In the brazier room, should all the seven braziers be lit for the door to unlock? If so, then the quest apparently got bugged. I was clicking around, trying to figure out how the braziers interact, and managed to light them all eventually. However, the door didn't unlock.

I have a quicksave right there with brazier 4 unlit. After lighting that one all the braziers are lit but the door just won't unlock. I also checked out the "right" combination from the internets, did that backwards (4 7 3 4) and then forward (4 3 7 4) in case it required a specific combination, but that didn't help.

Well, now that you know how to light them properly, just return to a save before and do it again.

This is not the first time some one has reported getting them all lit with no unlock.

Did you do any kind of save an reload the first time you began the process? For example, clicking one or two, then saving, reloading and clicking the rest. Maybe such a sequence is what messes it up.

Going back to a point before you pass the Wisp will surely straighten it out, regardless.

Yes, I've seen that. It says "light all the braziers except the central one", but hey - the power of crowdsourcing and so forth. I tried that one out as well for the kicks, didn't work.

I don't think I saved during the sequence, but I'm not 100 % positive.

Did you ever get it unlocked?

It unlocks properly if I load an earlier autosave, but that save is just so far behind that the rewards are meaningless. Obviously a bug, but I'll mark this solved anyway.

Any word on whether this will be fixed in 1.3 or another update? I've encountered the same bug and if I were to go back to a save before I started messing around lighting braziers then I'd have to undo several hours worth of playing.
