[BUG] Will of the Council (lvl43)

Thoronax

I encountered a bug during the last warrior guild quest.
After I decided to keep Sees all Colors alive and the fight with Aelif started, one of the portals is impossible to close. It's the portal that was guarded by the big Ogre monster. The other 2 portals, the one guarded by the Snake and the one by the Eye seem to be closed.

Quest wont progress now.

I tried abandoning the quest. But that doesnt help as when I do the quest again, after smithing the weapon and entering the portal I'm back in the old instance of my first time going through the area and everything is already dead and I'm again stuck with a portal that is impossible to close.

The devices to close the portals became clickable after killing the named monster guarding it. But this did not happen for the portal I mentioned.

Thoronax

Tried it again, and the quest area had reset.
Now I was able to close all 3 portals.

Quest completed.

so if this happens to anyone else. wait a while, about 30 minutes or so and try the quest again.

Does this quest still give the Prismatic Weapon as a reward for siding with Aelif? Or is there a different reward?

When you tried it again, you had to kill the other 2 and close those 2 portals again though, didn't you? Did you have to abandon the quest and then wait 30 minutes? Or can I keep it in my journal? Also, did you leave the area or sit in the room for 30 minutes?

I'm experiencing this as well, and frankly, I'm not very good solo. I still died once against the doshia-like boss as a squishy healer that's 6 levels higher than the instance, and I'd really rather not fight it again, if I can help it. Especially since Merric doesn't seem to help unless the enemies attack him at the center, and even then he sometimes doesn't. I wish I could use NPC's like a tank when these kinds of situations come up.

_________________________________________

I killed the snake lady first (shut down her blood font), then the floating eyeball tentacle (then shut down his blood font), and then the ogre. The blood font behind him was not glowing nor could it be interacted with. Enemies just kept spawning out of the portal and Aelif's voice would continue to talk.

So I hid behind a pillar and relogged. All three quest markers are showing in my compass again, but the two blood fonts/portals that I destroyed remained destroyed and the third one remained non-interactable and that portal continues to send out baddies.

Again, I REALLY don't want to have to do this a second time...

_________________________________________

So I ended up sneaking back behind that pillar and logging out into my character screen for a good while (probably 20-30 minutes while doing other stuff). When I logged back in, the quest reset back to the portal which I had to re-enter, explore the tunnel, condemn/reveal Aelif, and kill those mini-bosses again.

This time, I killed them in a different order. Snake-*** (destroy blood font), Ogre (destroy blood font), and then tentacle-eye (destroy blood font).

I was able to complete the remainder of the fighter's guild quest and receive my achievement, bug-free after that. Best of luck to you, future Fighter's Guild Victors

I had the same problem. I could close 2 of the 3 portals but couldn't interact with the third. Left and came back about an hour later and the whole thing had reset but I was able to complete it the second time. I also tried relogging at the time it happened but that didn't work.

rkseverance

Yeah, pretty frustrating to have to trick a game you spent $80 on into working every other quest.

Avaery

Ran into it today. Bugged on the snake lady, the other two worked fine. I pulled the boss away from the portal, because your ally NPCs dont do jack unless in agro range, and then couldn't close the portal.

Gonna try it tomorrow to see if the quest resets. Relogging didn't do anything.

Avaery

^update: It worked second play through when the instance reset. I killed all three bosses near the pylon so it would close properly.

Gurleegurl

I am stuck on confront sees-all-colors. I kill everyone and everything but the quest won't progress pass confronting sees-all-colors.

arwyna

I m in the same way, I killed the dragon 3 times, i m fed up

Sargul_Wou

Seriously, I've run through a lot of bugged quests and reported everyone. I've never received feedback for my tickets or on the forums.

Same for this quest. Restarted twice - same *** every time.

Killed Aelif and quest get's stuck.

jarrodanderson

I am bugged after saving Sees All Colors and Killing Aelif's Dragon. Can talk to Sees All Colors but she simply repeats what she said before and doesn't give me a quest completion. Has been going on for 2 weeks. Cannot complete the mission.

Evergnar

Sounds like it's just flat out bugged but couple suggestions:

Does the interactable have a quest marker above it? Can you interact with it but it just does nothing? Or does it just seem like you can't interact with it all? If the latter some of these I had really hard time with in this room. I had to get facing at just the perfect angle and distance from them to work. Also try to point above and below it and make sure your in full 1st or 3rd person and not in between.

@ jarrodanderson After killing Aleif where does it get stuck? Can you talk to Jofnir? Is he there?

jarrodanderson

I can talk to merric (who does not have a quest arrow) and i can talk to sees all colors (who has an arrow above). Merric says "confrount sees all colors, maybe we can save her," and when I talk to sees all colors she says the same thing she did when i started the final battle and then becomes non-interactable.

jarrodanderson

It finally worked. In the second hallway of the quest, you have to wait for Aelif to enter the door ahead of you and wait like 30 seconds or the quest bugs.
