Eulogy for the Dead entrance bug

[Defius]

I started the quest Eylogy of the dead and open the entrance to the catacombs.After exploring the tomb and getting one tablet I went outside to the high priest of berath assuming that I need only one tablet. Now when I go to enter agian the catacombs the door is closed and it triggers a cutscene where  i must use the Eel's Coil  to open it again without having that option to do it. I am stuck and cant enter the catacombs.Must I charge the Eel's Coil to have the berath's  blessing somewhere or is it a bug.

Same problem happened to me. Left Hanging Sepulchers after short exploration to come back when I level up some more. Now door is closed again and it is not possible to open them despite I still have Eel's Coil (which originally opened the door). Seems like a bug to me.

Hail friends!

 

Apologies about the bug and thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will forward this information to our QA team so they can investigate the issue. Do either of you happen to have a save file we can use and an output log? 

 

Thanks!

Good news, friends (I hope): Let's just say that you can enter those catacombs without the coil. I did - just pass a scripted interaction down on the very cliffside at the far left.

I have another bug. I have both the tablets, but cant properly interact with the second skeleton to open the door. It says inspect skeleton and leave, but I cant read the eulogy and thus open the door. This is the second major quest bug I have come across after I am unable to finish the Trade Secrets quest without lying to the Huana prince (no option to actually tell him about the smuggler operation anymore! ) But yes, I too went out, through that cave since I thought it was part of the complex, so the bug might have to do with leaving the dungeon. In any case, I feel so many quest bugs are kind of game breaking and won`t play the game again before it is patched.

@Magnukra: I thought that was a bug as well, but after having gone up to check all the NPCs and convos upstairs and then back in again, where I checked that catacomb level harder (there are lots of secret nooks and crannies - don't forget to read all books, scrolls, letters, and even tablets you find (don't just pick stuff up - this is at times a game for reading as well), then that skeleton worked just like it should.

Uploaded a save file with the bug.

But I have both tablets, did the quest in order and only one of the skeletons work. I may not have high enough perception to find all the secret stuff, but that should hardly break the quest, should it? Interacting with one of the skeletons was fine, then I didnt find the second tablet, went through the cave and climbed up, checked a walktrhough, went downstairs again and found the tablet I was missing. But as I said, the second skeleton gives me no option and I am stuck. I truly love this game, but it does have a few quest bugs that I truly hope they fix.

If this is not a bug, then please tell me what on earth is wrong. Regards, Magnus

I had both tablets too, but the female skellie to the right refused to work. And after some searching down south, I realized that you have to activate her story, otherwise she won't accept the tablet.

Embarassingly, as it was tens of hours of playtime ago, I don't recall the details - but I found something I had missed and read it. Then I went back to her skeleton with the tablet, and everything just worked fine (i.e., the door opened). Sorry that I don't have the specifics, but the stuff you need to do is there (and my best Perception in my party was 12).

I see, I am in another place in the game now, but I have read all the books I have available. Hopefully someone else can answer this. WIth me, its the skeleton to the right that I can`t activate. I did assume this was a bug, but hope you are right.

I rummaged through my saves, and luckiy I had one right before I opened the door, and after my thinking it was a bug and my revisit to the Berath temple.

This meant that I could redo the quest just for you!

 

You have to find the two stone tablets, but not only that!

 

If you read my quest log below, you'll see that when I've right-clicked the stone tablets in my inventory (==having read them!), the game acknowledges this, and the quest is updated:

 

Then you can make the female skellie to the right interactive, and via her dialogue:

 

Hey presto, the huge door opens:
