I can't figure out what to do here.
I found the 'pride demon' or 'spirit' in between four spires.
I've tried to destroy the spires, but nothing works (different spells from the four branches of magic - I hacked at em, nothing happens, tried to dispel - nope).
What am I missing? Is it bugged? The place was empty except for the demon there.
I do have Solas with me, it doesn't trigger anything other than him saying something about "stones" and "these aren't mages". Nothing else happens.
Am I doing something wrong? There's no one to fight or talk to there.
Same issue and this is the second quest in this area that's glitched
I remember there being five pillars....one is a bit further than others. Once I destroyed all, the quest ended.
Edit: Nvm. You seem to not be able to hit them at all. Weird. I was able to harm it with even my basic attacks.
Walk around just to the east of the glowing stones. You need Solas to see the corpses of the mages and to realize who was responsible for their deaths. At that point approach the stones again and the quest will continue properly.
I had the same issue. What solved it for me was to start up the road to where there are ruins and a camp. Solas will say something there. Then you continue on the road, there are more dead mages and Solas will again say something. And finally you have to see the corpses near the stones. Then the cut scene triggered.
I don't know if that is the solution or not, but give it a try.
I had a bug with that, as the cutscene for the quest never triggered. I entered the area from the wrong side and that prevented me from triggering anything at all. Reload your save, maybe that helps.
Just had this glitch myself, not triggering, no solution for it that I can find. Found all dead bodies, Solas did his dialogue upon finding bodies but when reached spirit/pillars nothing triggered, now showing as quest greyed out in the quest not completed part of journal. Bioware are seriously incompetent if they cannot even get main companion quest triggers working unlike some generic fetch quest from random NPC. Whoever was in charge of QA and missed this is a ****** idiot and it better be fixed in a patch soon.
i hope you have tried it with disabling the cutscene fps limiter fix. There is a reason the cutscenes were locked to 30.
I'm stuck too. I think I came at it from the wrong side, as the first bodies I saw where on the beach. The next by the outcrop of stones, and the last on the road. The one on the road didn't have an "examine" option.
I also came from the other direction meaning from elven camp not road near undead forts so maybe you have to do it in exact order of finding bodies else does not work, I did get the examine bodies but in different order than I think needed to be found but once found they cannot be found again with exception of the arrow banter comment the other two comments do not take place again. There is no solution for this and I have checked for days across every single forum and game site I could find. Bioware were just incompetent in handling of the trigger/flags for this quest and our only hope is they fix it and soon via a patch. Unfortunately I would of lost over 20+ hours if wanted to reset to a save prior to the bug and I decided it was not worth losing so much play time since. I however will never play this game again until they have fixed all the quest bugs like this (there's is quite a lot of them) plus other problems with game so that patch(es) better be done in a more competent manner than the game was.
Ok i'm stuck with this too.
Firstly, I came from the edges of the map and went there first so i didn't see all the bodies, but the one that made him go 'no, no no NO!'. Then we saw the demon and no cutscene happened. We then looked and saw other bodies that were examined though only 'arrow shot down mage' was said so i donno if it was triggered.
Since then there has been no cutscene and i have thorogly swept through over and over to the point that most other quests have done.
when near permaniter he mentions the arrow shot down mage but never moves on, the bodies don't get examined and the demon is there with no interaction. At one point there were soldiers there and the demon was within a trebuchet showing that the game isn't fully recognising the demon as there. To further this evidence if my characters who follow the primary character follow me and run into the demon, the demon is moved out of the way.
Also noticed that the quest when set active doesn't show the quest and the quest objective to find the demon is greyed out suggesting that the system either doesn't recognise it or believes it to be done. I need to refresh it but not sure how.
I've tried going back without solas to see if that would refresh it and it does get rid of the demon and the crystals but putting solas back there does nothing. Neither does going there playing as Solas (as this worked with another scene with the pub in fereldan with Damion).

On PS4 this quest triggers whether you approach from the stream toward the marker or from the east to west. I never even saw mages. Never needed to. Once you are in the general area it triggers.
I had the same problem, I approached from the river, and he said "OhNo" and no cut scene triggered. So I had to go back to an earlier save and approach from a different angle and the cut scene fired and we completed the quest.
I solved this problem, for me at least.
At the suggestion of someone on another forum, I closed the rift near the quest marker location on the map (you have to go around and through a cave), then approached the quest marker starting from the camp by the ruins down the road. The cutscene near the trapped demon finally triggered, and I could complete the quest.
It was an immense relief; I was super-annoyed at the possibility that I might not be able to complete Solas's quest-line, because he's one of my favourite characters. I hope this helps someone like it helped me.
I'm bugged too : ( Please fix this soon. I have the PC version. Is there a console command to restart the quest?
I didnt actually have too much problem with this quest, but i am wodering if you let them live can that become agents or do that just go on their merry way?
suppose i could check and reload but i think ill do that on my next play though. cant remember the last time i saved.
No, they don't become agents. I'm on PC and I went direct to the site from the Dalish camp, it always triggers. I never found any bodies because I always port back to Skyhold after that. I only saw one of the bodies in one PT when I decided to pick up the mosiac from the tomb.
Still bugged for me. Expect incredulity from people who didn't encounter the bug and insist you're crazy for some reason.

You know what's odd? I did that quest once and followed the bodies, on my last playthrough I found no bodies and was taken to the Pride Demon right away and the quest was working fine...
thanks, no point in not letting him kill them then.
and as for buying out for some people i found this if it did bug out. save load and go back to the bodies. then keep going a little further to a kind of ruin/building thing there are some people there that can be killed also a veil fire with rune thing i think. then go back to the demon. don't know if this will help but good luck 
The first time, I came near from the river side and got no cutscene. I had to reload, then follow the body trail to get it.
