Stuck at Festival - Dance of Masks

[pinkfloyd9193]

I already went into the Mysterious House where the cultists were, and now my journal says to 'Return to the Festival'
I literally don't have anything to do here and have been running around forever.

Online walkthrough said to go to the main plaza for the closing ceremonty. However, I see no option to do this? WTF am i missing?

I AM using mods, but they haven't caused any issues like this thus far...but that's always a possibility.

Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks!

Edit: Resolved it. Still not sure it's a weird bug or a mod broke it.
I opened Toybox and had to select the Etude 'Started' for 'DLC6_ReturntoFestival'
Once i did that, the Ceremony kicked off.

Well I thought I fixed it, but that just breaks it even more. I think my entire run is broken now, Literally stuck in this place... so depressing.

[pinkfloyd9193]

Ok this time I figured it out for real. When you pick up the quests for your companions I THINK i either turned down Woljif's quest, or I picked it up but journal didn't update. I did a previous save and as soon as I did his quest my journal updated for closing ceremony.

Hope this helps if somebody runs into same issue in the future.

Out of curiosity, which path were you on?

I had no issues with dance of masks with lich path. I mean, the plot didn't make a whole lot of sense for the lich path, but it worked.

I don't use mods, but I don't know if that was the issue, it's pretty buggy lately.

I was on the Lich path. I really think it was due to one of the conversation options i chose for Woljif. Too late to go back now and test it though...

The only party member I had was Camilla. There's no quests or conversations for the undead or the mercs and this was one of my early playthroughs where I, for some reason, decided to ask the others to leave very early into the game (a mistake, in hindsight). So dance of masks was pretty short (that arena thing was pretty long, though).

If anybody runs into this problem again, you can force progress to the next stage of the DLC by completing the "DLC6_PerformanceByMusicians" etude in toybox.

I *think* it may be caused by Bubble Tweaks and the out of combat animation speed up.

Just sharing my findings, because this thread is all I found when googling.

Had the same issue. Couldn't find a fix at the time, so I ended up reloading a save before the DLC and went to Threshold instead and finished the game. Glad, I'm done with this garbage. After 3 years they still haven't fixed all the bugs.

Having the same issue. All my companion quests are marked as completed, so no clue what the problem is. Weirdly Ember is still showing up on the map, which might be part of the problem. Glad I made a save before starting the DLC, shame about losing the cool gear but I'm not wasting my time clicking through a dozen conversations again. Pretty annoyed.

Have the same issue, tried everything listed above but the "Return to the festival" quest just will not complete. Will try to find different act 5 saves for testing

I've found how to fix it—at least, as far as I'm concerned.

Use ToyBox to look for "DL6_ClosingCeremony" among the Etudes.

Open it with the little ▶ arrow next to the name, and click the button titled "Show Object from scene StartThirdRE"

In-game, this should make the button "Wait for the closing ceremony" appear in front of the central stage. You can then click it and proceed with the DLC normally.

Let me know if it works for you!
