I tried to search, but only found “old” bugs related to this quest. None that seemed to be filed for the .9 MP patch.
Playing with another player, and we each got one piece to “activate” one side of the bridge. We both had quest blinking circles to complete the quest, but it would not complete. Tried to zone back and forth to ‘reset’ an event/state, which also did nothing.
The fix was the leave the party and go back to my own instance to complete the quest, and unlock the bridge in Lotus Halls ( Ruined Era ).
I can only assume that our party did not register us both as having the two items needed until I left the group. This reset my character as being flagged with the two needed items.
Had this happen in Last Epoch co-op as well. And I had the quest “The Ruined Temple” but my friend didnt. After we went through the first portal/shard thing.
We tried your method of disbanding the party but he was already in the new area and couldn’t go back to the start. Its silly that he couldn’t way point all the way at the begining of the game either so he can try the instance by himself. Unless there is a way to do that. Seems like it could be fixed by being able to teleport back to the first town.
After further checking, it looks like i had a completely different issue. It seems like, I was on my friends party who was lvl 28 and on that quest. For some reason, his quest was showing up for me. But then my other friend didnt have it showing up for him.
I think The Ruined Temple quest is not meant to appear on low level characters we were both lvl 8 and my friend was lvl 28. So, I don’t think there was a glitch at all on my end.
To make sure I understand, did a Level 28 Character join your party and your zone while you were in the very early game and this caused your Quest Objectives to update to show the Level 28 Character’s quests?
Sorry for the late response, but yes this is what happened. It was a little confusing, unfortunately I didnt take a screenshot at the time cause it looked fine for me. But it looked problematic for my friend.
Scenario, I started playing for the first time. played a little bit then my friend joined my party (lvl 28), I got to like lvl 8. my 3rd friend created a new account and started playing. We joined his party. So in our party we have a lvl 28, lvl 8, and lvl 1. When we got to the first major checkpoint, where we touched the crystal and transported to the next area; I had a quest showing “The Ruined Temple”, it was telling me to go basically to the “Sanctum Bastille”. I believe we were just at the Ulatri Cliffs. My 3rd friend who started later, wanted to do a quest check and he didnt have that quest showing up. But Both my lvl 28 friend and I did. So my 3rd friend thought he was bugged cause he didn’t touch the crystal and I did. So I thought it could be fixed by teleporting back to the start of the game and then re-doing the first boss fight to touch the crystal. But that wasn’t the option and that was my early complaint on the post. After him doing research he realized that quest doesn’t actually show up until later. For me, even though the quest was appearing earlier than intended, I had no issues with the campaign at all.
The question about the both players attempting to activate the bridge, I was the one who touched it and we all were transported to the Ulatri Cliffs I believe.
Let me know if you have other questions. But hope this helps in troubleshooting.
This bug just happened to me and my friends. We’ve tried everything to fix the bug and can’t. We just cant clikc on the pedestals to summon the bridge. It seems to have bricked our run…
Gotcha, I’ll pass this along as ideally a Player that’s later on in the campaign joining others shouldn’t affect Quest States. I imagine there’s something strangely unique about this quest or quests similar to it that’s causing this. Thanks for the update!
@HybridLyte - Figured I’d contribute here as well. Have an extremely similar bug playing offline solo.
To reproduce:
Access first broken part switch, where it opens a gate to the old era.
Enter old era, but TP back to hub
Return through Portal, to find that the ‘switch’ in the old era is no longer an actionable icon
Return to menu
Log back into character, and proceed through Ruined Temple again to the first broken item
Head back through the gate to the old era, and the icon for the quest part will be actionable. This will trigger the quest to register two parts as having been received, and immediately forward the quest to the ‘fix the two bridge switches’ objective.
Progress to the bridge triggers, where both will be doing the ring highlighting UI feature, but only one will appear actionable. Neither will be clickable, and you cannot progress further.
Logging out, shutting the game, doesn’t matter. You can no longer proceed past this point. Both bridge controls will remain inoperable and the quest still registers as ‘return the two parts to the bridge’. Basically it’s a total block on progression.
In short, seems like there is a bug in the trigger for the bridge parts that will double register a part being collected via one state path, but does not register it fully for the necessary completion states to progress. Appears that is able to be hit via a few different vectors which renders the quest unable to be completed.
A very similar sequence of events led to me being blocked as well.
Appeared to be stuck in the old era, so I teleported back to the hub. Not sure if I had obtained quest component before doing so. Didn’t log out before teleporting back again to Ruined Temple - question objectives were both pointing towards bridge. End result is the same. Can’t proceed.
@Sockeye1@timo-su I had this same issue and was worried I was going to have to restart my character but if you ignore the quest telling you to go to the bridge and just go to the second shard then the bridge will become unblocked.
To reproduce:
go to western shard and enter old era.
tp back to town while in old era.
tp back to shard at this point the switch is no longer usable.
restarted the game and went to the western shard once more.
At this point the quest told me to go back to the bridge and repair it but nothing happened at the bridge.
The fix:
ignore the quest telling you to go the bridge.
Head to the shard that was not collected in my case the eastern one.
at this point I was able to interact with the other switch and head back to the bridge and it allowed me to repair the bridge and continue my progress.
Hope this helps with anyone else having this issue.
