Can't reach those darn chests in Morvunskar!

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 9:43 am

During the 'A Night to Remember' quest when you have to go through the portal in Morvunskar to get the staff, there is a room underneath the platform where the portal is located. In this room is a couple of chests which are unreachable because the limits of the portal above extend into this room. The portal is not activated like a door, but instead you enter it in the same way you enter a cave by just approaching it whilst the name comes up on screen. So basically there is no way for me to reach those chests as I'm constantly being transported through the portal above. And if I enter the portal after completing the 'A Night to Remember' quest there is no way of returning back to the world and I have to reload.

I can't quite work out what is going wrong here. Either the portal is supposed to vanish after you complete the quest, so you can reach those two chests. Or the portal is supposed to remain after completing the quest (with access out of the grove through Sanguine), but the limits of the portal entrance are incorrect meaning you can enter the portal from the room below and therefore not gain access to those two chests. Also Sanguine is found outside the portal after the quest has finished staring at the wall not doing anything, which just feels really out of place and I get the feeling he shouldn't still be there.

Yeah. Been there and found that.

Some slight SPOILERS below. Be warned.........

Underneath the platform where the portal opens is a small room, accessed from the left hand side on the ground floor. This small room has chests at the far end.

The problem is that physically these chests sit directly under where the Portal spawns. And once it's active there's no way of getting AT those chesats, because the trigger point for the portal, even though it's on a platform ABOVE you, drags you through the portal before you can get at the chests...

I know, it's a minor bug really. But a little annoying.

If you can get at the chests BEFORE the portal opens, or by visiting this location before starting A Night to Remember, I'm sure you'll be able to get at them. But otherwise it's a no go.

You CAN get the 2 chest, just takes a little patience lol.. Save your game before you attempt to open the two chest, and move in super super slowly, you can actually open the chest before you enter the portal. BTW your post has a spoiler >.< you should probably warn people.

I never came across this part. I completed it already but no portal or chests.

Then you can't have completed it. The portal leads to the end of the quest.
