Quest: Solve the Open Hand Temple Murder' can't complete

[tha_queen_of_chaos]

I was doing this quest and found the tunnels before being prompted there for the quest. (Was actually bringing the cursed amulet back)
Killed the 3 doppelgangers, looted the corpses and stuff.
Later after talking to the dead victims I got prompted there, but there's nothing to do now.

Can't I finish the quest now? Do I need to reload?

To be honest that quest is super jank for me as well, I made it past the first part where you are at the temple, and the quest was still bugged for me even when entering the city itself since the murder targets even though I 'save' them, they still remain on the map as if I did nothing for them.

So whilst I do not know a way to fix this quest, what I did to progress it is look up a guide on what the next step should be from where I was, I e finding the murder weapon and went to use talk with the dead on the murdered guy which for me it progressed my quest.

Just all in all I think the quest itself is Super buggy as hell so chances are even if you make it past this part you will have the same issue as I did, mainly the quest bugging out and softlocking itself.

[nod for kiss]

there must be letter in one of the doppelgangers that leads to another place

Not sure what you mean by cannot finish the quest. Where are you in the progression?

Check to make sure you have done what is needed.

Quest is not bugged. The icons remain on the map as the quest is not completed and you may need to return to them if you have missed a step. It is a complex quest, for sure. But not buggy at all, at least not for me when I did it.

Spoilers.


As BG3 wiki will show you, on one of the dead shapeshifters should be a key, which looks like it might fit something in the Flophouse. There's where you have to go next.

If you want the whole quest progression, it's there, at the wiki. I admit this one is story essential as there's only two ways into the city without kludges - working on the murders, OR figuring how what's up with the fireworks in the dude's basement.

BTW, the wiki is also really useful on one other issue that I consulted it on. Once you are dealing with murder victims in the city proper, there's only one or two places you might need to go to solving who the perp is. Cora's, and then, possibly, Figaro's. I say that as sometimes I've caught the perp at Cora's, sometimes he dimension doors, and I catch him at Figaro's. I don't know the variables there.

So far I've been finding a lot of bugged quests. Halsin quest in the shadow lands is bugged, he wants me to meet him at the lake and won't move from inn.
Apparently this was fixed in the latest patch, but it isn't for me. I reloaded before I talk to the guy in the bed with halsin and he still doesn't move.

I've heard act 3 is riddled with bugs too

The quest icon remained after my Astarion looted everything and picked the murder weapon on the crime scene. I thought I missed something, but apparently all the evidence have to be in your main character's inventory for the quest to progress.

i'm stuck in the same place. and did the same thing as op, went through the tunnles and killed the dopplegangers first. now i'm stuck with the search icon telling me to "find the crime scene" with the search bubble at the secret door to the tunnles.

no idea how to progress as i've already looted everything, read anything i picked up, and even did the speak to the dead spell on one of the dopplegangers. i also have the flowery key.

This quest can be ignored, FWIW. It does lead to a key plot quest, but you can also pick up that same key plot quest in other ways.

But OK, I'll ask. Did you find the murder weapon? It's not on a body. You need to notice it with a passive perception check that happens near where you encountered the doppelgangers.

If you find the murder weapon and talk to the woman running the temple, she will tell you that your next step is to go find Inspector Valeria.

I didnt find the dagger the doppelganger talked about. I explored every inch of the area and dont remember getting even a failing perception check or whatever.

But it's probably safe to assume all my party members failed the check if there was one

In that case, if you want a direct "do this to progress the quest":

1) Go to Wyrm's Crossing
2) Go to the Flophouse
3) Go to the top floor (up stairs, and then up a ladder)
4) Open the wardrobe
5) Search the room. Read the documents. Take the documents.
6) Go across the street to Sharess's Caress. Go upstairs and find Valeria. Show it the documents you found.

Is there anybwaybif still getting the dagger? It sounded like it would go good on my rogue
