de'Arnise hold quest issue

[Eldrane]

Hi I have a completed quest telling me the hold has been cleared but I also have an open quest still saying the keep has been invaded.
How do I progress/complete this quest?
It says Nalia has gone to the palisade awaiting news from Daleson but when I speak with Nalia there all she does is offer to rejoin my party which I don't want her to do...
Any help appreciated, thanks

Do you realize you're asking for a lot?

Basically, it would need somebody to know whether some of the journal entries related to that quest are known to be broken --> http://redmine.beamdog.com can be searched, but their internal bug tracker is not world-readable, and an issue may be fixed in the unreleased v2.4 already. Or it may be broken, but isn't known yet, since there have been various harmless bugs in the game for many years.

Or somebody needs to be able to read your mind and learn whether and how you've finished that quest actually and maybe have found a way to break the journal entries. I mean, Daleson is met early when entering the keep. And one doesn't need to let Nalia join the party, but how much of her post-quest speech related to the keep - and potential stronghold - have you seen? It's all very vague, if you say you "have a completed quest" and all one can do is believe you that you've completed it actually.

Else, I would not worry about the journal entry, if you've really completed the quest and have received a reward and if you don't care about Nalia. On the contrary, if you think you've found a bug and it annoys you, opening a ticket in the bug tracker would be an option.

Just for clarity...
There is a tab in the journal named "Done Quests"
Under this is listed
"The de'Arnise keep has been cleared"

There is a tab in the journal named "Quests"
Under this is listed
The de'Arnise keep has been invaded"

The descriptor for this "open" quest reads
"Nalia has gone back to the palisade to wait news of Daleson"

I can find Nalia at the palisade but can't find Daleson to complete this quest

Any Help appreciated, Thanks

Hard to say without the save to crack open but if I were you I'd install Keeper and scroll through the game states.

Also install Near Infinity and search through the files to see which game state should be set where.

What's problematic here is that normally you would have Nalia in your party, and then she would talk to Daleson very early in the second room after you've entered the keep through the secret passage way. If she's not in your party, you would still meet Daleson that early and talk to him, but you would very likely need to tell Nalia afterwards. And whether that all works as expected, I dunno.

Further, at the end of the quest, Nalia would wait at the main gate and not anymore at the small palisades outpost in the south-west corner of the area.

Well Nalia "was" in my party when I thought i'd completed the quest but then I swapped her out and she went back to the palisaide...

You sound just like me... inevitably at some point I find random quests I didn't finish.
My advice is to (temporarily) take Nalia into your party. Leave one person you could live without for a while. Then travel to de'Arnise with Nalia and see what happens from there.
Sorry if this advice is too late.

If I remember it correctly, the quest ends with the defeat of Torgal, and afterwards one can talk a bit with others, but Nalia will start talking about the keep when walking close to the front gates or trying to leave the area - some players return through the secret passage.

Maybe readding her and walking over the draw bridge or trying to leave the area triggers something.
