Blood of Lathander quest is broken

[Astraeos]

You cannot turn the Statue that needs to face West. I have reloaded the athletics check literally over two dozen times, everybody fails it every single time. I have tried hitting the tower, I have tried shooting it, I have tried damaging it, I have tried casting magic at it, and I have tried like the game suggested, to grease it up. I've tried throwing a grease bottle at it a dozen times, and that does literally nothing.

I can't think of anything else other than the Statue is completely bugged, therefore, making the quest incompleteable.

Hit it with a weapon, that worked for me, I.used Karlach

[Astraeos]

Are you guys incapable of reading? I literally said that I hit it with a weapon. I hit it with weapons, I shot it, I hit it with spells, I hit with grenades, nothing works. It's broken. Literally nothing I've tried gets the statue to turn. Can you comprehend my words?

It made one of those perception like rolls for me when i was there. Maybe that needs to succeed.

As I literally stated, I've reloaded and save scummed over two dozen times, that Athletics is impossible to pass. JEsus christ, you people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ need to learn how the ♥♥♥♥ to read an actual ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ post.

I threw grease on it and that did nothing them hit it and it turned

Oil. Not grease. There's a cup of oil to be found in the creche. The instructions say oil specifically.

Try with a different character, or use a potion of giant strength. I assure you the athletics check is passable.

Yeah. I regret mentioning that it's Oil and not Grease to bypass the strength/attack check now, but I won't delete in case someone more civil has the same question.

I didn't find the OIL, But a THUNDERWAVE spell DID WORK to move the statue

[leohayward]

I cast a scroll of grease upon the setting sun statue. Turned it west (duh). Turned the rising sun statue east (wow i'm smarter than a barn full of owls. Secret door opened.
So grease can work. MC athletics is +7, strength 19.

I can confirm that this is entirely false. Shadowheart has been using the mace from the quest in the Shadowlands my entire time in them because the light blinds the shadow creatures. You can pass the athletics check on that statue. Just gotta roll well.

I believe I used bludgeoning force, used a hammer and did like 30+ damage to it and it moved, had a level 6 Karlach hit it. Had Astarion hit it with weaker stuff before, didn't do anything. I reloaded a few times and no one succeeded on the athletics.

[I'm cucked]

i just hit it and it worked. dunno homie.

How to pass the athletic check:

1. Hill giant potion
2. Strength elixir
3. guidance

It's a hard check but it's passable.
