Quest "Explore the ruins" bugged

[Grimmblut]

Hi,

I've found the "Richly Adorned Sarcophagus" in the ruines behind a wall that could be opened by a hidden button. However, nothing happens when I open the sarcophagus and the quest does not progress, although the quest at this stage simply says "Open the sarcophagus" and the quest marker on the map points exactly to the position of the sarcophagus.

The quest is bugged but you can still validate it.
Here's how to do it

1-Click the button and defeat all the monsters

2- Enter the room, the log update is triggered.

3-Go to the camp where you will find Withered, west of the camp behind the gate.
Talk to him.

4-Leaving the camp

5- Click on the plate just below the sarcophagus, the journal should update.

6- Go back to the camp and talk again with Withered There should be a new dialogue option on the plate.
The quest should complete normally.

Hoping that helps people and sorry for my English.

Thanks for the help, this indeed helped me to work around the bug.

It worked! Thanks!

I don't think it's working for me, I don't see anyone new at the camp. I've looted the sarcophagus, and clicked the plate, went back-forth between the camp an location. Nothing happens.

This is an unfortunate bug. Wasted a good amount of time on this. The problem with early access is there is a lot of content on this game explaining puzzles and things that have changed at release.

When I did this, it turned out that Withers was already at the camp. He won't just be standing around like your companions. You have to find him.

When I did this, I went "to camp" while in the dank crypt, so I got the camp in the crypt, and Withers is behind a closed door.

Not sure if Withers is found at any camp -- probably is, but each camp seems to have an area that is not obvious. That is where Withers is probably found.

[Morgian]

You can ignore it, too. Withers shows up in camp on his own, but later...I saw him first after dealing with the goblins (and never was in the ruins).

This is the second immersion breaking bug I've encountered and I'm not even that far into Act 1. I was at least able to complete the quest thanks to Zabatoir.

for some reason this isn't working for me, no withered appears,clicking the button that supposedly disarms the traps does nothing, all that usually ends up happening is that a trap is sprung(at least I think that's what's happening I'm not exactly sure what is going on) and when I try to open the sarcophagus it tells me that I need a trap kit to disable the traps, I tried covering them up with objects but that still doesn't do anything so I'm pretty much stuck not being able to open it.
