________

Okay,
So...
I've tried everything you guys have suggested, and still no Bastan... Grrrr.
I've gone to the revolving bridge and maxed out my inventory with ?Paintings, then I went to the area just outside of Stormfist and fought the Wyverns to get some more ?Paintings.
Then I went to Haud, and kept going in and out of the appraisers shop, kept talking to him, but nothing... Just the option to appraise my paintings and that's it.
I spent a good 3 hours doing this and nothing...
Story wise (Potential SPOILER alert),
I just finished the cutscene where you see Sialeeds dealing with the Barrows family, and killing Salum.
Perhaps I have gone too far in the game to recruit anymore characters?? _________________ Red Dye #5 is not an essential nutrient. |

not totally sure if you went to far, but i know for a fact after that cut scene once you talk to lucretia to go on with the next war battle then it's to later to recruit i believe. i have no clue what the cut off is for bastan since i usually got him after the revolving bridge stuff. but like what Fudozukushi said, you prolly can't get him after stormfist. good thing new game + usually go a lot faster. _________________

Outside of stormfist is most likely where I got the painting, because I remember I levelled there for a bit. When I got it i just stumbled upon it. You're extremely close to the cutoff point of where all quests end in a no recruit though. Perhaps that's the problem? I'm really not sure. As far as I can tell you're doing everything right... _________________

Hmm... Well, I'm having a bugger of a time getting him. Perhaps I'll just finish the game and try it again with the New Game +
Thanks for all the help guys. _________________ Red Dye #5 is not an essential nutrient. |
