Unable to Continue (I think)

[ctdavids]

[Description of the issue]

I believe I am completely unable to advance due to the culmination of a number of bugs.  I could however be missing something.  I have linked to my savegame file later.

 

At this stage, I've 'completed' every quest except finding the elf.  I say 'completed' due to this bug: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/67573-quest-or-quest-items-bugged-cannot-complete/

 

I have cleared out the temple to the point where I've found the event that refers to a pit and mentions a grappling hook.  There are several doors in the temple that show the locked icon, but which I cannot open (I have the skull key, but I doubt it's supposed to work on them) and I don't get any mechanics too low messages in my combat log for them.

 

I do not have a grappling hook because I bought two at first and when I got the dragon egg, I had BB fighter climb up unsupported and then use one to lower the egg.  However, this removed them both from my inventory.  The store does not have a 3rd one for me to buy.

 

I went to talk to the tanner and confronted him about the ogre.  He attacked me. I killed him.  Again, I cannot open the door in his tower.  It shows the lock symbol, but I don't get a mechanics failure note in my combat log.

 

So, I don't know if I'm missing something or which, if any, of these are bugs (pretty sure the losing both grabbling hooks was a bug, but I also think that I could have validly used two: 1 to climb and 1 to lower, but maybe I'm wrong).

 

[DETAILED list of steps to reproduce the issue AND what to look for]

1) Load the savegame from here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74672307/PoE%20Bugs/Can%27t%20Continue/6b44430218a64d308246d0c575513a74%20TrygilsCurriery%207862707.savegame (link instead of upload because the site won't let you upload savegame files)

2) You're in the tanning shop. Try to open the door (if you're supposed to be able to).

3) Investigate the lack of grappling hooks in town.

4) Go to the temple and try and advance there.r attacks

 

[Expected behaviour]

That I be able to do something...

A link to my output log is here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74672307/PoE%20Bugs/Can%27t%20Continue/output_log.txt

 

Note however that this is the first time I've copied over the log and therefore it contains the entirety of my events for all games unless it clears itself at some point.

Ok, so I found this discussion: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/67170-helpbug-cant-progress-in-ruins-under-statue-spoilers/?hl=grappling

 

It mentioned scouting around the currier's shop to find a key. Which I have now done. A couple notes on this:

1) The key only worked after I moved it to my main character's inventory (resulting in it moving to quest items).  Didn't work in the NPC's slot

2) Did not realize that scouting to find hidden stuff was a thing. I guess I know now and it's probably obvious in the full game. Just hadn't realized it yet.

3) Sounds like even if I had a grappling hook I might not be able to advance based on that other bug report

4) Seems like there may be an issue with picking door locks as I can't pick some locks mentioned in that other report.

With regards to item three, the following could be considered a very small spoiler, so just to be safe I've marked it as such:

 

If you've found the key mentioned above and can use this to get into the tunnels, keep an eye open for another grappling hook down there. Can't remember where it is, but I do remember finding at least one. Just don't use "Take All" to get it - I remember reading somewhere else that this might be causing the bug where you can't use the rope on the items near the chasm. If it works, there are items on both sides of the chasm - although I've tried neither.
