Quest: The Final Act - help?

[SpongeMonkey]

I'm doing the quest The Final Act in defiance bay. Basically to move on with it I need to find Oly. I've run around The Salty Mast a dozen times and can't find him. I've spoken to Lumdala, Lora & Elcga so I don't know where he is, or if he is here then where?

I would appreciate any pointers. Thanks

He is just to the right of the door, just past the wall so that he isn't visible from your starting position.

[SpongeMonkey]

Right you are. Yup there he is. Standing bold as brass.

Thanks very much. As in true PoE terms, consider your disposition raised with me.

I have a similar issue; I am also stuck on this quest, but for a different predicament. I know where everyone is, I need only speak to elcga. But she is hostile in the brackenbury promenade; after I met with lady Webb An the Orlan cipher I walked out An was met with a hostile penhelm, from the rogue knight quest. He demanded his affidavit an I refused, he engaged in combat An died. Any time I come back to brackenbury I am engaged by the backers And the final witness. How can I progress this quest? Will I have to slay Kadal for the key? Or is this quest moot?

In that case you've likely hit unrelated NPCs while fighting Penhelm.

Why don't you reload an older savegame? And since you already know Kadal, why not test the possible outcomes yourself? It is a CRPG afterall.

Was resolvin all brackenbury quests an not countin' on that particular glitch as I had jumped the gun before by explorin' in a quest where a man and his wife murder their friend by lurin' him into the cave with a bear. I encountered the man first and he was hostile when I arrived in town and visited the man's house haphazardly his wife told me bout her husband; upon hearin' the news, she became enraged and attacked edér. Aloth tried to intervene An killed her in the process. (He does this a lot btw, may have somethin' to do with iselmyr. Penhelm and his associates never stood a chance) but upon returning to the fields with durance in tow I returned to the cave to tackle the bear. That's when I spoke to his soul, and found out the pair were scumbags anyways. Flash forward, i do not have clairvoyance to see that another quest npc would interfere with progression. Thusly, i figure anyone aggroin me durin' penhelm's fight is hostile. I had also completed the glanfathan amulet between the courtesan, serel an thrystyn in the bar. So I load a save and stealth my way out but anytime I come back to brackenbury they're still hostile. Slew the witness, lose my lead to the groupie kidnappin's. Makes me upset since it just goes swept under the rug just as apathetically it had been til I stepped in. Slew the harlot as well. (Makin' me feel rather silly after payin her for her services an that amulet An only gettin 350 xP for the whole ordeal....)
Update:
I returned from heritage hill: savin' the lil' girl, saeda, and destroyin' the tower, so a courier presents me with a pistol, and upon sayin' farewell, proceeds to become hostile and attack me as well. I have also fought kana's assassins in this burg, so I imagine that brackebury is just hostile territory. I refuse to go back days of progression so I will continue to role with it. See how it develops....

Update: elcga is a permanent enemy. She triggered the justiciars and now whenever she dies she keels over for about two seconds before pickin' herself back up for another round. Ironically fittin for the theme of this game

Sounds odd, too. That man is Nonton, and he is not hostile when you meet him at Valewood for the first time. His circle is green, and you may talk to him. Peacefully. There is no reason to fight. Normally, you would meet him again and his wife within Ingroed's house for some more talking. Without insight from the mentioned bear cave, you don't know what has happened to their friend.

Elcga is not hostile. Penhelm and his soldiers confront you right at the door of Hadret House. Elcga is located east of the water fountain. I've never had unrelated NPCs in the district join the fight without causing friendly fire.

Absolutely not normal. Time to check your installation files! Or you've proceeded to becoming an enemy of Defiance Bay due to killing innocents. What is your reputation with Defiance Bay?

Avoid friendly fire. In games like these, friendly fire is a newbie trap.

Hi, I'm glad someone took the time to peruse my experiences. Alas, I cannot check the installation files, I'm playin' on Xbox (I realize my mistake already lol)
As you stated, elcga is by the stairs leadin' to house doemonel. The penhelm fight took place right outside lady webb's. So your guess is as good as mine. My rep was initially eccentric because I had done all these favors but locked myself out of lilith's quest by murderin' her daughter An the thieves in the basement when they said some rather uncouth thin's. Bringin it to oddity. Somewhat mixed. Thankfully, it's only in brackenbury as it could've put a real damper in my story progression and it ever so slightly affected twin elms, as I now am neutral with 'me.
I have no screenshots but I could take one of the elcga zombie that keels over and gets right back up anytime I enter brackenbury. Kana and durance are noisy, so if I'm not careful she'll chases us around town ever seekin' Kendal redemption.

As for your nonton reply, as I said, I went to the cave with aloth initially but got my ♥♥♥♥ handed to me. It wasn't til after I told ingroed of her dead husband and subsequently slew her that I made it to durance and went back to the bear with three companions in tow for that bear. Once slewn, I learned of what happened, and told him his betrayers had been dealt with. I liked that freedom to solve it another way. No matter, insight for future playthroughs. ^,^

A clear case of ignoring Eder, who apparently didn't raise your interest when he talked to you.

Well, there are multiple solutions for that quest. The only important detail is that Nonton is not marked as an enemy the first time you meet him in the Valewood area.

[AWSUM]

Well, Eder only joined after the creepy hanged woman spoke to me an I met nonton well before reachin the vale 'twas aloth An myself who slew him.
Anyways, that's not the pt, since those resolved themselves An have nothin to do with the glitched elcga.
