The Shadow Under Neketaka - Can't Proceed

[karlnp]

Description:

During the quest "The Shadow Under Neketaka", in the final confrontation, there are warding stones that you can interact with as part of the setpiece.

After being unable to modify the enchantment with Metaphysics, I chose to strengthen the wards instead, triggering a fight.

 

After the fight, the dragon is subdued and your character says "I'll take another look at the wards." However, during the fight, the wards provide a shield against the water tentacles the dragon summons, and after taking damage all the wardstones explode.

 

As a result, I am unable to progress in the game, since I cannot resolve the dragon's situation and leaving the guild results in a bad end to the quest.

Steps to Reproduce:
* Strengthen the wards twice, triggering the fight
* During the fight, hide under the protection of the wards, causing them to be destroyed

* Afterwards, push 'show interactions' hotkey, demonstrating that there are no wardstones left to use

Output Log:
Restarted the game before I read this bug support guide

Encountering the same issue, even after managing to defeat the dragon faster than the water whips could kill the wards. Attempting to strengthen the wards again results in the Dragon turning hostile AGAIN restarting the fight then the water whips destroy the wards.
