Several Bugged Quests in Act 3 - Progression might be stuck

[ItsSupercar]

As I play through Act 3 I'm running into more and more quests that can't be progressed properly and have inaccurate objective text.

Investigate Cazador's Palace | Decide Cazador's Fate: The current objective says "he must be stopped" even though I've already killed him. The quest marker leads to his corpse, which doesn't give me any further interactions.
The Pale Elf | Face Cazador Szarr: (same situation) My current objective says that I need to open his coffin lid and finish him off, but it's already open and he's already dead.

The Blade of Frontiers | The Grand Duke: My current objective tells me to meet Mizora at camp to discuss a proposal. When I talk to her, there are no dialogue options except to leave.

Acquire the Gauntlets for Helsik | Return to Helsik With the Gauntlets: I have retrieved the Gauntlets of Hill Giant Strength, but there's no option to give them to Helsik. Guess I'll just have to keep them for myself.

Get Orin's Netherstone | Rescue Orin's Victim: The quest objective tells me that Orin left "another note for us at camp". I've never gotten a note from Orin at camp, and there certainly isn't one there now.

The High Harper | Talk to Geraldus: I have a quest entry describing an ambush at Danthelon's that definitely never happened to me. It tells me to speak to Geraldus, but there's no marker anywhere on the map for him.

Additionally, I think I've somehow locked myself out of the Karlach romance, despite upgrading her heart twice, as she's never approached me the way the rest of the companions have. Wouldn't shock me if that questline is another bugged one.

The Orin quest is particularly worrying because that's a major point in the story, and not being able to progress it would be a problem.

The note Orin leaves was by the stairs to the useable beds (I use the room in Twinsong). its a small envelope with a red seal.

Can confirm the Cazador bug.

No note at the inn, or any camp.

I actually did ONCE see a quest marker at camp indicating Orin's Note. But it was located wayyyy off the map, in the inaccessible void. Haven't seen it again since.

Same thing happening to me, I’m stuck in a bunch of quests in act 3

I also am struggling to find Mizora at camp. This is straight after we spoke to her again after attending Gortash's Archduke ceremony. I've looked all over, long rested, wandered the camp at daytime, still can't find her to discuss her proposal.

"The High Harper | Talk to Geraldus" was also bugged for me, and I think that might be caused to progress too much in the history without following the intended path, maybe(?)


I had a backup save and was able to get ambushed at harper's meeting.

What I think might cause it to get bugged: Once I went to retrieve emperor's gear, I keep going down until I saw a cutscene of orin disguissed as other party member and whatnot, she warned me of getting down deeper without killing gortash first. I ignored that warning and keep going to the sewers until I run into the submersible to iron throne, I didn't venture through that, but at one poiint of all my exploring I got the update of the High Harper mission on the ambush that I for sure didn't witnessed
