"The altar sits before you, defiantly silent"
I did the Drowned Temple quest and right now, I'm at the part where I have to pray to Vrogir altar.

I've seen videos of others praying to it and working. However, when I pray to it, I get the message "The altar sits before you, defiantly silent". Is this a bug or am I missing something?..

Addendum: IIRC, and this may have been fixed with a recent patch?

The altars will stop working once you complete either the Sallow Mans / Alexander's quest and they info dump you on how to pass the Lunar gate. Which sucks as that also means that you can no longer get the achievement. Furthermore on my end I couldn't do the quest at all as the pillars bugged out and were non-interactable.

Thankfully there is an alternative route.

Techniquely speaking, -- as you probably know -- you don't need the altars post-Sallow (if you deal with him) or Alexandar (at least when he drops the book of answers on the altar signs, which he didn't last time I played).

But not only do you not get the achievement, I've been unable to get the achievement when the alters do work...I've finally made up to like 5 of 7. I know others have chugged along on this in similar fashion. I'm missing quite a few achievements anyway. Hopefully, the progress on gameplay bugs is more timely. This being a relatively minor thing.

I see, thanks for the responses! I'm progressing into the quest as part of the Lunar Gate now. I'm hoping they fix this...

There's really nothing to fix. The only reason to pray at the altars is to learn the symbol.

I see what you're saying but it's a very ambigous system and the first playthrough it can be especially confusing; especially if you don't have the symbols (and don't google them)-- which you may not when this occurs.

Nothing to fix? Only reason? What about the Achievement for praying at all the altars?! That's both something to fix and a definite reason to pray at the altars.

Right now I'm getting the same message as the OP, the Vrogir altar is silent.

Why should players be denied the Achievement just because they happened to do the quests in a different order than what the devs intended? If that's truly how it is, then this is extremely unfair & terrible design. Especially since the game gives no warning whatsoever that you will lose your Achievement because the game arbitrarily decides to take away from you the opportunity to get it for no good reason.

No, it darn sure hasn't been. I'm using v3.0.226.993 and I'm still running into this bug and/or horrible design as described in the OP.

Same here. Why make it an achievement or why allow us to complete quest in different manner if this type of crap happens.
