act 1 sarcophagus bug
I'm pretty sure this topic has been beaten to hell and back but for me I can't seem to get around it, the moment I walk in into the room and see the traps the sarcophagus just gets locked with the only way to open it is with a trap disarm kit(which I now have to find or buy), the button that should supposedly disarm the traps does absolutely nothing,the plaque is unreadable and the withered also doesn't seem to spawn at all, I've seen people say that if you go back to your camp you should find him but he doesn't appear there either as well as other ways to get access to the sarcophagus but none of them seem to be working for me.

anyone have any ideas on how to get past this or should I just give up on the quest and dungeon entirely.

the button disarms the traps after they have been activated. get next to the sarcophagus, enter turn based mode, open the sarcophagus (right click > open) if you need to, go push the button, exit turn based mode. Trap avoided. you dont need to block the vents or anything because you push the button before the environment gets a turn in TB mode

Wrong sarcophagus... You need to go further down into the ruins to find Withers to a room with some (dead) skeletons. His sarco is not trapped.

Button only works after triggering the traps to turn off the fireballs.

Yeah keep going, you are looking for a room with several skeletons laying on the floor. Searching the alcoves in that room should reveal a button that opens a door to Wither's sarcophagus.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Block off the vents with the boxes and vases lying around. You don't need a disarm kit to open it, IIRC the R-click menu lets you, button just turns off the traps if you need it (go into TBM just in case).

huh..........well then now I have another problem and that is the doors that lead farther down into the ruins are locked and the only way to get the key is by opening the sarcophagus on the other side(or breaking the doors I guess) which locks up for some reason and it pretty much tells me the only way to open it is by using a trap disarm kit

I tried that but nothing seems to happen when I R-click it it just tells me that I need to disarm a trap in order to open it.

Right click > open

tried that and for some reason nothing happens lol although I did finally find a way to get past it and that was by rushing in and opening the sarcophagus before it locks up which does end up triggering the traps but I'll just deal with them
