Wizardry 8 Hints

Why does Glumph attack my party after I return him to the General?

  • After returning Sgt. Glumph to the General, he will leave your party. In some instances, immediately after the conversation has ended, Glumph will then attack your party, causing the rest of the Umpani to attack as well.  I'm not sure whether to call this a bug or not, but it can definitely be annoying. The best way to avoid this situation is to bring Glumph directly from Bayjin to Mt. Gigas. Should you visit any other areas while he is in your party (such as Marten's Bluff), Glumph may become hostile.

    If you do find yourself in this situation, there's a very good chance it could ruin your game, as your faction rating with the Umpani will plummet as soon as Glumph attacks. To work around the problem, reload a save from a point when Glumph was still in your party. If you incapacitate him before speaking with the General, he won't have the chance to attack. Try loading him up with some heavy items, then running around the caves until he passes out. If all else fails, you can simply kill him -- my favorite method is to take him for a short underwater expedition without his scuba gear. Regardless of Glumph's condition when you speak to the General, you will still receive credit for completing the quest.
