Korthos Island - stuck

[jettmorrison]

Did not complete Misery's Peak correctly. Should have used the portal, but old habits die hard. I recalled.

Still in snowy Korthos
Quest Journal says Misery's Peak is completed
Salvation of Korthos quest says "tell the captain Rinar the dragon is gone..." etc.
Captain Rinar d'Thuranni has a green completion icon above his head
Unable to converse with him. (yes, I have clicked on him more than one time). That's not the issue.
I am unable to 'repeat' Misery's Peak. I get the option to repeat from Amalgam but the quest is not bestowed.
I cannot enter the Misery's Peak quest.
I cannot abandon any quest on korthos island. All pre-req quests say they are part of a quest arc.
Unable to group with anyone.

This is a really unfortunate occurance. My dedicated guild spent three weeks exploring the island and now to have a gliche like this is incredibly disappointing. I am not a new player but I would absolutely quit playing the game if I were.

I'm actually considering quitting the game anyway. I was away for six months and decided to give ddo another try.

Also, I have been online for a total of six hours trying to resolve this issue. I submitted multiple tickets to Turbine. No response as usual.

Have you tried going to the tavern in the snowy village and typing /death - I'm pretty sure your bindpoint changes to the non-snowy village when you complete Misery's Peak.

...but I haven't been stuck this particular way before so I can't be sure.

Wow thats a new one to me.

Garth

Yes...in my research, the only mention of this type of gliche (although not this issue in particular), the suggestion was to do as you suggested. I did type /death in the tavern to no avail.

(I shed a tear as my guildies are entering stormreach without me.)

[Garth_of_Sarlona]

hmm that does suck... there isn't even a mailbox in korthos for someone to mail you a teleport mask... and you can't get back to snowy korthos if you've left (as far as I know)

<scratches head> - probably your only options are to keep raising those tickets... does the game let you group with the rest of your guild? Have you tried entering a quest and then leaving from the quest entrance? Maybe entering a quest and then recalling out.

Which server are you on? Perhaps if the game lets you group with other non-snowy korthos people then they could greater teleport you out if you both met in a quest?

Garth

[jettmorrison]

that one little mistake, pressing recall instead of clicking on a portal would cause this much problem. I may be the first but I find it hard to believe.

Yet the lack of response from Turbine is suspicious; and frustrating to say the least. My one dedicated night for questing a week is being flushed down the toilet. Awesome.

There is a fix that I know for this, Had it happen to a friend of mine. If someone in your guild has an extra char slot have them make a new char. Go through the tutorial and into snowy korthos. Then do the 4 quests to get the explore zone open. Pick up the Hayden quest complete then go to the peak. complete and use the D-door. This should put you on sunny side and allow you to finish the chain. Yeah I know its the long way.

OR

Find someone on snowy side that is heading to the peak and get in a group with them. This is much faster way if there are people running on snowy side.

I grouped up with someone and that was the solution...thanks

[Tenkari_Rozahas]

apparently going through the DDoor is part of the quest... as it shows up on the objectives menu, so my guess is thats the reason, you completed thew quest but missed a "required" objective.

[Aganazer]

Going through the DDoor isn't always required to finish it. Maybe that objective is completed by the first char through. Last night my quest was complete and I hadn't gone through the DDoor. Luckily I knew it was a shortcut to go through it anyway.

There is definitely a bug with that part of the quest.

[Mandinga]

The only thing I can suggest is to get someone to teleport you off the island and never go back. If you are on Thelanis I can help you out, if not I'm sure you can find someone here that will help.

*Just seen that you got off the Island*

I believe the other way to fix it is to do the "Redemption" quest again, then Amalgam will let you do Misery's Peak again.

[cameron22]

I to have this problem...myself and 2 son's ran through all of them...and my son can't get out.

The captain wont accept that the dragon is dead
can't repeat or abandon the quest...he is stuck

I tried to make another character and group with him, but it
says that he is on a different stage on the quest.

Please help!

