If anyone have this problem after 1.04 update, you need to create a new game to solve this problem! Because the update improve the process of this Quest, you don't need to Throw or Move the Pendant on the Pedestal. You only need to USE Pedestal. They improve the game and unintentional create a bug for previous save before 1.04 update.

I play D:OS EE on PS4. I got 1.04 update yesterday. Today, when I try to do The Twin Dungeons Quest, I cannot process the quest. Because both Square Pendant or Round Pendant do not light up when I put it on the Pedestal!!

I am pretty sure that I follow the right step to do this quest. However the Pendant never light up!

Please help me solve this poblem! Thank you.

Have you placed both pendants on the pedestals?

It seems something is not registering properly when placing the pendants, then, rather than just being a cosmetic problem with the sparkle effect.
I'll create a bug report for this.

I'm sure that Patch 1.04 causes this problem. Because other players have no problem to finish the quest to get The mirror inside trophy before this patch. I also checked the gameplay video about The Twin Dungeons on Youtobe to double check if I did something wrong. However, I follow the same method but different result.

So, as I understand correctly, in order to complete this quest I need to create a new game and start everything again? Is there is any way to complete this quest without losing all your progress?

Next week a programmer will be able to check this out with pre-patch saves, and determine if/how/when it can be fixed.

I confirm this !
spent one hour yesterday not succeeding to place the amulet on the pedestral. Tried EVERYTHING for one hour.
looked for a video on the youtube, and the guy just throw the amulet on the pedestral like I did. And it worked.

could you please confirm, and give us a date for a future fix ? Thanks a lot, I don't want to redo my first run, especially that it's an honour mode run (thanks by the way to produce game that give such a difficulty for players ;) I mean it ! )

I am also having this issue with the pedastals not detecting the pendants when they are placed.

Hi All,

Same problem my side! I've tried everything (PS4)

Any idea when this issue will be resolved?

Got this game on XBox One for my son for Xmas and have been playing it with him. Just wrapping up this quest and having the same issue, not recognising when we place either of our pendants on the pedestals, and cannot 'use' the pedestals as I can in my PC version.

Certainly not going to start a new save, so would be good if someone could let me have the fix please.

Many thanks.

I don't think there are any workarounds for this to get the barrier lowered in a save started before the last patch.

I don't understand your last sentence. Are you saying that it can't be fixed ? or that without a patch there are no workarounds for this ?

I meant there are no workarounds, that I know of. It can not be fixed, though, given the nature of the problem and the significant chance of introducing other problems when changing story related data for existing saves.

wow. Do you mean that I've waited one month for this issue to be patched but that it won't be patched ?
you mean your dev can't implement correctly the simple action to put an amulet on an altar ? seriously ?

Whoa whoa whoa whoa!

How is this "solved". I didn't know you can just tell people to start a new game and not know any details about a patch to fix this.

I'm running into this on the Xbox One version.

Seriously how the fresh hell did something that can't handle going along with the basic flow of gameplay "find necessary item, use it on a thing to remove a barrier" get passed cert? Did you not think that anyone would try to do that quest!?

All I know is I have the damn pendants, I put them on the correct pedestals and fuck all happens. I've looked up many youtube videos and it looks like it's a matter of "throwing" them on said pedestals even if they look like they are laying on them all weird.

Why'd you have to try to get cute and make us manually put them on the pedestals when having them function like a locked door and key would have sufficed!?

I personally wouldn't care too much about this quest except there's an achievement tied to doing what should be a fairly straight forward quest!

I assume the OP meant solved as in figured out.

The pendants work in a new game. Obviously when testing for compatibility issues these dungeons were not done in an old save (the focus presumably being on main plot quests), though should have been (while there is no practical way of testing all possible permutations of starting and continuing quests between old and new game versions, there was a change to this in the patch).

ok it should have been, but wasn't ... we get that.

so, when will it be fixed ? do you understand that we won't do the game again just for this quest ....
