Count Reuven's Treasure - stuck now for hours.

Cannot interact with the Froglet, then once through the portal, cannot deactivate the magic barrier using ignii on the two pyramids. Is this another bug???

[boeriemore]

My sincere apologies. The quest is "Of Dairy and Darkness"

[SA Turak]

I would say so. Your best bet is to load an earlier save if u have any and see if it helps.

[boeriemore]

OK. I have just watched a video and it appears that I should have gone to Trish with the Lizard Figurine I bought for her to work her magic on it. Will have to restart the quest although I have no idea how anyone could possibly know that they needed to buy this object.

I think you got things a bit mixed up. You don't take the lizard figurine to Triss but place it in the pentagram on the floor in Aeramas's house. It opens a portal.
You must have done this right if you got as far as the magic barrier inside his lab.

In his lab you find a figurine, that is the one you take to Triss.

The other figurine you bought from the merchant opens a portal inside to get to the room with the barrier. To lift the barrier just keep trying to cast Igni at the little pyramids, it took me a couple of tries.

Casslets, you are increasing my confusion.
I have been replaying this quest, bought the lizard figurine, took it to Triss who performed her magic on it. This is exactly how it happened in a video I watched and these were the Witcher's thoughts on buying it.i.e."I must take it to Triss".
I then once again went to Aeramas's house and again battled to get to the destination point.
Eventually I got to the last barrier, the one before the lab, but it simply transported me back to the stairs overlooking the cheeses. I have now literally been going around in circles.
Possibly I have caused this problem as a result of previously going to the lab without the figurine
thereby causing the Froglet to be "friendly"???

[boeriemore]

I understand what you are saying. As previously stated, I HAVE been to the lab but without the figurine. Presumably this is why I could not fight the Foglet. I restarted the quest but had trouble finding the dealer's location, then finding Triss's house as the mini map did not lead me to either location. I watched the video once again and believe I went through one portal too many. Must have taken the wrong path. Will try again today. Thanks for your input.

[boeriemore]

I finally completed this quest. Before I jumped over the gap to the lab the Foglet appeared again
as friendly. I though the same problem existed but on crossing into the lab it became hostile and
from there I finished the quest with no problem.
