Bug for Purifier quest?

[Lemmie]

I'm working on the purifier quest, and I've gotten four notes. When I went to the dead tree to get the fifth note, the note wasn't there and there weren't any enemies (as there should be according to the wiki and various walkthroughs)? The ornate chest and
Glowstone backpack were there though.

Are those walkthroughs outdated, or is this a glitch? Tried going in and out a few times, no change.

Update: this is on definitive edition

Update 2: I tried skipping 7 days of game time with the debug menu, which successfully reset the dungeon (minus the immaculate by the fourth note. However, opening the gate originally consumed the key, and resetting the dungeon closes it again. The key is not where it originally was, nor anywhere else in the dungeon (wiki says it's available on a table near the door *after* completing the quest; something I'm trying to avoid currently).

I don't know about such a bug in Purifier quest, for me it worked well a few weeks ago.
But I got a similar bug in another quest in Hallowed Marsh.
Went in, and there were no enemies. My task was to pull a lever and open a locked cell, but I wasn't able to interact with this lever.
I tried going in and out, restarted game, waited some days...but still didn't work.
My solution: I runned to another area (Chersonese), slept there one night and entered Hallowed Marsh again. This reset of the whole area did the trick for me and finally I could pull this lever and interact with the NPCs inside the cell.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to try that. Were you able to successfully get the fifth note when you did Purifier recently?

I've played through the quests at least a dozen times and I've never not found all 5 scrolls, although there are times when I miss one due to forgetfulness. Never had Dead Tree be empty of monsters though. Always found an Immaculate and an Illuminator there. Are you on Vanilla or Defed? Also, you don't actually have to leave the Hallowed Marsh. Just don't go back to Dead Roots for 7 days. You can wander the Marsh if you want or just sleep in Monsoon for 7 days to do it. Heck, you could pitch a tent outside the tree!

Good to know, thank you! And playing on defed. Had meant to ask if it was a difference between vanilla and defed, but forgot to include originally.

If you do happen to fix it by resetting the area, maybe drop a note about this in the Bugs Section? They're not working on vanilla any more but there could be a bugfix for this in Defed. The devs are apparently still looking in from time to time so it couldn't hurt.

Thanks! Put this in the update, but I tried skipping 7 days of game time with the debug menu, which successfully reset the dungeon (minus the immaculate by the fourth note.

Sooo I think I'm basically softlocked out of that bit of the quest 😅

i am not sure why this matters so much. the 5t node isnt needed for anything important. if you could enter dead tree and the bag was there youre all set. the bag is the sole major reason to enter this place as this bag cannot be gotten anywhere else. since you got the bag you didnt really miss out on anything important believe me.

the key is dropped by readin the 4th note during the quest only.

you got the bag. thats the bonus reward thats unique and matters. the rest of the quest doesnt need to be done as you at most gain 25 silver and 1 gem more. which is... nothing. you can get more silver within 5 minutes doing other things and silver is infinite. same for the gems.

this will not affect the quest outcome or prevent perfect success conditions.
