Maintenance for the week of March 10:
• [COMPLETE] PC/Mac: NA and EU megaservers for patch maintenance – March 10, 4:00AM EDT (8:00 UTC) - 10:00AM EDT (14:00 UTC)
The bug that prevents completion of the exploring the ritual chamber task was reported shortly after release of Galen and still has not been corrected. It would seem that should have been done before the zone was used in a major event.
Also seconding this. I've attempted this quest multiple times only to get stuck at the "investigate the druid ritual chambers" part. Honestly, I'm still rather peeved that this still hasn't been completely fixed.
I can see on the UESP wiki that the druidic carvings in the ritual chambers are supposed to be glowing, but they don't glow for me and the NPC just stands there looking at the carvings (after I read the note in the other room of course).
It's bugged for me too, in the exact same place as OP. Stuck on the "explore ritual chambers" phase of the quest, after interacting with the 2 documents. Really frustrating.
This is the second time I have attempted to complete 'The Sea Runs Restless' quest but it is still bugged. I cannot get further than the Druid ritual chamber, because after I've found the clues and read them the ritual stone doesn't light up, or do anything at all - it's so frustrating! Someone said it has to do with having another Quen quest going but I'm not doing any other Quen quest. I've done everything I can think of to solve the problem and just wish the technicians would get it sorted out once and for all. It's been buggy for quite long enough!
We are aware of an issue the prevents players from examining the Druidic carvings during "The Sea Runs Restless" quest. This will be resolved in a future update.
