Old Orsinium - locked out forever?

stewg73 · November 2022

Hi Guys. I completed old orsinium no problem, but when I've gone back to farm the ancient orc motif, I am treated as if I have never done the quest as I reached the interior door (the hammer's bypass first puzzle) and when I try to enter am greeted with "you can't use that door right now" but the quest icons aren't present over the tiles to activate.....

Hmmm, OK I guess I can go back and redo the quest, except, I can't because I've already done it and Nashruth (quest giver) is dead as a dod at the entrance.

Obviously a bug, as I have no way of ever getting back into the dungeon with this character. My journal has no wrothgar quests active.

Is anyone aware of this bug and a fix for it?

im not sure how would resolve your quest situation if you already completed it

but ive "gotten around" the locked doors by grouping with someone else who has completed the quest and it allows all group members to go through the door even if you yourself havent done the quest (or it might work for your case where something might be bugged)

Hello!

I appear to have this same bug - dead Nashruth and cannot access the interior.

Hopefully @ZOS_GinaBruno can shed some light on this issue because it must be broken code.

Did you report it in-game? That would help the developers track it down, as the bug report would have the current character’s details at the time of the issue.

I'm here now and I'm experiencing the same issue. I was hoping to try chests for a ring.

I opened a ticket but didn't hear back. I'm okay for now not worrying about it since it's just an alt and I have enough skill points (plus seemingly credited with the skill point now after the ticket on Urich's skill point finder so i'll live).

The char is from 2017 so who knows what they've done/not done - I think the best thing is simply to open tickets if you get this bug and eventually it might be fixed (or at least they'll try to help you).

I opened one too but haven't received a response either. There's another thread about this issue under the "Bugs" category of this forum. I'm trying to get my Briarheart pieces

vsrs_au · November 2022

I just found the same

This was one of my favourite dungeons, I hope they respond to the ticket.

Please put this in bug section and report in game with /bug

I had the same issue, I was in a group when I first visited this dungeon and completed the quest. Later I realized I missed the museum piece and I couldn’t get back in the door again, though the quest was already completed.

Ended up standing outside the door begging people nearby to group me just to get in. Probably won’t ever bother again. I reported it as a bug. That was a few weeks ago and never heard back.

Greetings,

This thread has been moved to the Bug Reports section, as it is better suited there.

Thank you for your understanding.

Can we get an acknowledgement that this is an issue? Crow's Wood was fixed in last night's patch, but I haven't seen any acknowledgement from devs about the issue with Old Orsinium.
When I googled the issue, I saw posts about the same thing from 2 years ago. Can we get a fix already? With 2/3 of the dungeon blocked, we can't really get that antiquity lead can we?

bellablithely · December 2022

Any update on when this will be fixed?

the antiquity lead can come from anything in the dungeon, and there is at least 1 boss and several mobs in that first section, but its still not the best place in the public dungeon to really farm lol

I also can't enter - I was there about one or two months ago with all my 4 characters to farm the lead for the Anvil of Old Orsinium. I had no problems then, but now I'm locked out.

I believe, but am not certain, that if you kill the bosses- beginning with the Spider outside, then the 3, then the Wispmother? Y'all may be able to get through that door. Might need to do the 3 Orcs inside, as well.

Might want to test these, see which one triggers a "bug fix"? Because I had that problem myself- forgot about it, then when I went back, farming for forge lead- killing bosses along the way? I got through, no problem.

This was awhile ago.. but I believe this solved my issue. Hope it helps

There's only 1 boss outside that door (that none of us who did the dungeon quest a while ago can enter), and that's the spider boss. I just went there again, killed the spider boss, and still can't enter that door. I wish ZOS would at least let us know they're planning to fix it. We've tagged various ZOS people in this thread, but no acknowledgement yet.

I might be wrong, but I'm thinking they meant to say kill all of the enemies in the outer area-- as though you're doing the quest all over again, even though you've already done it? I'll have to try that and see if it helps.

Oh, and I think Gina may have mentioned that there's a fix being worked on, during one of the recent ESO Live streams-- IIRC, it was at the beginning of the stream, before they got into the actual scheduled stream content (cooking? Tales of Tribute? talking about the music? I'm not sure which stream it was), when Gina said she wanted to make some quick announcements before they began, or something like that. One of the announcements was about "the block bug," but IIRC she also mentioned Old Orsinium.

Yes, I tried that also, killing all the outdoors enemies including the spider boss, but still couldn't open that door. I hope you're right about a fix pending.

endgamesmug · January 2023

Im getting that too now on a new account all i need is to get the last relic from old orsinium and im done, but it says "cannot use right now".

Arbol · January 2023

Just adding my experience. I'm on a toon that has completed the dungeon and all its quests. Went back to grind for the forge, and yep, can't open the door. I turned off all add-ons, and dismissed my companion, but still no luck. The plates don't work, of course. No wonder I'm the only person in the dungeon. I reported a bug.

dragonlord500 · January 2023

@ZOS_Kevin Old Orsinum is still bugged after so many months. please forward it to the developers already.

The3sFinest · January 2023

Just discovered I have this same issue. Wanted to get the Anvil furnishing. My character completed the dungeon in 2018.

stewg73 · February 2023

Now we know why the ancient orc motifs are so pricey in guild stores - no-one can get in to farm them!

Still broken, filed in-game bug report.

Thank you @Skvysh !
That sheds some light on the issue and also after reading that update... holy heck
