rescue the tieflings failed (possible spoilers)

[Operation40]

in act2, I killed the guards and the npc with the prison key and flipped all the cell door switches. the tieflings ran to the door and quest log updated saying I needed to protect them from the guards (who are dead).. I found them just standing at the main door and they won't talk to me. and they don't follow when I go through the door.

so I figure I need to clear more of the tower - no prob. I start doing that, and then failed the rescue quest next time I entered camp.

how do I get them to go home? or is the guns-a-blazin' approach not supported for this quest?

use the backdoor, a ship behind their prisonwalls, maybe gale can help

when the journal updated after opening the doors, it also said the ship sailed with no one on board and I'll have to find another way

so I kinda assumed it was still possible.. but maybe not

That is a bug, I already sent in a report.

The only way to get them going is take Wulburn's Hammer top of the Warden's Tower then clear your way of enemies of entire Prison if you want (best do for exp anyway) and hand Wilburn his hammer, he will break prison walls and rescue Tieflings as well and go to the dock hid behind Prison. THEN you can go back to switches and open either cell 2 or 4 to go to the back of the Prison.

DO NOT OPEN ANY CELL DOOR USING THE SWITCHES NOR COMMUNAL SWITCH FOR ALL SWITCHES IT WILL BUG THEM OUT.

I know this because I encountered the exact same situation, leaving by foot they won't follow, go to main floor quest update they dies, teleport back to Last Light Inn they dies, open all cells by communal or individually (cell 2 and 4) they stuck; go down to Oubilette they all die magically; go to back side where boat is by your own while they out by Prison entrance as a group game bugs out and dupe out an empty boat just your party and none of the npcs.

Unfortunately this still seems to be a bug, even with the most up to date version is still does this.

i always just went into the far right and hopped up the rocks past the gnomes, it leads to the tunnels behind the prison allowing you to break the walls and chains on the boat yourself.

it makes them leave immediately, not risking any confrontation with the guards if i decided not to kill them all.

Yeah it seems like the boat method works, but it shouldn't be the only method that works. Breaking them out with the levers should work, but it doesn't. I don't know if it's because I already killed the guards beforehand (maybe the game expects a fight), or what, but it's definitely bugged.

As of right now, this bug is still in effect. >.<

If anyone gets the weird bug where they just freeze up and won't escape and trigger the quest to complete/continue, I had that problem of a couple of them just standing around by the prison door and another by the jump outside.

Ice-surfaces under them made them fall and get up and "reset" themselves to continue on their path and the quest finished.
