Can enter in the front door, which then becomes locked behind you, only other exit is a door that I do get the option of pressing “F” to open. But this does nothing. The other NPCs don’t help or try to get it open and talking to the servant npcs just has the same dialogue for each one.
Also stuck on this, the NPC who talks to you initially disappears into the door that you cannot open. Can jump over the top however there is nothing on the other side and nothing triggers.
I’ve asked a programmer to look at it, what’s baffling is that it was fine about 2 weeks ago, and there’s nothing on the content end that appears to be incorrect.

Same here, I’m not sure if it can be any help, but I tried it once and pass that part the first time, but failed it at some point and couldn’t continue due to lack of time in real life, so I just quit the game. Then I tried to do it a few times today and couldn’t pass the first door.
The door cannot be opened normally as intended, is not reachable if you are just standing normally in front of it.
BTW, all the NPCs that are helping you killing “that guy” die in 3 seconds, and you must kill it solo, that could be hard, I just abandoned the mission, trying later.
Same thing as most of the other users. Jumped past first two doors, and couldn’t progress.
Used the /stuck command to respawn at entrance (after 30 seconds of inactivity)…
respawned to entry point…..
walked right through first door….
“F” didn’t open second Door….
Climbed wall to top of door as per trick above….
“F” got the “The door is sealed tight and won’t budge.” message…
Clicked “Leave”
Undead servants suddenly attacked….
returned to ground floor and killed servants…
Servants all dead…
Tried and failed to open door…
reclimbed wall to top of second door…
Top of door “F” opened the door….
Seemed to continue quest…
Killed Zaitan!
Nod to whoever recommended hiding behind pillar during attacks.
I just attempted this as well. First door opens. Then nothing goes active. I did the jump the door trick, door opened and all servants went active. Killed all of them. Door still wouldn’t open by normal means. Jumped up again and everything else continued as expected until the mouth of Zhaitan fight. Then as stated earlier all of the accompanying NPCs were dead in 1 hit and the fight is left to you. With all of the poison puddles and flame sprays, this is nearly impossible. Especially since ANet nerfed the crap out of the Ranger short bow. Guess I will wait another week or 2 to finish the story until maybe they can get something fixed.
The fight with the mouth of Zhaitan is working as it did from the start. The NPCs die immediately, you are left to fight solo with tons of damage to dodge. You can hide behind the pillar and pick off the shields circling him. Once all the shields are destroyed, the NPCs will revive on their own. At that point, I found melee was the best way to go. I used my axe/torch and applied conditions. Try not to let him get to the chests that the undead servants are bringing in or he’ll regen health.
There are a number of threads with tips on how to beat this mission… just do a quick search. Also most people agree this is one mission that needs to be toned down a bit. It was the most difficult one of all for me.
Well I really hope they fix this soon, I’m stuck for 5 days already, tried jumping and all sorts of crazy stuff, but those doors just won’t open. First one I can jump over, and second one, but still nothing happens. ETA on fixing this bug would be really apreciated
I just got to this quest and had the same problem. I haven’t tried jumping on top of the door since it seems to lead to problems later, but I restarted three times just to check.
Guess I’ll be waiting for a fix.
I just completed this one by standing on top of the 2nd door to open it. After that, the rest of the quest went fine.
Same! I was really glad I checked the forums when I couldn’t get this quest done. Not sure I would have thought to try standing on top of the door otherwise…Thanks!

Thanks for the info, standing on the door worked. But it would be nice if we didn’t have to look on the internet to find out how to do this. You’re standing in front of a door, you interact with it and it opens, that’s how it’s supposed to work. Having to jump on it is just a workaround so please fix this.
I got stuck in this mission as well. Doing it solo, lvl 80 mesmer. Defended the undead-chicken wave, the lord presented itself and then vanished through a door that would have the ‘press F to open’ dialog, but that would not open no matter how many times I pressed F.
The solution was to jump my way to the top of the door and activate the dialog from there. So it seems it is its activation point/radius is bugged.
Edit: Also, the second time you need to activate the door I had to climb to its top to get it open again.
With the information in this thread, I was able to get past the second door with my solo level 76 Ranger. However, I could not get out the final door to leave the Estate. It seems to be the same issue as the second door. After the party member says she’ll put her elbow into it, nothing happens and I’m stuck inside. When I approach the door, I see the same green outline as at the second door. If I try to open the door, it tells me that it is stuck and my only choice is to click on “Leave” to shut down the chat box. I logged out and came back in again to kill the Mouth a second time and I still couldn’t get out. I guess my story ends here, since I have no desire to keep doing this part of the story over and over.
You have to get up on top of the door click on the door and then open it, which then you have to kill the risen that spawn. The only real problem I had was during the boss fight where the NPC’s died in 1 hit and the spectral guards weren’t agroing properly, I also had a problem with the pillars not stopping anything that went through them. I also had the NPC’s come back to life multiple times during this fight, it was kind of weird.
Also, Galina, who is supposed to open the door, is the only npc who is not knocked down by the falling ceiling… so, she/he appears to be the issue as far as the exit door is concerned.
For me, running forward and jumping into the door while spamming “F” seemed to work for me both times I had to interact with that door. (I had to hold both mouse keys to run while consistently jump and pressing F at the same time… also I had better results jumping into the right side of the door)
I didn’t have any trouble finishing after this. (no issues with the final door, just make sure you make it out before the npcs… don’t stop!)
Been trying to continue with this story line for a month now only to get stuck in estate of decay cause nothing happens at the doors. I sincerly wish they would fix this bug.
Confirmed – this stage of the story is still buggy as of 16 Oct. I was able to complete it, thankfully from reading the above posts here to get clues, by hopping on top of the second door to open it. Once opened, the servants became active and was able to kill them, and then proceed further.
I’m stuck at the same bug, too – it may be related to the location of the trigger for the door, reading the workaround. I’ll have to try that while programmers figure out the best way to fix this.
Yeah, i seem to be stuck at this point in the story too, please fix soon.
Thanks – Toxicity
I managed to fix it! i jumped on top of the door and constantly tried to open the door and it seemed to work for me, give it a try if you’re having the same problem
I was stuck at the second door too, then I followed the advise of standing on top of the door, it was busted i think so it won’t budge when you stand in front of it or jump to the other side.
Everything else progressed smoothly after that. Just stand on top of it then when you click it it’ll open. Just finished the quest now.
The first door bugged for me. My initial reaction was “look for a secret passage” so I ended up finding how to get on top of it. Before dropping on the far side I decided to try opening it from above, which triggered the next part. When it came time to actually open the door, I could do that just standing on the ground in front of it like you would expect.
The second door, I thought was about to do the same but it opened after a short delay. Might have been lag.
The boss decimated the NPCs, who did rez throughout the fight, although not frequently enough to be helpful. As a guardian, I just reflected his projectiles back at him—this got him to phase 2 in no time. While the tooltip says he regenerates, I never noticed any… reflect, kill couriers while waiting on reflect to be back up, repeat.

Thanks for the advice about jumping up and trying to spam-activate the first door – it worked! Stick to the RIGHT SIDE of the door as you jump and spam that F key, and it should open eventually. The second door seemed bugged at first, but after a few attempts (no jumping, just standing in front of it) it opened as well. After that, everything was alright.
I’m sure A-Net has tracked down the cause and will get it fixed in the next patch, especially if it’s only a few days old.
