How to access Secret Stash (Get Junior quest)?

[Ashyne]

I need to access the secret stash behind the wall and there are red clues detected in witcher sense in front of the wall which is highlighted (but not breakable by sign) and I cannot interact (examine) both the wall or the clues. Bug?!

Look around with the sense, there's a switch that lights up red as well

i can only extinguish and light the torch (highlighted red) but it does not open the wall door.

I think it was underground/arena
It's to the right of the wall

I think he extinguished it first for me as well. Just keep interacting with it at different angles, its the switch that opens the door.

I am now certain my game is bugged. Since I watched an online help video and the other person did exactly the same thing (interact with wall torch) and immediately the door opened. Whereas I have been interacting with it so many times but it just ignites/extinguishes and another thing is that Geralt doesn't say anything when using Witcher sense in front of the door for me. The other player's Geralt mentioned something.

Did your Geralt say anything when using Witcher sense infront of the door? My Geralt does not say anything. And the marks on floor cannot be examined. The wall torch can be interacted with (ignite/extinguish) but cannot open the door.

I have the same problem. Can't interact with the torch or the marks on the floor next to the hidden door. Seems like a bug as there are many other reports of the same thing round the web. To bad CDPRed forums are down at the moment. Sucks as it is one of the main quests.

I am having this same issue. I have tried loading prior saves and everything and it is still not working. I can't believe this is a main quest and this was overlooked! This sucks because I was having a lot of fun playing this game but I refuse to waste my time with this game right now until these game breaking bugs are fixed.

light the torch 1st and then interact with the torch again..

Anyone have any luck resolving this issue

[always me]

just do it slowly, 1st it will light the torch, then witch sence and interact again

Alright heres what I did the first time around, I got to the entrance to the arena and fought my way inside, got all the way through and couldnt get into the secret stash.

NEXT I loaded to an earlier save and paid my way, fought through all the crap to come and was able to access that stash after finding the note to igor which is where you first talk to him. go there after looting his body.

Hopefully this works for you guys.

Solved it by standing as far away as possible and inching my way closer to the torch. Was hugging the wall to the right.

Guys I've just logged in here to help in case any others will have the same problem as stated before. Geralt needs to say something about scratches on the floor as you approach the wall, and only then the torch to the right gets usable. If he says nothing it means that script didn't work properly and you need to load the game and start over (i think you need to read the letter you get from the room before).
I'm giving you this tip because i spent so much time trying to get the right angle on the torch when the actual problem was script not advancing in the quest.
Cheers :)

Say, what would happen if its too far forward? Say that no such previous save was available. What then? Can something be changed manually in the folders to make Geralt react?
And does this bug make you stuck in the questline, or can you speak with roche and still make it through?
