Character Unable to Progress

[Shoobie]

I appreciate your trying to help, but Just to be clear, your suggestions are beside the point that the GMs aren't helping me get around a bug that is preventing my character from progressing in the game in the main story quest. I have died about 15 times now trying to get there, and five times trying to sneak there as you have suggested. The lindwurm, pugot, waterdog all seem to agro on site. This area is inaccessible to anyone, even level 50s, and there is only one narrow pathway to access it. It is clear that this area was designed to be impossible to access. The quest marker location is x:10, y:28 in Black Shroud, near Crimson Bark.

Oh yeah, there's no way you'll get back there, and there's no reason the quest should send you there. Try googling the quest for a walkthrough that tells you where you should go next. And we ALL completely understand your issue with GMs, but the point is that you may very well be able to complete the mission without GM intervention. Ignore that quest marker and try to find out where to go next.

Near the end of the cut scene, right before I crashed, it teleported me back to Gridania. The quest lost my progress up to the point of the quest marker. According to the walkthrough, I am finished with the quest. In my journal, I have the entire quest log identical to the walkthrough, and I have completed all the tasks that the walkthrough mentions.

Have you tried talking to the NPC that started the last part of the quest where your game crashed? It might have you redo that part, and I've had that happen before. Beyond that, I've offered all the advice I can. Good luck.

I did think of that before, and tried talking to the last NPC I remembered speaking to, but it turns out you're right, there was one NPC closer to the end I forgot about. I talked to him, and the quest is now finished. Two bugs still remain that the journal did not update with the proper map marker, and that crashing caused me to lose the progress in the cut scene.

On the plus side, you've gotten a bunch of practice for when/if you go for the Achievement for reaching all Aetherytes. Lichenweed is one of the hardest ones to reach. It took me well over a dozen serious, stealthy attempts.

Glad you got it sorted out. These kinds of bugs seem to be rare, so hopefully you won't run into any more and can enjoy the game. Good luck!

Waterdogs do not aggro by site. Sound only.

Many players have been through that exact path on aetheryte hunts.

Idk if a GM can help you. They're not allowed to move players except if your stuck in the games geometry nor can they interfere with the mobs pathing in order to allow players to pass those mobs.

I know you're upset but many players have been in your shoes but for a different reason: obtaining aetherytes.

Maybe SE can reset your quest data, but idk because i think the data is mainly client side. Could be wrong though.
