chapter 10 bug

[Frogwarrior]

So ever since I took over Cronos, Celice has not ungrayed at the beginning of every turn. What's up?

I mean, it's not a big problem - Lynn has the Leg and Knight Rings, so she can keep him in the action - but it's annoying.

I encountered something similar myself when I played through the game. As I recall, the bug makes Celice stay grey at the start of every turn. It's quite disturbing. I'm pretty sure it has other effects, like making the screen go strange colours and freezing the game, but my memory is a little hazy.

Does anyone know what triggers it? All I know is that it's something that happens between Cronos and Chalphy.


EDIT: Yes, agreed. The dismount action does ring a bell now.

IIRC this occurs if you use the Dismount option.  I could be completely off, but I seem to remember this happening to me too.

Dismount indeed makes this happen sometimes, I've had it happen in Ch9.

Well, duh, that would do it. I accidentally dismounted Celice, like, the turn that I captured the castle.

Everything went smoothly until I captured Miletos, at which point the cursor got screwy. I mean, the cursor appeared half a square to the right of the square it was selecting.
I tried saving and resetting the emulator, but something even mroe disturbing happened - Celice completely disappeared from the map. His unit sprite, though, replaced one of the neutral children that Bishop What's-his-name is trying to protect... I think dismounting just made the game completely forget about Celice in the unit roster, so it didn't ungray him and it forgot about him when loading the save file. Weird.

Yeah...I ended up with Celice's sprite in the very top-left corner.  Grayed out.  Very strange.
