The Soul-Meld Mage Quest Bugged

Chrionz · June 2016

During this quest in Coldharbor, when you are asked to find the corrupted blood which is in the experimental chamber. First the quest icon asks you to go back through the rubble, which you turn into the monkey, but you can't. The quest marker only goes to the correct door when you go near it. Then when you go to the door for the chamber, after loading, you're stuck inside the door. No matter how many times you leave then re-enter it, your stuck in there as if the spawn in coordinates are inside the door. It's not just me being another player was having the same issue as me at the same time.

Hi @Chrionz! This is a bug we're aware of and have a fix for. The fix will be going into next week's incremental patch on PC and Mac.

How in God's name is content which was in the original release and is part of the critical path through the game is still broken TWO YEAR LATER?

Next Week? so never mind people who are stuck there now I guess. Well back to normal steam games for another year while I ignore this game I guess. Maybe then finally bugs like this will be solved probably not though knowing Zenimax

Patches roll out once a week. The only time they do an emergency patch is for game-breaking exploits or feature malfunctions (like the missing inventory items). Bugged quests, while they may block progress, do not affect the general functionality of the game, as you can still go and do other things perfectly well.

Not still broken, broken again. Completely different concept. It is very easy for things that have been fixed to break again, and the root cause is likely slightly different even if the end effect appears the same.

when you reach level 50 you can just travel to the silver and gold zones and do that quest later. not ideal but not that critical either.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom
Any chance a GM can unstuck a character that has this issue? I wrote a ticket ingame but now I'm not sure whether I'll wait for hours just to be told that I'm out of luck and have to wait for a week for continuing here

But will I be able to still get the Meridia's Lightbearer achievement?
