HC char died due to a bug - revive?

Grim Dawn General Discussion

Hello dear guys,

I got a serious problem tho … i died (second time) due to an unknown bug. I was already pretty far in the game and im playin as i told in the title on heroic which means that my dead is absolute. Due to the cirumstances that i wasnt failing id like to get my char revived. In older threads i read a lot about a hex editor and the save file. I actually found the save file but the hex editor will give me nothin less than stupid letters which are nonsense instead of a clean text! I need help - is there a way??

Hello Doublehelix and welcome to the forums!

GD Stash has a feature whereby you can tick and untick a check box that will adjust whether Grim Dawn recognises a character as having died or not.

In addition to this feature, GD Stash also come with a plethora of other extremely useful features. I am certain you will like it!

Enjoy!

Actually, HC / SC is a flag, number of deaths is a numeric field. Set it to 0 and you should be good again :wink:

I knew I was inaccurate with my recounting of the specifics.

Forgive me, I am sitting at my desk at work :rolleyes:

Infallible as always, Mamba :slight_smile:

Can you share more details about how you died, so that Crate can try to fix whatever bug killed you?

Yea sure. First time it was pretty early in the game - i was around lvl 17 - and tried to do the depraved sanctuary thingy which worked actually pretty well. Right at the beginning there were 3 enemy heros goin towards we. Two of em were level 18 and the last was level 20. I killed first the weaker ones without any strugglin and than i faced the stronger one. It took some time and some potions and i was able to kill him. At that moment when this silver shiny thing popped out with all the loot in it - i died. No enemy nearby, nothin - i just died.

Second time - same dungeon - same enemies - level now 36! I saved dis dungeon cuz i was hella damn pissed bout those 3 guys! Now i increased my level, got very very nice items and killed those 3 enemy heros in a one shot AND surprisingly - when the strongest one fall down - i fall aswell. It looked much like dis (thats not me - its just to show u how it kinda looked: search on yt: “Grim Dawn: Strange instant death”. Cant post links cuz ive not the permission :S

Both times i played a shaman/soldier focussed on primal strike.

Are you sure you didn’t die to the Harbinger AoE explosion?

When a Harbinger is killed it lets out a large AoE chaos nova which is highly damaging if you are in melee range and have no resistances. They do not explode if their mana has been depleted. Alternatively make sure the killing blow is at range.

Should probably play softcore for awhile until you learn the game mechanics. You’ll suffer plenty of deaths and all you’ll want to do is revive your character using rogue programs.
