Maybe you had to use the witcher sense in the second room, to see where the lamp is? Mine failed too, but I didn't bothered to find out why..

Anyway, I don't like how things you don't do show up marked like that, like something you failed to do because this isn't really the case, you merely skip an unnecessary step or did things in your way. I think they should mark it in a way that doesn't make it feel like you made something wrong, because you didn't. The Witcher isn't like AC, where they do that 100% sinc thing, which normally make a otherwise enjoyable experience into an exercise of patience..
Any unnecessary step you skip should just vanish or be marked as grey or something like that. Something should be marked as failed only if it will have a consequence down the road, it was something that really mattered.

Same here, no matter what I do that part of the quest fails. No idea why and how to fix it.

Mine didn't fail O.o. When did it fail? Like what did it say?

When you accept the magic lamp quest, it says to follow Keira. Then you need to use the witcher senses to see the door where the riddle is written. Then you get a green check on "search the room using your witcher senses".

Nonetheless as soon as you solve the riddle that green check becomes a red cross.

That section failed for me aswell, but it doesn't really matter as the quest itself does complete.

Failed for me to. Only noticed when I was outside by the boat. I was glad that I keep 3 saves slots becuase of things like this... It shouldn't be necessary, but yet...

So, I reloaded and did the puzzle a few times once more and wehnever I opned the door, that part of the quest switched from green to red and it BOTHERS ME A LOT. I will upload a video of it. Just give me some time and I will record it right now.

For those who failed the Magic lamp quest, were you able to do the Tower of Mice quest afterwards?

My question is, did any of you actually get the magic lamp from that quest? Because mine didn't fail, but I never got the lamp. Some people did get the lamp though.

I haven't failed the quest, I am sure others didn't as well. The quest was successfully done, the thing is, just a phase of the quest that fails due to a glitch or lack of attention, perhaps.

Like when you lit the second plate they say 'Wait, something happened. Yeah, behind that wall. Movement." but there is nothing to check...

And I haven't reached that quest yet, the Tower of Mice.

Here's the video. Sorry for my English and the fps, my PC sucks.

I understood that Keira took the lamp with her until where I played. Haven't checked my invent after leaving the cave, tho...

Keira takes the lamp with her and gives it to you for the quest 'Tower of mice'. That's how it happened for me. Before that, you are not supposed to have it unless of course there is a branch of the dialogue which allows you to ask for it.

Thx, so we are safe to assume that a phase of this quest is indeed bugged. A shame. That's triggering.

Well not necessarily, have any of us having this problem gone back to her after this quest is over? Maybe she offers the lamp then? I still don't quite get the red X though, we didn't fail anything I don't think... So that could just show a red X for no reason, which is a bug, but not really hurting anything I think?

As I said, I still haven't played after I left the cave because of the red X that bothered me. I googled and my search brought me here.

When you fail a quest, we get the message "Quest Failed" and a different music is played. I have failed one while exploring, I was at level 4 and I had to protect a guy in the city. There were many thugs level 12 and he died. And then I was taught how it was when a quest has failed. Of course, I loaded my earlier save and went another way.

But failing a phase of a quest is quite bothersome to me.

Just as an example, I had a hard time accepting the red X in the Witcher 2 when you have to choose paths at the end of the chapter one lol

I wanted to have it all green, but since it will glitch any way and the quest didn't fail, I have just to deal with it, even though I hate to know that something is different there while it shouldn't.
