[BUG] Tower Outta Nowhere's, STUCK IN TOWER
I'm stuck on the quest "The Tower Outta Nowhere's", and i'm at the point of the quest where the quest marker tells me to "Break the tower’s defenses with the mage’s help."

I give the mage the book required to free him, but once he dispels the magic barrier, he just stands there.

I've looked online everywhere and i've seen some videos of people completing this quest, and when others get to this part, there's a cut scene that initiates once he frees himself. But not my game, in my game the mage frees himself, and then just stands there doing nothing.

I'm literally trapped inside of this tower, i've ran around, meditated, etc. Nothing is happening, he still stands there.

Im in the same situation, soon as he deactivates the barrier he just stands there with the glowing orb. Tried stepping a few steps away (walking, running), tried standing at the opposite end of the room. Tried reloading the checkpoint before he deactivates the barrier and before getting the library key from the lab, still no luck

You might want to reload an earlier save and redo the whole thing. Otherwise yeah... it's a bug.
Got bug too but in very beginning of the quest. I had entered the tower and stacked their. Golem was just standing and doing nothing and the portal to the world was closed, not closed actually but I got message that I don't have a proper key. Quest still bugged in 1.0.5. Is it any info about fixing?

Try saving AFTER the mage lowers his barrier and load the save. Worked for me, and I had the same problem.

I had the same problem. In the exact moment when I was ready to load old save the issue was resolved by itself, i was just standing and did nothing.

Managed to get past this point in the end, as soon as he began to remove the barrier i literally ran straight into the middle of the room (practically where the golem is standing still when you first enter) and luckily enough the cutscene began and wa sable to carry on

Mine is even worst. I am stuck at "Enter the tower." I enter the tower, but once I do I am unable to get out and the objective does not change. I am also unable to interact with any of the objects inside. I ended up loading an earlier save and ignoring this one all together.

Aye you cant leave until the quest is complete, just quickly does the golem request you to leave the area (even though you cant) and after a few moments it results in attacking you because you dont comply?, the quest will only progress once you defeat the golem.

The golem has a blue name instead of red and I can't aggro him in anyway.

Aye i think it should be blue if i recall he warns you to leave the premise (theres no interaction needed i think it does it automatically when you enter the tower) and after a few moments (possibly walk to the barriers maybe) he will then say something along the lines of failed to comply countermeasures activated and then should be able to attack him.

It caught me off guard as i tried interacting with the golem and nothing happened then just explored the room, viewed the barriers and used witcher's sense to see any destructable walls. Then after a few moments the golem began to attack. Hope this helps.

Yeah, like I said. The golem makes no interaction. Doesn't move. Doesn't speak. I too ran around the room looking for clues for about 20 minutes and then tried to leave the portal. I was trapped and forced to revert to an old save. Geralt also doesn't interact with any of the red bodies in the room.

Same problem here. Golem is inactive, nothing happens and objective is still "Enter the tower". I can only examine the bodies, Geralt does animation of examining but no comment or anyting. Last quest I need to do. It's driving me crazy. I need it for achieving lvl 35 to get an achievement.

I've managed to get it to work! When I was going through the portal there was no voice or anything and the golem would not aggro on me, there is a very simple fix for this. Re-load an old save, then run back to the tower. When you get there the door to the tower should be already open, simply close the door and open it again. That's all, when you open the door and walk into the portal everything should be working fine.
