Hello,

So I'm playing through the Mark of the Assassin DLC and I've encountered a problem that I think may actually be a glitch--I just want to double-check before I throw the controller across the room in frustration.

In the room before the vault, when the gates come down, I easily solved the puzzles that would allow me to get to the vault--but when I went back to get the treasure chests, it shut the gates to the vault and I can't get them open again no matter what I do.

The reason I'm inclined to think it's a glitch is because this room is full of them.  Namely:

1) The chest on the left (when facing the vault door) only opens on sporadic loads (I re-loaded several times over the course of this sequence, for obvious reasons).  Most of the time it glimmers from afar but disappears when I try to get close to it.

2) The chest on the right (with the amulet on it for Fenris' amulet quest, if you have Fenris along for the ride) won't let me pick it up until I hit the switch in front of it; even after that, I can only pick it up (and open the chest) about half the time.

Obviously there has to be a way to get into the vault AND get the quest item, so I'm inclined to think my inability to breach the vault has to be a glitch--but maybe I'm dumb?  And just not hitting the switches properly?

So, assuming that's the case, once the treasure is opened, does anyone know the sequence for hitting switches that will reopen the gates to the vault?  I have no problem getting them open in the first place--but they close when I go for the treasure chests and any obvious sequence of switch-pressing yields no results.

And no, you can't go for the treasure chest, first--those gates won't open until after you've pushed the statues over on the upper level.

Thanks!

PS:  I suppose a valid option would be for me to forego the treasure (and the amulet for Fenris) and just continue into the vault ... but I want to complete the quest, dammit.

Yeah, I think it's buggy. The first chest locks the portculluses (portculli? whatever) again, and the second chest reopens them, AFAICT. So if you can't get the left chest open, just reload and keep trying until you can.

Siiiigh. It's stuck pretty good. It doesn't work no matter how many times I reload it. I guess I will wait for a PS3 patch ...?

I had to go back through the process of standing on each stone and opening each portcullis again to get the chests and amulets. I didn't reload, I just went back to the first set of stones on each side and did them over for each chest and it worked. Worth a shot at least.

I have this same problem as well on the PC. It is very frustrating.

Same thing is happening to me with the feather on the left chest for Anders - until I approach it, I can see the 'interact' cursors for both chest and feather, but up close, nothing interactable.  

oh!  It just worked!  I had one character stand on the tile in front of the opposite chest and got both chest and quest item.

Guys for help check the quests and storyline spoiler forum. Look for the puzzle thread.

I did try this a couple of times--as well as a few variations of having different characters stand on different switches while I went back and repeatedly checked the chest.  

I suppose if I know it works for some I could be persuaded to reload that save file and try again a few more times ... but I'm a busy lady!  I gots things to do.  (Like obsess over Fenris dialogue I might be missing if I decide not to go back and try again)

Oh well.  At least I'm not the only one I guess ...?

I followed a piece of advice here and got it to work -- http://social.biowar...78820/3#8503532

Guys, this isn't a bug, it's you not using your brains. it's a puzzle. Figure it out. You can get both quest items and the vault. Do it wrong, and one item won't be retrievable. Do it right, no issue.

Incorrect. You can't lock yourself out of both items.

Turns out that IF you have a companion quest open in your journal, you need to have Tallis stand on one floor panel in front of one chest and Hawke stand on the other floor panel in front of the other chest in order to loot the second chest. Which I guess I did by accident the first time while running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to figure out WTF the problem was that made the chest stop sparkling when I got close.

Very weird.

[Fauxnormal]

Read what I said. I didn't say you could lock yourself out of both items; I said you COULDN'T.

Next time plz to read properly.

Troll.

[Fauxnormal]

LOL!

For what it's worth, I did eventually get it to work--just had to go randomly stepping on and off the same switch over and over again until it would finally let me select it.

In order to unlock the gates ANd gain access to both chests, just make sure you put your Hawke on the switch directly in front of one chest, and Talis directly in front of the other.

This will unlock both chests, and unlock the gate to the door.
