Issue with "The Codex Caper" quest - cannot re-attempt optional quest objectives

indyfan1202 · July 10

I have found a bug that dropping the quest does not fix. While doing the "Grab Extra Rarities" optional step, my timer ran out and I was caught. I wanted to achieve a 'clean run' of this quest, so I abandoned it and picked it back up. However, after re-entering the larder door that Quen unlocks, the quest places me back at the "Escape Confinement" step instead of putting me just inside the larder door. Does this mean I can no longer complete the "Grab Extra Rarities" optional step on this character?

Update - Someone without a forums account saw this post and sent me an in-game whisper saying they had the same thing happen to them and they were able to force a hard reset by abandoning the quest and then logging out for about 20 minutes before logging back in to pick the quest up. Thank you @Chronogon!

You can force a reset by switching between normal and veteran in the Group Dungeon Mode settings. The instance is persisted like certain other ones (dungeons, a bunch of instanced places in Craglorn, etc).
