Well, I was going to finally complete my Mawdrey tonight, so I went to the flame temple tombs in Diessa Plateau. I break the statue on entrance, I got the “statue head”… But I can’t interact with mortar that you supposed to use to break the floor in the first room to the left! I can jump around it, smack it with the #1 but no activation point…

There are two work-arounds:

  1. Ignore the statues and head directly to the mortar. Step in front of it, so that you are on the ‘floor’ above the water. Log out your character and then log back in. You will be in the water and can proceed as if you did the head trick.
  2. Get one of the many ports to Rhendak’s Tomb (the end of the puzzle, where the boss spawns) and head backwards. You can open each gate from the back using a nearby chain.

ANet knows about the bug; there’s no ETA for a fix.

Good luck.

PS most people have no trouble with #1, but a few have reported that somehow they end up in LA. If that happens, use option #2 (or try standing on a different spot before logging).

Thanks, I’ve found someone portaling me to the boss, which solved the issue
