I've accidentally bugged "The Walking Darkness" near the end of quest, I need help :(

So I was near the end (I think) of The Walking Darkness quest in Bangkorai when a friend said he was trying to get to me, I went outside thinking that I'd more or less done with the NPCs but it's locked me out of the church where I was supposed to wait and watch the NPCs do something/say something/whatever. Now I don't know what to do. I've re-logged but it's not working and the option to walk into the church is greyed out so I can't get back in.

Is there a fix to this? I really don't want to abandon and re-do it as this one took me AGES, those skeletons can be a bit brutal...

Please say someone else out there knows how to fix?

I appreciate any responses... :)

    Not sure what to suggest... did you kill the end-quest boss? If so, all that remains is the wrap-up scene which should play out no matter where you are.
    What you could try is logging off for fifteen minutes to allow the area to soft-reset, but if that doesn't work, I think the only option would be to abandon the quest and start it over...

    I haven't killed the end boss as far as I know. I'm heading back there later to see if it's fixed but I doubt it. I sent a bug report but didn't get any feedback or notification if they had a fix or whatever. I really don't want to abandon this, it was a pain to do. I died numerous times.

    What's your current objective on the quest? We may be able to work something out from that, but I think it's unlikely. There's a three-step process to fixing a bugged quest, with abandoning it being the final phase.
    1. /reloadui - if the door prompt is not working, maybe it's literally the prompt in the UI that's broken
    2. Log off for fifteen minutes - as above, this causes the area to soft-reset. But because a quest is still in progress, it won't soft-reset the area completely.
    3. Abandon the quest - this resets the components of the quest. You may also want to log off for fifteen minutes after abandoning to allow the area to do a soft-reset as well.

    I abandoned the quest. Now I can't remember where I got it. LOL

    There are several quests in the game where if you leave early, getting back in is a pain. However there is almost always another door besides the main door you initially went into to get back into the quest. For example, I ran out of bag space in Camlorn and left, but I had to go the long way around the fort to get back into the city.

    Anyway, talk to the NPC outside the graveyard to get the quest again

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
