Chests with 3 Dots, always locked even after 90+h

[BiTTERS]

I've been playing Dragon Age: Trespasser for about 90 hours now, and I've encountered numerous chests with three blue/greenish dots. I can't interact with them, no riddles, companions, or the Dagger of Solas. I've seen quite a few of these chests and I'm puzzled about what I'm missing. While I won't be able to unlock everything in this playthrough, I'm determined to open all of them in my second one. Can anyone shed some light on what I've overlooked?

Might've something to do with the essences from various bosses but that's just a guess. Personally, I could open all the chest I've came across.

I have this EXACT bug !!! There is a lot of threads online also. EA havent fixed it at all and was supposed to have fixed in the first patch but NOPE. Solas dagger is no longer on my rook, cant use it on altars, chests etc. and theres quests I cant even complete because of it, like opening the stone wall used by the dagger. Just have to hope they fix it. As right now.. It isnt working and bugged.

Like the person above me wrote, maybe you didn't pick something up after the battle. Can't really say as they always open for me.

Makes sense, hopefully they fix it

Ah thank you

I lost the ability to interact with all three dotted chests, all Fen’Harel Altars, and the Elven statue alters after about 10 hours into gameplay. I regained the ability to interact after The Seige of Weisshaupt but then lost it again when I returned to dock town. This is an unacceptable bug because it's huge and as far as I can tell is a problem a lot of players are having. I know EA knows about it and yet it hasn't been addressed in either patch.

Same for me. It seemed to happen about the same time as the patch, but I can't be 100% certain.

I have to search hard about this bug to find it. They need to fix it. I had several chests that wouldn't open (no dagger) and the manor quest wall I can't open. I did the seige and went back to a couple of chests that wouldn't open before and they worked. Now any new chests I find are back to not working.

The bug with the Dagger of Solas is no longer there on a new character created with patch 2. I think all savegames created with patch 1 are corrupted. I've even gone back to a savegame created without a patch and I can use the Dagger of Solas.

I am playing right now with a character made a day after patch one dropped and I don't have this problem, in fact I've never had it so it must be something else.
I've tried activating a Solas statue leaving the area and coming back later for the statuette and it worked fine.

Did you try forcing a normal dagger to identify as the Dagger of Solas? duuuuhh

I just made a fresh new game and rushed through the game. I got one wolf statue in the crossroads to work and then I got to one of the chests in the crows map and its bugged and wont open so this bug is still active.
