The altar corruption (spoilers inside)
Hello all! So I'm at this part where I'm told to sacrifice some of my stamina on the altar in the corrupted tombs. I've gained the passives of "sacrifice" and "painful sacrifice" but I can't seem to do anything to finish the quest. What is supposed to happen here? I keep interacting with the altar but it just says agony rips through me and then nothing happens. What gives? Thanks.

Answer: alright, so I talked to a dev and is indeed a bug, the green explosion was supposed to knock your character out. So what you have to do is go near the altar, bring up the pause menu and press Shift + Alt + U. Then a death symbol will appear on your screen. Press it, and when you wake up the event is complete. Hope that helps any future Google searchers!

You can complete this quest without losing any stamina permanently.

Don't kill the skeleton, he's friendly.

Do the rebuild skeleton quest and complete him so that he's standing in the room, then when the corruption comes he + Oriele eat the corruption, all you have to do is defeat x3 green skeletons. You will avoid any permanent debuffs and the quest will complete without having to die / potentially bug out

My game bugged before that. As soon as I touched it said "here they come!" and nothing happened. It seems like a wiley ol' bug.

I already posted what to do. Pause the game and press Shift + Alt + U to enable killing your character, click it and the quest should be resolved.

Yeah how do you clean the corruption ?

You just die and the quest is complete. Oliele does it.

I must be wrong, I was talking about the corruption in a dungeon on the first map. After your save a skeleton, you can interact with something corrupted and it says "You do not have anything to remove it".

You must join the Holy Mission to be able to do anything with it.

I think prior choices must effect this quest because my friend completed it without having to sacrifice any stamina or getting any option for the skeleton to help during the cleansing. I know because I did it with him in co-op after completing it myself. He had no explosion either. Instead 2 ghosts spawned to fight and he was told to run away from the altar rather than being asked to sacrifice his life force. His definitely isn’t glitched like some people’s it was completed for him.

Yeah, I never had to sacrifice stamina on this quest either. I saw a streamer do it later and was surprised.
So anyone that hasn't found a fix. You can access debug mode, cheating yea, but you can remove the debuffs from one of the menus. Just in case anyone is truly gimped from those debuffs stacking up. I know I was left with 50 stam or so which is nearly unplayable forcing me into grabbing the Monk Passive for more stam.

I wouldn't abuse the Debug stuff or the game will turn into zero fun, but its the only option you have until god knows when the fix patch comes out..........if it ever does.
