At the end of “Beneath the Waves,” (Sylvari personal story) you have to unlock some cages. There’s a very narrow range of spots you can be to get the “Unlock [F]” message. I need to spam movement keys, jump, and [F] until I lucked upon the ways to open cages for the Sylvari and the Asuran. (For the Hylek Ehutl, if you stand just so, you can open that cage.)

The locks seem to be just above the ground level of the cages and it’s not clear if that action has priority over talk/greet.

Also having this problem. Very, very sloppy on the part of the devs and with no GM support in this game I am currently unable to continue my story because of a targeting issue. Just horrible and unthinkable in this day and age. This needs to get fixed.

Of course it needs to get fixed, but it’s just a bug and there’s a viable work-around. Instead of trying to target the cage, just keep moving your character around and spam the action key (default: [F]). It didn’t take very long, although I agree it’s annoying.

Happened to me as well. If you jump up near the cages, it will pop up the interact dialogue.

I’m having trouble with this one also. I’ve tried it twice, once a month ago and again a few days ago. Can’t find 2 of the cell door unlocks even after going all over the platform. Reported it as a bug both times.

I was having a problem with this today, I noticed that when I clicked the cages to target them the option to unlock was displayed.

Hi guys,

there is an easy workaround. Just click the cage once and the unlock (F) will have priority over speaking/greeting.

yw!
