Orin's Quest needs a work around

[thatcatinthewindow]

Why is the main quest behind a literal locked door that the game can just chose not to give you the password for even when it says you have it? I had several cutscenes and quests seem to reset on me after the last patches but this is ridiculous. I revisited every target and the detective plus went down to the temple but despite the game telling me I have the password it never gives the option to use it! The main quest of the game should have never been behind an inaccessible area with only one way in. This quest was on of my favorites until it broke my game. Just let us cast knock on the damn door.

EDIT: I did figure out what happened. Whatever patch that reset my other quests reset this one too but didn't change or get rid of the journal entry for it. So the journal was still saying I had everything but the quest actually did a weird soft reset in the background. A work around should still be built in just in case because had I not gotten lucky and for the quest to re-pop after finding the scroll again I would not have been able to complete the game.

As guide states, the password is necessary and there is indeed only one door that cannot be destroyed or Knocked.

And as I stated in the first sentence in the post, I have the password but the game will not let me use it which is why a work around is needed.

Have you read the note about where and how to use the severed hands?

Copying this exactly from the wiki, "The only way to get past this door is to know the passphrase, Sicarius"

The game says I have the password, I have the hands, read the note and killed the dwarf. It will not give the option to use the password which is exactly why the password shouldn't be the only way to get in.

Ok. In regards to the "Passphrase" did you manage to detect the hidden Button? You have to press that to actually use the secret word.

Yes, of course I found the button. I have the password and when I click the door it won't let me use it which is why a work around is needed.

Interesting. Are you using any Mods. Now or ever?

AFAIK it is absolutely, completely, 100% required that you must kill the red dwarf, get his parchment with the password on it, and read the parchment. I believe that is the only way through the door in the tombstone shop.

If you had all that and it still won't let you open the door, send a bug report to Larian. They will probably want a copy of your save file.

Also, on the door, do you get the interaction wheel (Two Gears)?

"Sicarius" is the password to get into the Murder Tribunal. To get into the Temple of Bhaal, you need the Amulet of Bhaal from the Murder Tribunal.

The Murder Tribunal located under Candulhallow’s Tombstones; there's a hidden button to access the trap door down to the Tribunal, I believe.

Yes, this quest sucks direction-wise. I had to look up a guide to figure out what I was missing, as I assumed the Tribunal was located in the Temple of Bhaal, not hidden under a random shop.

It does suck which is why another way in is needed. There's way too many ways for it to get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up but I did finally figure it out.

What was the problem (for future folks that have an issue)?

One of the patches reset quite a few of my quests including Orin's. however Orin's quest was the only one that my journal didn't update to reflect that (maybe cause it's a main quest) so the journal was reflecting everything that I found while the game actually did a background reset. Had to go redo everything three times before it registered including finding the scroll to read because the only thing it didn't reset was the dwarf assassin fight.

I did edited the main post to reflect what I found too. :)

Orin needs a reach around.

Congrats on finding it! Am happy it was not a show-stopper bug and only a display update bug. :)
