what on earth is needed to complete the Normad Hollow Halls for the Collector

[woohoo30ca]

I have completed this hall first with another person earlier this week and today i just spent three hours running this solo in there opening hidden doors, smashing every vessel, opening the wodd, silver and gold chests and downing both bosses and looting them yet the quest the collector gives you for this hall never completes.

Out of the three steps in the quest, only the fist two steps seem complete (and i'm questioning the second step as it says get to the end to please the collector) the third step says page not found.

I have read similar threads on this forum, where the quest progression was bugged when you have completed the quest at first in coop on a friends world.
The workaround for this players was to trigger the quest with another char or invite someone else into your world.
In my own world this helped as well in such a situation. I could never get the dialogue with the collector I needed to continue his quest. Only after I entered this world with another char, he was willing to talk to me and gave me the quest.

But when I understand right you're missing one lore page or recipe ?

This seems to be a bug due to the recent changes to quest progression to accommodate multiplayer servers. The unintended consequence is that once you complete a quest with a character, on any world, you can no longer complete the same quest if it's already open on another world because the character no longer triggers the condition for completion.

As mentioned, the solution is to complete the quest (or at least the missing step) with a character that hasn't done so yet.

Yes, the first two steps are white -- meaning from what i seen in other quests are complete, while the third step still says 'recipe not found'.

I did complete this quest on a coop mode with a another player. They got credit and the quest completed. I too was getting the visual cues on the screen but somehow it didn't complete. I only noticed when i went back to solo play that it was outstanding.

The person i was playing with came into coop on my session on Monday and helped get some items that did not show up for me. I counted this as a second completion of the hall.

last night was me just doing it solo so i could take time to bust everything and find all chests and hidden doors. Down the bosses...still nothing. Only difference is, i was able to make the kindelwaste hall key from the collector.

You think if i hop back into the person's server if they host a game again, that the quest would be completed for me if i talk to the collector?
Or, am i going to have to spin up a new character to somehow get this completed with my current main character?

I too have completed the Springlands Hall (solo). Based on the numerous reports of some folks encountering bugs that prohibit the completion of the other Halls, I have decided to wait until the devs make another pass at making sure all the halls work for everyone. To be sure some have completed all the Halls, but enough have encountered progression bugs, I am choosing not to become frustrated unnecessarily. 8-)

Yeah, just a bit annoying that one person got credit for it during coop then doing coop for a run i was hosting so i could get missing recepies the questline doesn't complete. I'm going to check later to see if i join back to his hosted session if it 'might' complete. otherwise guess i'll have to wait for a fix.

maybe an option to drop a quest so a person can pick it up and do it fresh could be an option -- hint devs?

I'm hoping an update/patch/fix fixes this soon. I don't HAVE a different character of a level to run the Hollow Halls quest solo, and it seems kind of a waste of time to grind one up to par just to fix a flag for one quest.

Luckely it's not mantadory to get this quests marked as finished in your questlog.
In case the collector refuses to give you the next goal and location: you can craft the key, then go there on your own and finish the dungeons without a quest.
You'll miss some dialogues and maybey some sentences in your questlog, but that's all about it. The items and recipes you can pick up without to have a quest for it.
Other solution is to invite another player to talk with your NPC, it doesn't need to be your own char. This is "hit and miss", I have no idea why some of my chars can trigger the correct dialogue, and other chars at exact the same point don't get it.

This seems this is a bug. I did the same as you TWICE!
I asked a friend to create a new account and hop into my game, this unlocked the next quest, but the old one is still open. Well I have to live with that, as long as it does not hinder the progress... placed an altar infront of the second dungeeon yesterday, so this is my next solo project, already finished in a group... hope this will go smoothly.
