Q:

I think that “Temple of the Forgotten God” is bugged. I am following the directions about depositing the elixir, but the second time I try it looks like the gate that is supposed to open stays shut. (See https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Temple-of-the-Forgotten-God-Door-stays-closed for my bug report.)

Any hints on getting through this quest? I am sure there are charr who have done it.

EDIT
OK, it is “illusory essence”. I put the 2nd one at the shrine, but the door does not unlock.

So this means an end to the personal story for my char. Bummer!

It’s not likely bugged. I thought I was stuck at this step of the quest as well but actually The door that's opened in the second step is not the one you think it is. This happens a few times in the quest chain. Explore the chambers fully and you should find the proper door. Good questing!

I’m having the same issue with the quest, the third door will not open therefore I cannot continue my story….

@ArchieNorris.9674: it just stinks, doesn’t it? Rats.

You get further than me; I can unlock the first door but the 2nd one stays locked.

Phooey!

Are you positive you’ve checked to see if another door has opened? Only the first door has a cutscene so the other entryways can be difficult to find…. When in doubt, try to move towards the green star on the minimap. I know this step confuses me every time I’ve done it.

Right. It’s not bugged, just hard to find the next step. Here’s a link for those who would like a pointer: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/58049-temple-of-the-forgotten-god-personal-quest/

(ArenaNet: as you know, the problem I reported is not a bug.)

@Jeffrey: thanks! I love this game. Funny thing is, the more frustrating the quest, the more endorphins I get when I solve it.

But I am NOT suggesting that ArenaNet go out of their way to make quests frustrating.

Not seeing the fun in this, with buggy underwater and the claustrophobic camera…

I’ve swum and swimmed and swam all the water-logged kittens out of this place, but I still can’t jump out of the water at the top.

My issue with this quest is once I get the second essence a group of mobs attacks and why I attack them eventually the essence disappears and my regular underwater attack bar appears. There is no way to get the essence back! I have started over three times now. Am I doing something wrong?

Dear Arenanet,

This quest is dumb, buggy, anti-fun, and really needs to be fixed. Thanks for an otherwise great game.

Your Friend,

Darick Kowalski
