Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Technical problems Book of Dead - prob

I'm trying to get the book that Igor wants.

I have entered the cavern...turned off both generators and killed the nest and killed Barnabas. I've gone through the area where the teleporter is next to the large dragon skeleton and in that room are some stairs leading to where the book is.

My problem is at the top of the stairs is a door which is locked and cannot be opened by lockpicking. I'm sure it's not supposed to be there. I've looked round everywhere (or at least I think I have). The book is behind the door. I swear when I first went there there was NO door here but I was finding it difficult and went to go try somewhere else first and when I came back I found the door. I have done loads of other things imbetween and really don't want to reload and lose an hours loot and gameplay.

Please Help!!!
Thanks

PS-- is UK version with latest patch and quest is called "The Book of the Dead"

edit: Okay I just read somewhere I'm supposed to be on the other side of the door and it wont open until the monsters are all killed. I recommend for the next patch an emergency release lever on the opposite side of the door just in case the player gets trapped on the wrong side and would only show up if the door was closed and player on the wrong side.

I'd still love a fix though.

You could try returning later, after going to another area and/or after turning in the quest to defeat Barnabus.

As you read, a couple people had trouble with the second door opening if they killed Barnabus first, when there were no opponents in the second room to kill to trigger it to open. I don't recall if the first door starts off open or closed... Anyway, at least one person returned after defeating Barnabus, doing other stuff and turning in that quest, and there were creatures in the room to kill to get the second door open.

Thankyou very much for the swift reply. I tried that but it didn't work so I reloaded and did it straight away before moving on and it was fine this time. I'm way past that bit now and in some ways things worked out better. I'm enjoying the game very much...fantastic art all the way through and music to die for.
