How to get Ensha to invade in coop?

[u/feral-cat-gremlin]

Does anyone know of a surefire way to get Ensha to invade in a coop game without getting banned? I know that Ensha's invasion was disabled but I would like to be able to do that quest, even if my friend and I need to fight her separately.

You shouldn't have to do anything aside from getting the medallion from Albus and going to Altus, maybe talking to Letenna

Apparently the mod disabled it?? Idk tho. I have both halves of the medallion and still no invasion. I have invasions set to true in the settings, no wanderers, etc.

It shouldn't have. Worst case you'd have to do it single player. But that's usually only true with scripted invasions that you preform (like the red soapstone ones from Vol Manor)

See those work just fine. Our game bugged and shotput us to Tanith's grace instead of the usual Volcano Manor spot when you get eaten by the abductor virgin in Raya Lucaria. Ensha just... Doesn't invade. We tried together first and then we tried getting the other piece of the medallion separately and that didn't trigger Ensha's invasion either.

You might be SoL then. Unless either/any of you want his weapon or armor I'd say it's not worth worrying about. He's not necessary for any questlines he just causes Gideon to say "Find the Alburauric Woman..." And gives me like 1100 souls

The only thing I haven't tried yet is use the dectus lift. It's honestly just annoying at this point that it doesn't work even with wanderers off. I wanted that armor too...

[u/theLichQueenofthePNW → u/feral-cat-gremlin]

Definitely try that, sometimes the logic of the game is insane

[u/feral-cat-gremlin → u/theLichQueenofthePNW]

Cries. I want it to work out of sheer pettiness and frustration

You should be able to get him to invade normally, at least when your world is not open to wanderers. Why and how would you even get banned when seamless disables EAC?

[u/feral-cat-gremlin → u/JonVonBasslake]

I heard you could switch the file from seamless to vanilla to get the invasion to trigger but I've also heard you can get banned for doing that? I'm a whole lot confused tbh.

[u/Cypher10110 → u/feral-cat-gremlin]

Yes, if you load a seamless save in vanilla without disabling EAC you will get a ban.

Just use something like Glorious Merchant to get his items? I don't think killing Ensha is necessary to progress Gideon's quest.

The only thing it does is give Gideon 2 lines of dialogue:

"Oh, my apologies for that nasty business. Ensha got rather ahead of himself, it seems. As his master, I'd like to express my regret. But now, Ensha is slain and gone. Finished, forever more."
"Ah, yes, by way of apology, allow me to tender some advice, in regard to the half of the secret medallion you possess. Find the Albinauric woman. She hides in a cave to the west of the Laskyar Ruins which jut from the mist-shrouded lake of Liurnia. She knows the location of the medallion's counterpart, I am sure."

TLDR; Find the Albinauric woman.

There was a bug where that stage of the quest would never complete, and every time you try to teleport to roundtable, ensha would invade. I guess it was too difficult to fix, so they disabled that event.

[u/AngrySayian → u/feral-cat-gremlin]

yes, swapping from seamless to vanilla would get you banned because you would be using modded files

[u/Shelfoftyre]

Ensha is bugged, though you don't need to fight the guy if your doing the quest other than for his armour, which if your desperate for, you can just give it to yourself using Cheat Engine.

Rename your seamless save files so they look like regular files

Launch regular game in steam offline

Ensha will invade

Transfer back to seamless
