Talk:The Root of the Problem

I'd like to add / point out something about this quest... I just did the quest, following this guide, which worked great, right up to the end.

The guide says that you'll only have to fight the sludge once, by Sneak-popping the Magic Sludge once for each Black Mage, and then just fighing the last one that is spawned. So, following the guide, we spawned the first one, and let it despawn.

When the second Black Mage went to spawn his Magic Sludge, it did not give him the cutscene with the doll, but just said something about there being magic energy in the area. When I targeted and selected the ??? again, the Magic Sludge spawned again right away. we waited for it to despawn, and the other Black Mage tried again to no avail.

We ended up killing my Magic Sludge, healing up, and then the other Black Mage was able to spawn his own. He mentioned something about SquareEnix fixing this little loophole, and I'd like to submit that it has been fixed.

If so, then the article will have to be edited as such. Can anyone else confirm?
