Grave Hoard bugged
The mission Grave-Hoard is bugged for me. I wasn't paying attention that the quest marker was still at "Enter the Grave Hoard" and I had opened the puzzle door before I realized it. I backtracked and tried to make it progress, but it is stuck on "Explore the Grave Hoard", even after I completed the dungeon and went through all the cutscenes. I had to backtrack and lose 2~ hours of progress.

What puzzle door do you mean? There is literally only one way in that I'm aware of.

The door you need to open to progress. With the little rotation puzzles.

Can you maybe show me using the timestamp in this video?

The issue isn't the puzzle, it's a bug.I can move past that but the quest doesn't update so it won't finish the quest

That is strange. Watching the video the mission never says "Enter the Grave-Hoard" exactly. It says "Explore", "Open the ancient door", etc.

Never had an issue with "The Grave-Hoard" quest. There are 12 steps to this particular quest, but not one is called "Enter the Grave-Hoard". The full list of 12 steps are:
1. Go to The Grave-Hoard
2. Explore the Grave-Hoard
3. Examine the Door
4. Restore Power to the Ancient Door so you can go deeper in to the Grave-Hoard.
5. Continue exploring the Grave-Hoard
6. Kill the Eclipse in the Armory
7. Continue exploring the Grave-Hoard
8. Use the Console
9. Continue exploring the Grave-Hoard
10. Kill the Deathbringer and the Eclipse troops
11. Search the War Room for information
12. Climb up the Escape Elevator

There's only one way to enter the Grave-Hoard, but if you are NOT on the quest the entrance will be blocked and Aloy will comment about not getting in that way. When you say you "had to backtrack and lose 2~ hours of progress" what exactly did you do? You provide very little information other than the quest is bugged for you because it didn't update and progress.

Nothing wrong with asking for help, but you have to remember that you are the one with the problem which means you are the one with all the information, so you have to be the one to provide as much information as possible so that others can actually help you. If people have to try and guess what you mean it just slows down the whole process of helping you with whatever the problem is.

Yeah except I gave you what you needed. The quest marker never moved past "Enter the Grave Hoard", and I did not notice until I got past the puzzle door. I tried to backtrack, and only moved it to "explore the Grave Hoard". I was able to move through the rest of the mission, but it never completed, because it never moved past "Explore the Grave Hoard", step 2. So I had to reload an earlier save, since the main quest. Wasn't. Moving.

Except this is the first time that you've made any mention of the quest updating to "Explore The Grave-Hoard" after you backtracked! Nor did you clarify what you meant by "backtracked", except now you say you loaded an earlier save!

I realise this may be a bit of a surprise, but nobody can read your mind! If you don't provide the actual information then nobody else can actually know what you mean!

Bro, "backtracked" can also mean "walked back" which is what some people do when they're trying to trigger something. Furthermore, you even described walking back and trying to trigger stuff. Your description made it seem like you wandered around for 2 hours.

So unless you say "I loaded an earlier Save" people won't know that you loaded an earlier Save. Besides, you're the one asking for help and getting snippy because you weren't entirely explicit and used some ambiguous wording.

And speaking of ambiguous wording, is it still bugged out for you, or did loading an earlier save fix it?

You're right, that's on me, my apologies for missing that little part of your initial post.

So that simply indicates that you might have somehow failed to actually EXPLORE the Grave-Hoard. That doesn't mean the quest is bugged, it just means that you didn't complete things correctly, which would have then prevented the quest from updating! Did you miss doing something? Nobody can know because you seem to be very reluctant to provide actual details of what you did and/or exactly what happened! *shrug*

YOU are the one who had a problem! Nobody can do much to help you if you refuse to even answer simple questions and provide some actual details and/or information. Nobody wants to waste their time trying to guess what you might have done, or what you might have missed, or what you didn't do, or whether the game itself might have messed up somehow!

Did you ever resolve this? I have the same issue. Quest says to enter the grave hoard, but i've already been through the entire dungeon, killed the boss, left and got all the expected dialog.

Now when I return no mobs spawn, the door to the boss room stays locked and the quest indicator doesn't move from the main entrance.

Tried looking for a save editor that can modify quest status but can't find any. I didn't realise the quest was bugged until a lot later so ended up losing all my previous saves.