[EKKM]

Unfortunately based on the above posts it looks like soemone has to run redemption again to open the quest from Amalgam. You can either put up an lfm looking for someone to do that for him or you will have to create a new character to get to that point. If a new character do the four quests required to open the explorer area (3 available the collaborator) and then do redemption and misery's peak again.

make sure he take the dimension door out and does not recall.

Might heklp to post your server.

Your server may have a help channel: ingame, type joinchannel/help then type /1 with your question or request.

Also try posting in your server forum - a lot of people will be leveling up lowbies this weekend you should get a good response.

is this when you try to form group or is that the red warning that appears when he enters the quest? If it's the second, have him run the quest to completion anyway and use dd out. if it's the first then idk :confused:

[SpinKick]

I'm having the same **** problem

[SpinKick]

can somone teleport me off the island? I'm on the g server.. my guys name is travishae

[Nodoze]

One of our static party-mates has this same problem...

He fell to his death during the quest and released to the village to be raised by the priest. He quickly ate/drank in the inn and expeditious retreated back to the peak and to us to complete the quest. At the end, he could NOT talk to the guy and take the portal back... So he recalled and is stuck... re-reading the above for solutions but all of them sound like work-arounds and not a fix...

I am concerned that even if one of us creates a new char and unlocks the dragon quest for him to rerun he will still not be able to talk to the dragon.

He is also considering re-rolling a new char and re-running solo to catch-up to the party... We aren't sure how people have done it, but it appears there may be a way to bypass the dragon on new chars. We suspect you can bypass if you if you choos to bypass the tutorial at the first quest/ship-wreck but curious if anyone can confirm.

[Talish]

Bypassing the tutorial puts you on the sunny side of Korthos. From there you can move to the harbor and back at will and complete korthos or not run it at all. All that is required is that you have had one character on that server complete the chain.

If your friend has not completed the chain he may not have the option to skip the tutorial. It wouldn't hurt to roll up a character and check tho.

Good luck

I apologize that Customer Service didn't get to your ticket. There is a fix for this and it is in the next mod -Soon (tm)- I'm also glad you found the work around and got to Sunny Korthos.

The character that you tried to catch up with is probably not on the same stage as your sons character. If you wish to help him through get a second character to the same point and run the quest with him and make sure you use the door to exit the dungeon with him. You also can attempt to contact a Game Master in-game and have him place your son's character on the right level. Your son can also attempt to find a group running the quest and use the door to get to the same stage. Good luck with what ever choice is made, and I apologize if this has cause any major inconvenience.

FTR - I submitted a ticket 2 weeks ago with log-in problems. Ticket was answered in less than two days, as promised, on time, on target. Thanks QA team!

Good luckBottom line was that we could have just created a new character on the account with the stuck character and go straight to Stormreach... (His first character was stuck so no others had ever been to the dragon quest)

The above is correct AND our stuck account could create new chars that could bypass. As mentioned above, our party-mate died on the dragon quest, released and ran back, and said he couldn't click on the dd/portal to exit and finished out. He couldn't leave the Island but any new chars he created could choose to bypass the island and go direct to the sunny side... If we did another character like that that bypassed the island, we couldn't group with the original character... The only way to get the original character out was to not skip the tutorial and go all the way through to the dragon (he could enter the dungeon even though he had run the quest) and at the end he could use the DD/Portal...

This happened to me (in 2015). My computer crashed a second or two after I clicked the DD portal, and I was stuck in Snowy Korthos, with the prompt icon over the captain but otherwise in snowy mode. I couldn't abandon the quest, either.
The /death command brought me to Sunny Korthos, and now all is well.

Looks like a griefing attempt by a disgruntled player.

Bring back a thread from SIX years ago? That required some serious searching.

Just confirming that this trick worked for me as well. This game may be old but I still enjoy playing it.

Unfortunately, the bug still exists & the /death trick didn't resolve it for me.

