Harper stash near Grymforge bugged?

[Codious]

So I got a Map marker for a Harper stash near the Grymforge, and pretty sure I've foubd all the loot butbmarker doesn't go away? Is this a big or am I missing something?

Killed the mimics, looted them, picked up the toy chest (not sure it can be opened?). Had Astarion disarm and lockpick the true chest that appears and took its contents. Map marker is still there. Am I missing something?

[Mr Deadeye]

Theres supposed to be an amulet that starts a new quest thats not appearing. Need something to do with casting a light spell on either the toy box or the chest. It might be bugged.

[Ojustme]

I read about casting light spell in a note, but I indeed don't get anything of note from it (I cast it onto the main chest right away though)

[PocketFox]

I also didn't get the amulet that's supposed to be in there. In fact, the chest was essentially worthless for all the effort it took to find (the Scroll of Evidence referencing stuff we've known about for ages by that point, 14g, and a vendor item worth 35g)

Regarding the map marker, that's apparently a known bug. So this chest might have multiple bugs going on with it. :)

I picked up the stash as well, and it's still on my map. No quest item/amulet came with it, just the items PocketFox wrote. 'Light' gets cast on the toy chest which makes the stash appear.

No amulet for me either.

Same here. I managed to open the stash without damaging it and while it had light cast on it.

The only things inside were just a Scroll of Evidence, like 13gp and a random item. Tried reloading and killing the mimics again, same thing.

The only reason I learned there was supposed to be something else in there (Harper Amulet which I guess triggers a quest), some +1 weapon, +1 Armor and a scroll of Identify, was after all the trouble it took to open it (I went through like 9 thieves tools to unlock it), what I found inside made me go "hmm, that's it?"

So I searched online about it and found out something wasn't right. Smells like a bug.

yeah ive tried casting both Daylight and Light (via Guiding Light ring) and still just getting an Evidence Scroll and some gold....ya know, they said it would take multiple playthroughs to like see all the content in BG3....I was not anticipating part of the reasoning was because of bugs....

Yeah, well, I'm about 42 hours into my first full playthrough (I played ~33 hours in early access, right up to the boats in the Underdark, just when the game first dropped as Early Access, and then decided to shelve the game entirely until final release).

At this stage, it seems in addition to not being able to acquire the Harper Amulet or running that whole questline, sometime around the goblin camp/hidden sanctuary (about 24 hours in), Gale stopped talking to me and now my only options when I speak with him are "Join my party"/"Leave my party" or Leave (dialog). I can't get him to progress his story, I can't even "feed" him magical gear. I obviously noticed this way too late because if I noticed it sooner I would have just reloaded an earlier save, but I'm not going back from 42 hours back to 24 hours in...

Until Larian can squash all these pretty severe bugs, I kind of wish there was a hidden NPC or cheat-code or something we could use to fix the bugs that are showing up (e.g. giving ourselves a quest item; resetting an NPC partymember's dialgoe and/or approval rating, etc.).

[EDIT]: I should mention that in terms of performance and stability, the game runs perfectly, has not so much as stuttered or hanged or crashed and it's exceedingly optimized so whoever worked on that aspect knocked it out of the park.

I got the amulet, but it wasn't with the harper chest that was surrounded by mimics. It was in a small chest past the giant lava pool that you had to carefully cross.

Do you mean down past the ancient forge?

Yup, you will see some "dialogue" coming from huge lava bubbles that say they are about to burst. Just used my main character alone to navigate it and found it on a small chunk of land surrounded by lava.

There is other things than just a chest in there…

[zpc]

For me that one was like this:
I found the stash / "chests" before finding the marker
As I got the marker (much much later) it was already looted and thus never gets removed

(I didn't use the light spell - just good'old lockpicks to spawn the last chest)

I have not heard of a magical harper amulet nor of a +1 armor in the harper stash.
The only magical amulet in Grymforge is the Sentient amulet and it is a different treasure.
The only magical armors are the Dark Justiciar Mails and the chain shirt you get from Thrinn.

Yes the amulet is quite sentient and scared the crap out of me when I picked it up.
