Can't start the Stone Girl quest (Answered)

[Rookie (ZOE)]

Exactly as the title implies. I reach floor 15 of the dungeon time and time again and all I can do is "push" the Stone Girl, without activating any quest to save her, is it a bug perhaps or do I need to do the event that activates when one reaches floor 17 (I'm refraining from doing that until i'm fully prepared and whatnot) first? I'm just really confused is all, as i've talked to MacBeth, Ray and Artimides and yet I still can't activate the quest to save her. And Grant only appears during "scripted scenes" and so forth so I can never find him around town (Most likely in the dungeon or whatever i'm guessing), so I can't really find that character anywhere to help start/progress said quest, little help?

EDIT: I dunno why, but when I progressed to floor 19 of the dungeon and teleported out via wind crystal Ray and Artimides finally let the damn quest get started, sheesh... -_-

To start the event you need to talk to the owner of the Equipment shop. That might take a while - it depends on your reputation. And after you talked with the second shopkeeper involved (Lovely gift shop) you need to go into the dungeon again first and have a chat with one other adventurer on one of the 'between' floors.

I have well over 1000 "score" by now, which should be more than enough I believe. Regardless, i'll do what you said, I just hope it works... :<

I've talked to both Ray and Artimides and their shops, asked them their full list of questions, went to floor 12 of the dungeon (the "stoproom" just before progressing towards floor 15) and still didn't see anyone there, same goes for the previous "stoprooms" before that. (I added a "double comment" so that you would be notified, just to clarify) Damnit... What the hell am I doing wrong...?

You can only trigger that quest when you reach for the first time floor 16.

I already did go to that floor many times before, not stepping into floor 17 to not activate the event that happens in town once one reaches said floor until I was ready and so forth, as it says above I just decided to progress to floor 19 and the damn quest finally started as Ray and Artimides let it start.

I believe you have to first solve the bandits issue after dungeon no. 17 and also talk to Macbeth (The mage of Grant's team) in the guild to kind off trigger this

Really? I thought the quest could be completed so that Aurora could be there during the bandit attack, ah well.

I think I finally figured out the way to FINALLY progress the damn Stone Girl quest. Apparently, as long as you start from the beginning of the dungeon the MC will meet Kai (the male character with light blue hair and a tattoo on the left side of his face) after talking to both Ray and Artemides about the "Stone Girl" (In my case I went up to floor 19 and teleported back out via the wind crystal and then Ray and Artemides let the quest start) on one of the "stop-rest" floors as worstcase11 stated above and he'll ask the MC if he's seen the stone statue on floor 15 and then once I got to floor 15 to see if I could progress the quest and once I touched the statue it FINALLY opened a dialogue box, saying that I should ask anyone at the guild about the "petrified girl", obviously Macbeth. Finally, let's see how this goes...

EDIT: It worked! And yes, it CAN be done before executing the "Bandit Attack" main quest after making it past floor 17 of the dungeon.

Hey, that's awesome. I'm trying to help the stone girl out too, but I'm stuck after finding out who she was. I have no idea how to turn her back, lol.

You have to converse with Ray and Artemides about the issue, then afterward talk to Macbeth in the guild and he'll be impressed with your current floor progress (As I said above I went as far as floor 19, so as to not rush things and mess up anything event-related and so forth) and afterward saying about how he's a magician and so forth. After that you should witness the above event wth Kai on one of the "stopfloors" in the dungeon and he'll ask the MC if he's seen the stone girl on floor 15 and that'll let you proceed toward the next step of the quest which happens when you "touch" the stone girl, activating a response in the form of a narration box, then head back to the guild and tell Macbeth about the situation. After all that Grant claims that it's impossible to cure her, go back to the dungeon and on one of the "stopfloors" Mak will appear and say that what Grant says is not true, as he knows a way to restore her back to normal. After that just meet Mak back at his "usual place" behind the church/temple at night and then he'll describe to you what needs to be done to help the "stone girl", the rest is pretty much self-evident of what to do. (I recommend putting away all but 5 Imp Essences inside your storage though, since Mak will remark about them and say "all mine", so yeah... Just as a precaution: As said before, put away all but 5 of your currently possessed Imp Essences just in case Mak doesn't be a ♥♥♥♥ and take them all away from you. After he gets the 5 Imp Essences it'll be safe to hold them again.)
