Elemental Questline Bugged?

vokuldovahkiin1

Trying to do the Elemental Questline. I go to Arch Druid Early Dawn and get the crevice mission (Ebon Downs) long story short I get in the cave Minsc kicks open the first barrier fight the enemies before the second barrier everything is fine. When I get up to the second barrier stone I can't open it. Minsc is using his combat trash talking (sorry folks I can't stand Minsc), I can't open the barrier however my companion morphs through and is in combat with the Cultists on the other side. I have made the attempt now fifteen times only to have to burn a teleport scroll either to Protectors or Moonstone Mask. Has anyone else had this issue before I go through the hassles of a bug report, or is there a work around I haven't heard about to address this problem?

I recently completed this on an alt without issue, so it is do-able. I'm on PS though.

Just a couple of thoughts that I don't see specifically mentioned here. It seems like it might be a 'stuck in combat' issue, so have you tried:
a) waiting until your companion wins the fight on the other side where it teleported? or,
b) dismissing your companion before approaching so that it cannot get through and initiate combat?

Also, I fully agree - I'd pay good Zen for an option to muzzle Minsc.

Yes I have done both of those things. The only thing that changed was then there was a back spawn of enemies at the entrance.

The only other thing that comes to mind for me is, sometimes those mobs who spawn out of the mounds in the ground are a bit slow to appear. I've moved forward thinking I was done, only to have to go back to a room to clear a few more. Of course, if you've tried 15 times, I'd assume you'd have noticed if that was the case here.

Sorry, no other ideas here. If you haven't already, I suggest submitting the bug report.

@stryker80#0653 The only thing that I have narrowed down is that the issue starts shortly after Minsc recovers Boo. Typically after dealing with the second group of mobs you cannot exit combat phase. The only work around I have found is to use my VIP teleport to moonstone mask, From there exit out of there Travel back to Ebon Downs. Re- enter the dungeon, The enemies you killed are still dead and you won't see Minsc again until the final boss fight area. Still it is annoying and tedious to have to rinse and repeat just to get the campaign going.
