ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Trying to unlock the Doomed, and I get to the bottom floor of the Dark Crypt. I read around the forums, and the consensus seemed to be that the cultist won't spawn your shade unless you deactivate his bone shield somehow. I did so with my Spellhunt Remnants, but no shade. Run around waiting for them to recharge, and I try again, to no luck.

I couldn't find any mention in the patch notes about this, or any recent bug reports, so not sure if this is a lingering issue or a new one.

Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm guessing it isn't tied to the disabling of Bone Shield anymore, since that is what broke it last version.
Maybe try hurting the cultist.

I had the same thought, so I brought the cultist very close to death (and actually almost killed him accidentally because I forgot to turn of auto-Mucus), but nothing still.

Looks like Bone Shield needs to still be active, but have no shields left. Then you damage them to summon the shade.

A catch so that both work, would be appropriate. If I have corrupted negation, first thing I do to anything with bone shield is dispel that piece of crap. Ditto disperse magic, or gloves of dispersal. Why deal with it, when I can get rid of it?
