I'm running the Steam version but i doubt this matters.

No matter how much I damage X, the boss fight title ("Xszark, Possessor of the Rune of Death") and the health bar are still there.
His health regenerates when I stop attacking him.
There is no crash when I jump into the pool.

Please upload a savegame, created before the health bar disappears.
Steam vs. Nexus: I only asked because you can't use a Steam savegame in the Nexus version and vice versa, so I know which version I need to test your savegame.

Screenshots:
Here is Xszark with blank life bar: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 43D462393/
and here his life bar is gone: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 175436C2F/

Killing his life bar is actually pretty easy for my Toorum, just dish out a few Elemenal Storms to do it. I also noticed that once his life bar is gone and i continue the fight right away (no pool jumping) his life bar remains gone. Once his shield breaks down (takes a while) and he takes damage again the game crashes.

You can grab my savegame here. It's right before the conversaion. Just step forward and unleash some spells on him.

Thanks, now I can reproduce the bug.
It's because of the fire aura.

X has the "CantDie" flag set, so his health should never drop below 1.
But apparently:
If his health is at 1, and you damage him many times in rapid succession
then the game thinks (for a moment) that he's dead, and the boss fight ends.

Also works with fire bombs or poison bombs.

I'll set his "Invulnerable" flag when phase 2 ends, and clear it when phase 4 begins.
This will also prevent the player from dropping X's health to 1 during the conversation, and then killing him with single blow in phase 4.

in thelonius heritage dungeon i found the horn of summoning and lit a torch that goes out when you walk along. what is the clue there??

Stay in this area and try to blow the horn on different tiles. Mind the writing on the wall...

You are almost there.

HintShow

The sign says "jump two times over the fire". If you have reached the highest platform you jumped just once over it...

SolutionShow

You have also to jump down the platforms on the other side. And from the last one you have to blow the horn again ...

and after that? was are happend to going further?

Well, the door to the next part opens.

A few minor observations which might be worth adressing:

Some item build-in Special Attacks are free of charge i.e. the Greater Fireball from Zhandul's Orb cost no energie at all.
Was this intended?

A few spells with duration are limited to the character portrait and feature no an on-screen timer icon i.e. Prismatic Shield or Haste.
It would be nice to have such icons too to be able to tell when they expire.

With some specific items it is possible to have a negative load value for one or more characters. Yet they still seem to fall like having a positive weight. Shouldn't those character(s) as least gain Wind River's feather-fall effect or even the ability to float?
