Can't get that Holy Grail (Chalice) artifact !

[NightNGL]

Hail, everybody!

Stuck at getting that Holy Grail artifact. Help me, please, as it buggers me off.

As people say and game-files prove you need to capture the barony of Caesarea during a crusade, which targets that barony realm. AI did build Caesarea (it does not appear in 769) and I siege it multiple times during the 2nd Crusade. But no Grail for me...

The Lance of Longinus, that is aquired similarily, I managed to capture from Jerusalem during the 1st Crusade.

What am I missing, guys? Noone else got that Grail before me - I checked the character finder thoroughly.

Here is a script from the crusade_events.txt

# Finds the Holy Grail
# on_siege_won_leader
# FROM = barony won
character_event = {
id = 8342
desc = "EVTDESC8342"
picture = "GFX_evt_siege"
border = GFX_event_normal_frame_war

is_triggered_only = yes
religion = catholic

trigger = {
FROM = { title = b_syrcaesarea }
OR = {
any_war = {
using_cb = crusade
}
any_liege = {
any_war = {
using_cb = crusade
}
}
}
NOT = { has_global_flag = found_the_holy_grail }
}

immediate = {
hidden_tooltip = {
set_global_flag = found_the_holy_grail
}
}

option = {
name = "EVTOPTA8342"
prestige = 200
if = {
limit = { has_dlc = Mystics }

if = {
limit = {
OR = {
has_game_rule = {
name = supernatural_events
value = on
}
has_game_rule = {
name = supernatural_events
value = unrestricted
}
}
}
add_artifact = holy_grail
new_artifact = {
set_creation_date = 1.1.1
}
}
if = {
limit = {
has_game_rule = {
name = supernatural_events
value = off
}
}
add_artifact = holy_chalice
new_artifact = {
set_creation_date = 1.1.1
}
}
}
}
}​

C'mon! Noone is bothered by the crusade events in a game, called "Crusader Kings 2"?

I believe the events fire, but just have a very low chance to occur so that you don't see them every game. As you can see from the is_triggered_only line, these events are triggered from siege actions - which from memory you can find within common\on_actions for what the odds are.

Hail!

I got myself a Holy Grail. And not entirely sure of what i did exactly right, but I managed to get it twice.

Here are the conditions of successful plunder:
- Ceasaria (barony in Acre) was in rhe realm of a lord, whose primary title was a crusade target. In my case Caesaria was a mere holding in my Acre county, whose top liege was a Sultan of Yemen (and Arabia). Crusades for Yemen resulted in successful plunder, but crusades for Arabia were not
- My sieging army was entire retinue, no levies, mercs and orders
- My char was a sole commander in the entire stack
- I stormed the barony (not sieged it)

Hello,

Should I loot or storm Acre and Jerusalem during the crusade to recover the holy grail and the lance of longinus ?

If possible, I would like someone to confirm the procedure for retrieving these artifacts. In 1500 hours of ck2 I never managed to recover the holy grail. Supernatural and absurd events are activated in my session. I play as king of Anatolia in a Byzantine catholic empire. In the departure date 867 of the game. Can I use my own troops or mercenaries ? And do I have to convert to a culture like Nordic to loot ?

You just have to siege the specific barony during a crusade. The crusade doesn't have to be for jerusalem, I got my grail by sieging the relevant province during a crusade for greece.

(I then gave it to china because the +health felt like a bit too much honestly)
