Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Act 2 Mushroom Cave--Can't Enter

I looked at the map in frustration, but while there is a big rock at the location noted for the Yellow Mushroom, I am unable to find a cave there. The Alchemist said that the entrance was hidden by a rock, but I can't seem to do anything with the large boulder there, much less move it. It does not seem to be "live"...Also, the automaps both seem to show TWO boulders there, but I can see only one on the playing screen.

What am I doing wrong here? Any help is appreciated. I have done just about all the quests (I think), so this is keeping me from advancing in the game....

I had to walk past it at just the right angle to trigger a speech from the DK to my hero about the rock. I was passing it on the east side, I think, coming up from the south. Don't know if that'll help you, but it worked for me.

Have you installed the patch? An earlier version had a bug which could update the quest log prematurely if you fond the alchemist's ingredients before talking to him, picked them up and moved them in your inventory. This in turn would prevent the cut scene at the rock which opens the way to the cave below.

If that is the case here;
[*] Complete all other quests and save the game.
[*] If you have a save before finding the alchemist's ingredients and moving them, copy the 2 story.* files from that save into your latest save, otherwise you can use these files from a save at the beginning of the imp village.
[*] Talk to Altoflix in the north of the village (if required), then the chieftain's son to get the quest to find the alchemist, talk to the alchemist once (only) and head to the cave.
[*] Continue with the game.

Doh! I think the problem may have been that I might not have clicked on the conversation option with the Alchemist promising to get the ingredients. Although I was able to stumble on the other two items, the cave would not reveal itself. Apparently, I did not actually *have* the quest until promising to get the ingredients...

Thanks for the replies!
