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?

Does anyone know if you can open the toy chest? My google fu must be weak because I can't find anything about it other than to reveal the actual Harper Stash, and there is no option to open it, only "use" it (which unveailed the larger chest).

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.

How do you open the tiny chest? My google fu must be weak because there is no option to open it, only "use" it (which unveailed the larger chest).

There is nothing in the toy chest, it's not even a container, just a trigger.
The other guy meant a chest in a different location, no relation to the harper stash.

Ahh, right. Thanks.

Just thought I would add I am having same issue, no amulet and the map marker does not go away. I read that there is a map or something in the goblin base that might be tied to getting the quest even before hand, maybe that is whats causing this issue. Not sure...

I think you supposed to take the tiny chest and light it on next harper spot, maybe jaheira know something?

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.

Nah. You can get the whole harperstash with the lockpicking. I got both the harper amulet and another one(though you get that from a mimic.) The third amulet is the sentient by the elemental guarded one.
It is the map marker that is bugged, another one that can bug is Philomenia-s. It is a known issue, can look it up in the tech reports.

Yes, tying the entire harper stash quest to the Light spell would have been far too limiting.
First, what if you don't have any magic users in your party?
Second, what if your magic users don't have the light cantrip? I never bother with it, all my party members have darkvision. Obtaining a new cantrip is also difficult: only wizards can learn from scrolls, and you can kill the only companion who is a wizard by default as soon as you meet him; also, it's possible there are no Light scrolls (I have not seen one).
Sure, I know there's a magic item capable of casting Light in the Arcane tower, but would the average player know that, without consulting third party sources? No.

So, it absolutely makes sense to allow the Harper stash to be openable even without the Light cantrip. Otherwise, too much trouble for such a small quest if you don't happen to have this cantrip available.

The only answer players can give by sharing their experiences was given - it seems to be a glitch. The stash involves the chest puzzle and there is nothing more to it. The marker staying despite the puzzle being solved is about the same glitch as companions showing the exclamation mark despite they have nothing more / new to say (Wyll..).

The map marker is bugged. It does not go away even after you loot the stash which is in the area with mimics. People are confusing this area and the one closer to the forge where a lava elemental is guarding an amulet that has a monk trapped inside it.

I would just like to confirm to people this is not a bug, it's simply a matter that the location of the amulet that starts the questline was changed to a new location within the adamantine forge (See from ganbaregoemon77). The confusion for alot of people is that websites are still spouting information from Early Access that is no longer correct, as in this case.


To open the chest you need to cast Light on the small toy chest and then click on it, it will spawn the real chest that is trapped and locked. I cast light on the real chest and I picked up the key to the chest from a corpse that first informed me about the stash in the first place. Nothing of value in it.

[Boikinov]

You don't need to cast the light spell on the chest, if you have other light source
My character carried the Blood of Lathander, it auto casts light on the toy chest when I near it

I read a journal of a knight of shar's dead corpse that says he stole the amulet from the inquisitor's room, but he was caught and the amulet was thrown into a lava pit (where the lava monster is). I found the amulet there, but I still get the mimic area's map location with a question mark

[Dyckhause]

It seems they maybe still have not fixed this particular bug, I just got to Harper's Stash and emptied all the chests, not even having used the light spell, but the question mark is still on my map. No amulet in sight either.
