[Spoilers] Burying the Past Quest, need help

[Lucifer Verone]

Ok so I've done some digging about this quest but only after I took a supposedly major step in the quest atleast thats what I think I did.

So I was walking around the whole map of drift wood to find out what to do with Pepper (The chicken) and I stumbled upon an abandoned farmhouse, strangely enough it had dead watchers outside its door, when I went inside to see for any potential loot I came across Gareth and White Magister Jonathan and I got an entry stating 'We came upon Gareth in an abandoned farmhouse, hovering over the unconscious body of a White Magister. We should find out what's going on'.

There was a dialogue but the main point was choosing between 2 options, one was killing the magister and the other was sparing him. So for achievements sakes I first persuaded him to spare Jonathan and after a quick reload i persuaded him to kill Jonathan. Gareth went back to The Lady Vengence and I looted Jonathans body.

Oddly enough I got the quest Burying Past and upon looking at the quest the most recent entry stated 'We've obtained Jonathan's ring. This will serve as proof of his death.'. That confused me, so I decided to go to Gareths parents house and check if he was there since he said he was going back to the ship. Oddly enough he wasnt there, and when I arrved at his house all I saw was 2 people presumably Gareths parents hiding behind a cart shivering. I decided to look around and found Jonathans Glove, and that gave me an entry of 'We've found a pair of gloves. Perhaps they belonged to the Gareth's parents' killer.'. This made me really confused and the quest went nowhere after that.

When I returned to The Lady Vengence I saw Gareth there, when i went up to talk to him he just said something about leaving him alone while he deals with his demons, after that the quest went nowhere.

So, the whole TL:DR of this post is that I think I screwed up somewhere, don't know how to go about this quest the proper way and proper order to get a good ending, please help. And sorry for making such a long drawn out story and making you read all that.

I am having a similar issue, but I didn't see Gareth on my ship and I am worried about leaving to the next area and potentially leaving him at the graves. I convinced him to let me hunt Jonathan down and now he won't recognize Jonathan's ring my inventory, or when I trade it to him, or when I throw it at him. Even if I consume his parents' souls it doesn't progress him.

OP, Gareth's parents are in the two graves in front of the house. You seem to have skipped ahead and found Gareth and the killer (which sounds like a viable path through his story). Some of the logs seem to be informational rather than actual sequential quests - I'd recommend RP'ing and just seeing what happens later in the story.

If you go to the black pits, Jonathan is there if you told him not to kill him and I believe that concludes his quest. But he does say the thing about dealing with his own demons until the next act if I remember, even after quest is closed, so I think you've finished his quest.

Damn, didnt know that was a possible option, so that means that Garteh's parents are definately dead right?

Probably depends on if you kill Jonathan? If I remember, he was the one who killed the parents.

So who are those guys hiding behind the cart?

I don't remember anyone hiding behind the cart, but I may just have not notice them... are they still there? If so, I'd talk to them. If not... maybe try spirit sense?

They are called Lyn and Conway Pryce, presumably Gareth's parents?

>> Got the same problem here: I killed Jonathan in the house just south of "Driftwood fields" waypoint, Gareth stomred off onto the Lady Vengance muttering something about inner demons (can't be talked to), the two people around Gareth's Family Farm are very much alive, after I cleared the house of some beetles. After they get back into the house, no more dialogue possible.

I think the devs just didn't complete this quest.

According to (divinityoriginalsin2 wiki on "Burying the Past quest) "If you kill White Magister Jonathan for Gareth when he is standing over his unconscious body and convince him to relax on the ship, his parents won't die and will be at the family farm. You cannot interact with them and they cower behind a cart. Jonathan is then replaced by White Magister Kari in the Blackpits interrogating Gwydian Rince."
