Rainbow bridge bug.

[gilbert12113]

I am at the point where the bridge is open. The main quest says "talk to Heimdall, talk to Wodan", and both boxes are checked. The bridge is open, Heindall and Wodan are there with their exclamation points on the minimap (not on the screen), but I can't talk with them. I can go and fight a few giants, then I can't close the gate that (remembering of my "normal" playthrough) I have to close: the winch is highlighted when moving the mouse on it, but is not interactive.

Closing the game and steam then re-starting it does not resolve the situation. Doing something else (go here and there, then come back to the bridge) does not change a thing.

By the way, the device for opening the bridge is NOT broken. I suspect the bug was created by this sequence : heimdall wants to open then close the bridge, the device has been sabotaged, then explodes. At this point Wodan was not there any longer, I need to talk to Heimdall for pursuing the game. I decided to first get another weapon in the stash, created a portal, did my stash management thing, saved and closed the game.

See https://steamcommunity.com/app/475150/discussions/0/1488866180596418908/ and https://steamcommunity.com/app/475150/discussions/0/1488866813756582620/ for similar (?) problems at the rainbow bridge.

Help!

The bug was resolved by defeating the Mimer. In between the bridge and the Mimer, I had no indication of what to do (except for the dialog spoken by Wodan as per above) nor progress milestone of the main quest.

I'm still stuck. The bridge did not open even after Heimdall says "Stand back." I was expecting after the recent patch, this would have been fixed, but to no avail.

I made the same mistake of quitting the game after I reached the bridge. Wodan didn't appear after I started the game next time.

I solved my problem by doing this:
Go to directory C:\Users\winUser\Documents\My Games\Titan Quest - Immortal Throne/SaveData/Main/_<CharacterName>/Levels_World_World01.map/Normal

Sort by date, and move 3-4 latest .que files to somewhere else.
Start the game and check the quest.
If you still don't see Odin\Wodan, remove some more .que files and try again.

You'll get some set back on quest progress but at least you'll be able to move forward.

This time cross the bridge and activate first regeneration fountain on the wall and save the game. :P

Amazing this STILL hasn't been fixed even with the beta for the new expansion. I'll now be removing files to try to resolve the issue. It does seem, so far, the act 1 big that ALSO prevented progress, SO FAR, has been fixed.

I've had all sorts of problems in that position. Some of them were caused by stopping Odin to chat with him after fighting him before the town area, making it so he didn't appear in the next area. Others were caused by doing things in the wrong order, or again chatting to Odin too many times in quick succession so he didn't get to take necessary actions inbetween.

Curiously enough, I also found I could walk through the gate onto the rainbow bridge even when the gate was up, just casually phasing through it.

Most of them got resolved by closing and rebooting the game, or by porting back to town.
Still though, I'd strongly recommend backing up saves before the fight with Odin and the Loki reveal. That is the trigger-point that can make a lot of things unstable.

I got through act 5 by deleting my quest file and then going through the entire campaign. I was sick and it took me about 2 days to get back to where I was. Just deleting a few files didn't work, so I ended up trying to redo act 5 TWICE, totally deleting the quests was all that would do it for me, because I didn't know how to properly revert the quest otherwise.

The problem started because I saved and quit I think. The problem was the Mimer quest didn't appear. I actually also had no idea where to go in the campaign to get to Mimer, which may have made the problem worse. But I don't remember quests triggering again if you miss the opportunity earlier. You have to do it right I think.

Atlantis expansion is a dream for me. I love the level design, wish it was a bit longer, and forgot it's meant to do it before act 5 as well. However, Atlantis monsters are HARD, so maybe I'm fine. Still playing through it, getting tougher, plus I'm several levels higher with extra skill points for doing the main quests again, so there's that for measurement as well.

I hope I can keep playing to get to the new acts! I usually burn out on TQ early. :D But for now, I found I enjoy the more vanilla experience without mods. It still needs more stash space, but now that we can create a quick mule that actually has all the inventory slots to start, it's much easier to mule and get more stash.

Just follow further to Mimer Maze and kill Mimer. Quest will be updated.
