Bhaal amulet is not registering

[Bee]

i have the amulet but it's still not letting me in the door nor is the quest progressing after picking up the amulet?

Yeah, so ... here's the thing. It's not just THAT. I kinda wish we could coalesce all these threads into one mega-thread.

Hotfix 16 broke orange quest items, is the long and short of it. That amulet and a whole bunch of other stuff you might need to for opening doors, giving to people, etc., etc.

BUT ... not for everybody. And nobody knows the exact culprit. But it definitely appears to be mods. One person so far has said disabling all mods removed this issue.

I encourage you (or anybody else) to try it, and then report back your results. It SEEMS to be mods and we should try and determine that for sure. Then the next fun adventure is figuring out which one(s) are causing the problem. It WASN'T the one I thought.

My speculation is whatever isn't playing nice with Hotfix 16 may need to be updated.

I imagine something very banal I keep telling almost every update. It is so bothersome and impossible to keep the misinformation spreading where seemingly all affected people jump on the easiest conclusion regardless if it is wrong.

Again, I don't know what is misinformation or not. On Reddit threads, some PS5 users said they were having the problem. And they CAN'T use mods. But, they could be mistaken. In the end, I agree, figuring this out and getting to the bottom of it should be our goal.

I don't have it yet, but I could be getting it in 2 weeks (unless I turn off auto updating, never have), so maybe we can have it figured out by then.

I am no longer sure about the goal. I keep asking since yesterday for people to share their savegames. None ever did. Most cases seemingly because of mods. So no further checking is possible.

I was able to test some of it on a new game - some people were having issues not being able to use the rune on the nautiloid, shovels from inventory and orange border items. Personally, I was able to use the rune, shovels and Shadowheart was able to interact with and have her special early cut scene with the artifact, so it definitely isnt something I was able to recreate - but I don't have mods

Mhm. I have used milestones savegames for troubleshooting and I played a fair while yesterday so I was able to check more than half of the reddit post people refer to without encountering ever any issue on whatever I have checked.

The most likely culprits at the moment are

a) mods related, specifically DWrite.dll

b) cache related, typical update issue I have been always warning about

I am quite frustrated due to the spread of those misinformation about the game being bugged here and there without seeing proper confirmations. But also about the fact that once more, seemingly countless people have those problems but my relevant guides unused at the same time. The last part is a personal frustration, but it is nonetheless weird if you have like dozens of Mac users complaining about multiplayer e.g. but then the workarounds are not used.

Hence day by day I am less eager to help people in that regards ~

I Shoot the hanging corpse near by the door and the door just opened.
You should try it.

Holy Molly, it worked, thank you so mucj ! I shot the corpse and the blood drenched the Bhaal's symbol on the ground, and the door opened. Must be another way to enter the temple than with the amulett. The problem is probably not fixed, but at least, the door opened

You'll still need the amulet for the door of the temple proper. Or be a Dark Urge. So I don't know if that really helps.

I have found a solution my friends if you have mods enabled that require modfixer just download script extender here https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2172?tab=description then Extract the DWrite.dll into your Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\bin. and it fixed my game i was able to progress after that

The solution for me was to remove the mod "Party Limit Be Gone" and have only for party members before i get the amulet when i killed Serevok, i did remove any other Bhaal amulet from my inventory (mod "all items"), if you get the dialog at the first door with the hanging bodies, everything's fine
