Auntie Ethel question (possible spoiler)

[churley1965]

I'm at the tea house doing the rescue Mayrinna quest, Auntie Ethel escaped through the fireplace, my quest log says to follow her but I can't , am I missing something or is this a bug?

Go through the fireplace, it's an illusory wall.

You should be able to pass through the fireplace illusion by clicking on the floor behind it. If you can't, could be a bug.

Why can't you? Like, what's stopping you

I had an issue tonight with that as well, I used Misty Step to get through the fireplace and the rest of my party followed without issue.

Having the same issue. Killed the Redcaps outside, Auntie runs into the firepit, I turn the fire pit off, head back to camp and Heal up and get All spells redone, go back to tea house and now I can't enter the fire pit, says I can't enter.

Sounds like Camera Boss has shown its true face, heh; worst boss in this game.

If you haven't already, click the fire itself to put it out. Then just click movement on the black space behind it. Pan the camera by holding the middle mouse button if needed, and zoom in by scrolling up if the roof is in your way. Mess around with the camera enough and it will work for you, as your characters can freely walk in that space so long as you can figure out how to order them to with the cursor.

I was just doing the same quest - fireplace in her house is a bit tricky/bugged/hard to get through. What worked for me was, extinguishing the fire, and then jumping to the other side.

It's been a while but did you have to make a perception check to detect the illusion? If all your party members failed it that might be the reason why you can't go through. Try reloading an earlier save.

PS: It's been a long time since I did that quest so I might be wrong about the perception check so you can do as the others say and just click on the other side and see what happens.

Yes, precisely what I had and like I posted above, you can get through the fireplace with Misty Step
