[SOLVED] Cannot activate the wayfarer's stone in chapter V

[muni]

Hello, as the title says I have a problem activating one of the wayfarer's stones placed in the refugee's cave. I tried casting signs in sequence given by Kalkstein - Aard, Igni, Aard - but it didn't work. The other two stones, however, can be activated without any problem using sign sequences mentioned, among other places, in the game guide. Did anyone else encounter such issue and if so, (how) did you manage to solve it?

It has diffferent combination. (1=Aard, 2 = Igni)

The stone that leads to the refugee's cage is 121

To the striga crypt 112

To the old mine 221

Yes, the first sequence is the one I tried. Interestingly and unfortunately for me it's only the first stone that I'm unable to activate - the other two from the striga's crypt and the old mine work just fine.

At last I've made it! I'm not sure if this was caused by my previous attempts, but the correct sequence was Aard, Aard, Igni, Aard.

Alex's codes are correct, but you may need to save, then load the game first - it worked for me.

For anyone still having trouble: What worked for me was doing the old mine part over again. It's a small mine, so it's only like 2 min lost.

I think I went wrong from the start, so after I did it again the first time correctly, it worked.

It's not that the correct sequence is aard ard igni aard, is that for some reason, the first time you do it, the first sequence seems to be 4 signs long, the first input doesn't register for some reason, so you can do whatever then aard ignir aards and it should work, or alternatively, you can do it wrongly, and then gerald says "that's no the code" and by that point onwards it's all 3 signs sequences, it only doesn't recognize the very first sign.

The real reason for the problems has not yet been mentioned here.

If Geralt has already cast a sign near the stone before applying the correct sequence, that is counted. Even if you then cast the correct sequence on the stone, it doesn't help.

Solution:

Enable subtitles. Now you can clearly see from Geralt's comments when the wrong sequence ends and then start the right one. They are basically sequences of three; if it works with a sequence of four, it's because the first sign ended the wrong sequence and then the correct one followed.
