So I've read a lot that The Thorn is glitched; however, that was after I entered and am now unfortunately stuck in an endless loop. I entered a fight in The Thorn and saved before I went to fight, but instead of being placed on the opposite side of my opponents I was placed on the same side (didn't realize that at the time of my save). I can run through the gate to start the battle, but I can't get the exit gates to open once I complete the fight. All the doors say they require a key, even the side exit that leads to Red Lucy. Anyone else having this problem and/or know of a fix? My autosave is for inside the battle and obviously my save was for during the fight too. I'm stuck in an endless loop and really can't bring myself to replay the 20 hours I've put into this!

Sorry, but I don't think there's a fix right now. I am also having this same problem. Luckily my autosave was after I entered Thorn. I tried battling three times, but the gates never opened afterward.
