Ancestral Adversity

    Abandoned the quest (in Quest Journal). Found the Quest Giver Elfbetta the Shy (personal assistant to Narsis Dren) at a camp just outside of the Dreloth Ancestral Tomb entrance (east side of zone). Finishing Dreloth directs you to Veloth (west side of zone); check-in with Elfbetta just outside that entrance. As per the advice above, WAIT to speak with Narsis at each point along the way, especially the last part around the treasure vault (it seems like he has disappeared; just wait 5-10 seconds and he appears). Do not go through that last door until you talk with him; you'll know you're in the crucial conversation when you get to the point where you have to choose between two red responses. I just chose one; I don't think it matters which you choose. It works. Outside, Narsis tells you that Elfbetta will give you your reward.

    Patch 3.0.5 fixed one bug in this quest but not this particular issue. Can confirm I'm still stuck at the exit in the Veloth tomb.

    Like stated, wait for the NPC and don't rush through it...

    Sometimes Dreth doesn't appear though, sometimes he just gets stuck outside the room and turns invisible. That's what happened on my second run through. In that case logging out and in again then running through the room and back towards the exit caused him to finally appear.

    Yeah I gave up after abandoning it twice. First time cause I didn't go through the door fast enough and copped an invisible wall. The second time I wasn't paying attention and went through a door which took me to the start of the tomb and I could no longer get back.

    It's stupid AF

    Aye yi yi, this quest is a mess!!! Issues with the floor panel puzzle not triggering properly or an invisible wall blocking the way once the gate does open, which if you manage to get past that you end up with the treasure vault glitch that sends you back to the entrance repeatedly with no way to actually finish the quest =( It's a constant, frustrating loop. Logging out/in doesn't help, waiting for there to be no other players around just in case it's overloading the quest doesn't work, and abandoning the quest means you have to go all the way back to Drelothi vault to pick it back up again (and in essence repeating every single step)

    Yep, I'm stuck too. Amazing how broken this one quest is. I was also having issues with the floor puzzle not responding and Narsis Dren randomly vanishing.

    I'm glad I'm not alone. I did run though the door ahead of that s'wit Narsis so that may be the problem. This quest seems very sensitive to talking to Narsis. I, too got stuck in the puzzle room unable to complete it. I no longer have the map either. I will try deleteing and see if I can find Narsis again. I originally got the quest finding the orc at Veloth who pointed me to the Dreloth tomb in Sadrith Mora. If not, well, I'm glad I'm not a completionist but it is still irksome.

    An update: I abandoned the quest then logged out (after putting in a help notice). I came back later at Veloth and the Orc was there to send me to Dreloth where I could start again. I finished the quest by carefully talking to Narsis on all topics and waiting for him to do everything. I got in trouble the first time by running ahead while he was still gaga over the gold skull and then not waiting for him to stop cowering after the Matriarch. I finished and expressed my displeasure by pushing the s'wit in the well and leaving him there. I still got paid.

    I finished this without a problem, must have been lucky. However, I did have a problem with the initial quest giver in a spot patrolled by two Kagouti (had to kill them first).

    Two questions:

    1. Has anyone that encountered this bug deleted the quest and started over? I can't remember how many steps there were to get to this stage so I have been avoiding that option.

    2. Has anyone that encountered this bug managed to progress? If so please illuminate us.

    I did and no it didn't help. I will wait to see if they say something before trying again.

    Abandon the quest, find the quest giver, and restart it.

    This does not help as when you pick it back up it puts you at what ever completion you were previously in the quest and can't get to this narsis guy.

    Yah, I gave up, restarted it, and managed to finish it fine. Which is unfortunate as it is a relatively long quest to get to that point.

    Same as above. I beat the Matriarch and proceeded normally. Wound up at the beginning and cannot return because the wall is closed up behind where the gold skull used to be.

    This occurred on 8/19/2017. I submitted an in-game bug report.

    I'm on PC.

    Still bugged. I did get separated from Narsis at one point....not sure but that may have caused the glitch. I completed the tiles puzzle and watched the door open for me...but I can't enter the room. Andf Narsis is standing away from the door seeming to be inactive. He never responded to the door opening.
