Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues Aureus lighthouse quest completion bug

I picked up the quest to investigate the lighthouse and other areas for Aureus. I went to the lighthouse and talked to the two legionnaires, Lucia and Mallius, at the path to the lighthouse. Went to the lighthouse and killed the undead boss. Returned to Lucia and Mallius and told them what happened. Unfortunately when I returned to Aureus and complete the quest I can no longer interact with him, I just witness Lucia and Mallius spinning a tall tale about the lighthouse. I have tried reloading, stealing right front of him, pick-pocketing him, and attacking him to reset their dialog. I even went off to see if they would go away on their own, I moved along on the Murder quest until I got to the end and need to return to talk to Aureus about what I found and those two legionnaires and still there blabbing at him. Any help would be appreciated.

Please email supportdos@larian.com, with a description of the problem and the report.zip file generated by the D:OS support tool (for the PC version). The report will contain system and game information, any crash dumps, and your saved games. If file size is an issue, any saves not related to the problem can be deleted (so leave your latest save, your save before Lucia and Mallius the second time [and maybe the first time], if available, and the oldest save you have after the second conversation).

Have you tried entering the trapdoor in the lighthouse?
You need to do that to proceed their state...

Yes, i went down into the lighthouse cellar. Talked to the ghost there and got a journal entry about him crashing the ship.

If you explore the Black Cove there is more information about the ghost's situation, though I don't know if that should be required to talk to Aureus (I just never got back to him until I had done both). Even if the guards hang around, though, Aureus shouldn't be in an unresponsive state, even if completing the other quest is a requirement.

Managed to get the two legionnaires to bugger off and turn in all the quests. I ended up having to approach all three, Aureus, Lucia, and Mallius, with my weapon drawn. I started with Aureus and got the standard "put it away" dialog hit option 1 and it closed out leaving Aureus still unresponsive. I did the same with Mallius and still nothing changed but after I approached Lucia and put my weapon down the Aureus suddenly kicked in to the next part of the quest dialog.
