Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems ACT 2/3 Softlock bug - Stuck in Wyrm's Lookout, unable to progress to Act 3

Bumping this thread instead of starting a new one because I have the same problem and I figured its better to keep the information together.. I have tried the other solutions in this thread.

I haven't updated to patch 8 yet because I wanted to complete this game first.

I have completed act 2. I headed to the road to Baldur's Gate, went through, rested at camp, got the Gortash cutscene, ended up at Wyrm's Lookout, it was night (no ambushers or guardian cutscene), I rested, it went day at the same place. I can't leave camp or rest again. I can quick travel back into the shadowlands, and the fog of war has returned plus a lot of enemies are back alive,

I suspected something going on with Astarion. When I made him bite the drow, there was no discussion back in camp after. And he made the deal with Raphael, I killed Orthon, but Raphael has never come back despite many rests.

I'm Durge, and going evil, tactician, killed most of the people I would have potentially needed to talk to including nightsong and Jaheira. The shadowlands is very empty! I have revisited Moonrise, Shar's Gauntlet and Last Light.

I've tried killing Astarion before the road to Baldur's Gate and leaving him with Withers, then tried killing all other party members 1 by 1 and going into the road again
I reloaded from the end of the Myrkul fight and walked from there back to the western road (I do get the dream guardian talk to me right outside the front door telling me to seek allies in BG) but nothing has changed the outcome. Sometimes when I spawn at Wyrm's lookout my whole party is at the top of the tower, usually I spawn next to Minthara.

Have been using a couple mods this run. Poly mod and unlimited party mod. I have tried disabling/uninstalling both mods still hit the same problem that the ambush doesn't happen and I'm stuck in the camp. Its also not the solution above - I did the Creche and now cannot return to that area. There is nothing unusual or incomplete in my journal - it just tells me to go to Baldur's Gate.

Any suggestions for how I can get through this? I really don't want to lose the playthrough!


Edit to add;
I have now tried updating the game as well. I got a new inspiration for Minthara when I loaded and a bit of new dialogue for her that I hadn't seen before, but same major bug.
