HUGE bug in the Mansion, beware!!!

BEWARE !!! I just got screwed majorly by the nasty bug!

"spoiler"

When you drop the statue with the bow in the water, in the pool room that's under construction don't die in the water after you pick up the bow! I jumped in the water picked up the bow, then swam to open the switch to the GYM (and picking up the artifact) and died by running out of air. When I restarted from checkpoint I don't have the bow and it's no longer then to be picked up! So you can't finish the puzzle and you have the play the mansion over again!

This is SOOOOO frustrating.

Never happened to me, but thanks for the warning.

Welcome to the forums. :wve:

Welcome :wve:

I dropped the statue before fillling the pool.

I don't think you could regard this as a bug though:confused:

I always get the bow first, so no danger of drowning. Maybe we're not suppose to repair the water system before getting the bow.

I replayed it the second time and everything worked fine as long as I didn't die in the water.

FYI: this is the North American PC version.

Also, I encountered allot of bugs on the Natla's mine levels where the rats get INTO the control room where you have to fix the fuzzes. Don't think it was supposed to be this way as you don't have the guns until you put in the fuze. Also some of the rats get stuck in the crates where you see their tails but not the rats themselves.

Does anyone know if it matters that you get all the artifacts and relics before you finish the game or you cant play through the levels after you finish and get them? Is the outcome the same.

after you get the grapple and the guns, you can do the gym or the room under construction in whatever order you like, also, there is no real need to fill the pool, just get the bow and swim straight back up.

the purpose of filling the pool is, ironically, to PREVENT you from drowning after getting the artifact...

This just happened to me (PS2 version) this afternoon too, drowned after getting the bow, and the bow was totally absent thereafter until I re-started the level. A most annoying way to start your new game, I must say!

Ahhh, this happened to somebody on a different forum. I'll go tell him it's a bug :P
