Locked in Bedroom after waking up in Through a Nightmare, Da

Post » Mon Dec 05, 2011 10:29 am

So I completed the dream world in Through a Nightmare, Darkly. I was sleeping in the bedroom in Silverhome. However, when I woke up I was locked in the bedroom with no key and no lockpicks (i know i know i should have had some), and unable to use the bed because i "can't sleep in an owned bed" so what the hell am i supposed to do now??? My only saves are either within the dreamworld or ~30 hours earlier in my game (a game i'm 35 hours into). I don't know what to do :( there has got to be a way to resolve this issue and get me out of this freakin bedroom but I cannot figure it out. I tried bashing down the door, using spells (unfortunately I don't have unlock spells or the skeleton key, FML) waiting for hours, summoning creatures, trying to get people to open the door from the outside; I even tried transferring my game save to the computer and editing that to give me some lock picks but i didn't get very far with that. Literally nothing is working and I'm at my wit's end. If I can't figure anything out I'll probably just stop playing because there's no way I'm redoing 30 hours. It just pisses me off that a glitch had to ruin my entire game experience. Someone please help me.

Also im on the ps3 GOTY edition.

You are supposed to sleep in the bed right next to Henantier in his house. I don't know why the game let you enter the dreamworld from the inn room (it should not have let you as far as I'm concerned), but I guess that's hindsight now. What happened is that you returned to the real world after your lease on the inn room expired (it ends at midnight the next day, so at most you lease the room for 24 hours) so you are now stuck.

Your only option at this point is to reload inside the dreamworld and try to get out before midnight rolls past. Otherwise, take this as a lesson: always keep backup saves.

Thank you Thank you THANK YOU. I loaded up my oldest dreamworld save and it was at 11:36 pm!!! I had to do a speedrun through the trap-filled world and talk to Henantier as fast as possible and I made it out with like 2 or 3 (in game) minutes to spare. I've never run through a bedroom door faster in my life. Time to save my game a million different times. Again, THANK YOU.
