Fun with Fungi Quest bug

[Aria of Valor]

I failed the mushrooms riddles but when you go to the end of time to talk to zixzax he doesn't have any new options that progress the quest.

I have this bug as well surprised this got missed through testing.... considering it near a major quest. The only option is to have a save prior to this quest. There is probably a dialogue trigger that fails to fire.

it's not bug. There are 2 ways to do that quest: Talk with Fungi and get all riddles correct and get scroll location info or Make a mushroom soup or smashed mushrooms with potatoes

Pretty sure it's a bug since the journal tells you that you need to talk to Zixzax for more information, which is no doubt how you find out about the alternate method for getting through.

Same problem here. Luckily I have a save right before the riddles...

Errr, I don't see how to do that last one at all. There's no recipe anyone seems to have found for "smashed mushrooms" or "mushroom soup".

One thing is for sure - attacking the mushrooms is not the right answer...

there are 2 mushrooms (N and S) of the dome if you attack and kill both you can access the cabin - use physical damage elemental damage will make them multiply out of control as show above - gl

That's not the issue though, I can find solutions by using knowledge from other players, but the problem is that the quest is bugged and if you fail the riddle (at least some of the time) the quest fails to progress and you have no way to progress except to rely on extrenal knowledge, which isn't something I want to have to do in a game that let's the players figure things out for themselves.

Knight you're right the journal just straight lies to the players. It should've said after you fail the riddles that "Well you effed up big time dumb ash, but maybe if you beat this shrooms to pulpy soup or something maybe the barrier will fall." But no! The journal clearly says you can talk to zixzax and implies you can redo the riddles which in fact you cannot.

As far as calling it a BUG though I don't know about that. Clearly this is writer's oversight. If that can be classified as a bug then I guess it is.

It is a bug, because the normal thing is that after you have talk to the imp, he will tell you to destroy the mushrooms. And it seems at least to me that they will be talking about alternatives to killing them when you tell them about their options. (no idea about the last part, because I got the riddles right anyway, but I would be surprised if they don´t tell you about Maradino when you tell them that you need to destroy them to get rid of the barrier)
