Magical Prison Quest - Actual Locations not Triggerring

[VersataMeridian]

I've been seeing different posts in Reddit and here on people looking for ways to complete X mobs remaining. The trouble in my case is that I've got the prison Key and when I insert it into the barrier - the voice tells me to kill the 45 mobs. I've gone to many of the locations (had finished them earlier in the guide people are posting) but I see no updates on how many mobs are remaining. All of those locations dont show any mobs and Im seeing no special icon on any of the locations. Is there something else I need to do to trigger the quest?

The number of remaining enemies can be seen on the key. (item description)

The number of the key has to show 0 for the key to open the door. This quest can not be completed before being able to roam around the west of pitax.
Lategame there are scouting projects that can help with finding locations you might have missed.

Did this 1 hour ago. Worked fine for me. Loot is insane btw.

Or you can dimensional door into the prison, bypassing the quest altogether.

You still have to kill the lich tho.

no, u can still go to the locations with monsters after, its just a skip

be warned, its a tough fight

You don't lose anything afaik, the xp is tied to killing the lich.

Yeah, you get a ton of xp just for killing the lich, regardless how you got trough the barrier.

it is a bit exploitative but if you want massive xp early just nuke the lich from outside with aoe spells then teleport into the room with dimension door. but it is a fun fight but wail of the b can really mess you up.

For those who still need help with this, I made a web app which you can drop part of your save file in to see which creatures you have left over and where they are: [removed]

Here is a thread that was talking about the locations. This will let you know what you're missing

Kind of a bad omen this old thread got resurrected on the same day as Wrath of the Righterous was launched - my feelings at this bug was "this is the buggiest fun game in human history" - and not small stuff like clipping etc. Game Breaking Bugs till 1 year into the game.
Lets hope WOFTR doesnt have the same failings...
