Spoilers ahead:
Unfortunately my game is one of the ones affected by the Malady progression issue where she uses up a bunch of her lifeforce to find the location of the Nameless Isles despite everything. This led to her dying upon arriving to Arx, and since my friend and I did not know of the issue where you must select a certain dialogue option, we ended up playing past that point and I no longer have any saves prior to her death.
So now we have no access to Tarquin, the respec mirror, and our storage.
I have attempted to edit my save file to add the waypoint in, following https://steamcommunity.com/app/435150/discussions/0/1495615865228665274/ but it doesn't work so for now I just have no way of accessing the waypoint and all the stuff that comes with it.
