Basically, I pretty much cleared everything I was able to in Neketaka before moving on to anything else, and the next quest chain I started was with the Pincipi.

 

This means I completed Eulogies of the Dead before I ever got the Symbols of Death quest, and have killed Yesyr and read all 3 tablets. I was intercepted by the ghost ship en route to neketaka, but she let me go as I was marked by Berath. However, whilst the quest log for Eulogies of the Dead indicates I read all tablets, the quest log for Symbols of Death indicates that I have read only the first 2, and the door to Yesyr's chamber is still locked. 

 

The high priest of berath is gone now.

 

I have a strong suspicion that this is a bug, but has anyone else been in this situation, and is there any way to progress the quest?

Bump. Still not figured this one out.

Did you really read the tablets out from your inventory? I have the same problem but I only read the information from the reading-glass not the things in the inventory. I'xll try that the next time I play.

 

Btw. How could you kill Yseyr, when the door is still closed?

For me symbols of death was immediately completed while I spoke with Furrante, since I also had completed Eulogy for the dead prior to getting that quest.

Maybe important: I spoke to Yseyr and even managed to take his part of the eulogy without a fight (- before I decided to kill him anyway).

Its just bad design in my view that u have to actively read click on the items for them to be counted as 'read'...pretty sure i havent read the 3rd tablet either actively because there is no need to complete the quest for the priest which u encounter first

To be fair, in the real world possessing a text does not mean having read said text (though it would save so much time).

But, in all seriousness, I also forgot to read one and thought that was a bug. Now I feel silly.

Same here, stuck on something that seem like a cool quest, did exactly like the post said, did everything before and lost the tablet to the priest...

 

If anyone get a solution to this, plz post it here !
