BUG - Our Dreams Divide Us Still - STUCK

[mebrowndfw]

I defeated Inquisitor Lodwyn and the Dreamthralls but I can't get off of Mt. Forja Summit. The door is blocked. I am also unable to fast travel and I have even tried hopping down the mountain (major fail).

I have already reached out to support but I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue and maybe found a workaround.

 

Thanks!

Big patch today so I was quite hopeful...  but, alas, no.  Still can't progress. 

[Steve Barton]

Same exact thing happened to me.

I just got this response from support:

 

”Thanks for sending in those additional screenshots and information. Our team is aware of this issue, and they are working on a solution. Unfortunately, I don't have a timeline for when it will be resolved.”

 

So at least they are aware of it and are working to fix it.  It’s a bummer that I can’t really do anything in the meantime but at least it’s something. 

[Steve Barton]

That’s great. I reported it too but haven’t even gotten a response. I love obsidian but this is super annoying. It’s been a week now.

same here since yesterday (after last patch)

So what I did was go back to before I fought Lodwyn. Once I did that I chose my choices again and fought all the dreamthralls before ever killing Lodwyn. It put me through the quest. I hope this helps!

I tried this and still cannot progress. It will not let Maris confront me about the decision

Not sure what the bug was that was fixed in the last patch (Only got here after the patch.) I have a problem where I walk down the path, trigger the cutscene, and after that cutscene, one dreamthrall burster rushes us while Lodwyn kills an armored person. It feels like its already bugged in this state, as if I should have a bigger fight there.

But I kill my target, and Lodwyn tells me to not be shy, and come talk to her. If I do, she is standing there in her battle-pose, and I can even push her around. She wont talk to me at all.

If I save then and jump off a cliff, it will trigger the dialogue with Lodwyn. I have to kill myself, quicksave and quickload is not enough. One thing I notice is after triggering the cutscene, the armored guy she killed gets turned into a placed "body chest" not a dead body with loot (I can tell cause it makes the shimmer sound.)

During the fight, Lodwyn is lobotomized, she is not aggressive at all, and stands still for most of the fight, occasionally she will throw a fireball or summon a shade, but only very rarely attacks me with her sword, she does execute her combo in this case. She seems to loose tracking of me regularly. (perhaps an issue with the map changes from the mushroom growths?)

If I go really hard to kill her, I get only one round of adds, and after her death she just dies. Killing all the dreamscourge then leaves me with the "Defeat Inquisitor Lodwyn and the Steel Garrote Dreamthralls" objective, but it will not progress. If I take it very slow, I can get two additional waves of Thralls. I get some chatter from my allies for each wave, "More dreamthralls!" and "I think they are coming from the camp." The dreamthrall spawning seems very close to me as well, and they just pop in, with no entering animation. If I go slow and get all the waves, the same result, the quest does not progress a step.

The whole fight gives off very clear "this is not working right," vibes the whole way through.

After I am stuck with the objective not completing, it does not matter what I do. I can save and reload, save and jump off a cliff, stand around for a very long time... I am just stuck.

I get the impression that Lodwyn is not supposed to die, or not "just die" without first talking to me or something. In my game she acts like any other mob... And in fact, I almost always turn her to dust (my build tends to do that to people.) She always drops the same loot, including bespoke coin piles, which I have never seen before, so her loot table seems to be working?

Either way, this bug prevents progress on my game save. I have a manual save from just before entering the summit, so hopefully this gets fixed in a future patch.

I'm having the same issue. No matter how slow or quick I kill everything the game will not progress. It's almost like there are a few dreamthralls stuck where they can't be reached 

[LadyAeval]

This is also happening to me...

[A842_b]

I am having this problem as well. I defeat Lodwyn and then there's no cutscene, no open path, and the objective stays stuck on "defeat lodwyn and the steel garrote..." with that little gray circle on the map. 

I've tried going back through my saves - older and older ones, trying to see if I can trigger the story to continue, but it seems to be totally broken. I can't progress at all. 

[ttv.miriergames]

I restarted the Tusks storyline, and completed Marius' companion quest this time before facing Lodwyn. It let the quest proceed as it is suppose to. First time I just played main story and found the big.

[mebrowndfw]

Yeah, I logged in after the last patch and the Mount was repopulated.  I killed everyone and was able to progress.  Finally.

[Rubaduubb]

Exactly same problem for me. I'm disheartened to see that the patch notes state this exact issue is resolved when clearly it isn't. Definitely has knocked the wind out of my sail not being able to progress. And I'm certainly not going to revert to a save that would lose me 8+hrs of gameplay...

 

Will Obsidian see these posts? Are they still working on this as I know their official response was from some time ago...

I just want to finish the game  

[thomasdhaz95]

I'm having this problem too. I've tried everything. Been enjoying the game so much and this has just really annoyed me 

[ttv.miriergames]

I restarted the Tusks storyline from an earlier save. Instead of just jumping into the main story I worked on side missions until I was able to complete Marius' story. After that I ran the Dreams Still Divide, and it progressed with no more issues.

[stumblarcana]

What worked for me (after a few hours of trial and error).

After the cutscene of Lödwyn monologuing and the eruption, if she stays frozen and you can push her around, make a save (hard save, not a quicksave) and then jump off the cliff. 

After the battle, if the quest doesnt ‘end’, go to the southernmost outcropping of the mountain, where you would find the Arrows of Slaying (?) for the Galawain Totem and a chest. If you use the ‘Severed Branch’ ability or some speed-increasing item, you can just barely manage to leap to the scaffolding on the other side and leave the ‘No Fast Travel’ area.

Then you just fast travel to the Quarry Beacon and the quest should continue as normal! 

[Ohsochill]

Ran into this issue. I would love to go back to where I didn't enter this mission and did the side missions to see if that worked but none of my autosaves in the Tusks are prior to the mission and I refuse to go back to the point of no return save in shatterscarp....This sucks.

The patch today (3-27-25) fixed my issue.

Lodwyn still seemed brain-dead though.