My PC locked up after clicking the dimension door & Captain Rinar won't complete the quest. Don't really want to abandon the character <or> never visit Korthos, but I've been waiting about a week for in-game support contact...

It may not be a common bug, but maybe that quest completion inside of a DD transport should be changed. There are probably new folks that run into that and just walk away. :(

---------
Meanwhile, questions. You can exit the quest and get back into Korthos village, yes?

Check with NPC Valeria down by the shore to see if she will send you to Stormreach. May have to agree to skip the Korthos story line, but you can return and complete it.

That *should* work.

If that^ doesn't work, I have another suggestion tho it isn't a free one. Check the in-game Store for Hot Cocoa:




Ski Lift Hot Cocoa
(x10)
...
10 DP ....


This hot cocoa will bring you to the top of the ski jump instantly from any public area. Not usable in quests.




See if that will transport you to Stormreach harbor - and you'll still have 9 left for when Winter fests come up.

Almost always opt for new thread over necroing. Just reference old thread.
I tentatively disagree - a necro is not of itself a bad thing ~IF~ the topic is still alive - and, clearly, this one is. Better to have all relevant info in one thread than scattered over several that may or may not have (proper) references to each other. <shrug>

Well, from the thread we know the solution - find a group on snowy side and re-run the quest.

What server is this problem, and what time(ish) are you usually logged on?

[Merfyn]

Thanks for the reply! If only in-game support was as speedy!

There are probably new folks that run into that and just walk away. :(Yeah, that's why I even mentioned it. Seems like a solution was promised several years back but it's still very live (I used the in-game bug report).

Been online since 1145 EST today & it's 1815 now.

That *should* work.I haven't wanted to risk it since I didn't want to lose Korthos access. Particularly the amulet w/ 2 lesser spell point charges

Didn't even think of that! However, I tried "hot cider" & it didn't work.

I tried re-running the Heyton quest (edit2- re-running the Heyton quest *first*) but even though the warforged near Misery's Peak (Amalgam) says you can re-run the Dragon quest, the "you're not on the right quest" error shows when I try to re-run it.

EDIT - I quit waiting for in-game support & decided to try the "skip" option - seemed to work fine, & I still was able to get the quest reward (Archivist's Necklace)

Glad it worked out - tho' disappointed that this hiccup still appears.

With one character I have a problem that's not so serious : While doing The Voyage, I did an ALT+TAB to look into the Wiki (I know now that I shouldn't) ... then, when I came back, the game had crashed.

Since then, my character is at level 8 now, The Voyage is still open in the adventure list, the green arrow over the Korthos ship owner is still there - but luckily I was able to get to Stormreach, then. That was my forst new character after returning to the game.

[C-Dog]

...I did an ALT+TAB to look into the Wiki (I know now that I shouldn't) ... then, when I came back, the game had crashed...
Sound like maybe it's time for a new computer, or at least a new graphics card? Just maybe? :confused:

I use alt+tab all the time, never had a problem at all. Worst thing that I've seen is a F2P account that logs itself out after 15(?) minutes of inactivity, if I really get distracted. But just re-log and I'm right where I expect to be - and iirc, that can be back on the beach w/ Jeets if I'm in the Grotto (tho' might have to try that on purpose to confirm).

[Alrik_Fassbauer]

Well, my PC is already newish (bought early 2018). DDO is the only game making troubles like this, and I suspect it's just a little bit too old ... ?
When it starts, I always get the message that the windows theme is changed into basic (it's aero before that), and when I play it, I must click in the loading button 2 times, until it really loads. (Win 7 64 bit.)

[cdbd3rd]

....
Didn't even think of that! However, I tried "hot cider" & it didn't work.

Side note: Hot Cider won't work anywhere in Eberron, as those are tied to the Ice games in Eveningstar.

I believe archivist necklace is also possible for doing Phiarlan carnival chain (not sure if all parts of Kortos sets are on loot list or only common parts)

For error when trying Misery, press L find Kortos tab and Misery peak quest and try clicking abandon quest, if possible that should reset quest.
