[Main Quest Bug] - Echoes of the past

In this mission at the point where you are suppose to put on a mask to view an explosion, nothing happens. The scene of the explosion does not appear and thus does not let me proceed with the main quest. I can still view the scene that precedes it where the two people are shown walking out of a portal (it triggers over and over) but it does not trigger the next scene. It also may be worth noting that anytime I attack with sword or sign a mans voice yells out in the same manner that they do when u attack or sign in a village. Anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found a work around other than loading an old save?

You know you have to use the item right? Select it in the tab screen and hit your use key when you are in the right spot?

 

[cpizzle]

Well aware of that. Putting the mask on at the right spot does not trigger the scene.

I should've mentioned before that I'm experiencing this issue on Xbox one.

You have to do more than just put the mask on. You have to hit the use key also.

I am having the same issue on the Xbone and it's not an issue of not using the mask. Whenever I put the mask on the cut scene refuses to initiate. This bug is preventing me from making progress in the game and I do not want to return to a previous save because I am level 27 now and I don't want to go back to my level 5 save. Is there anyway that I could inform the developers or any alternative in order to fix this progress halting bug?

I have the exact same problem on my ps4 version. Yennefer just stands there and says YES?
I would be really pleased if CD Projekt RED could give us a solution for this one because i dont have a previous savegame. I suppose that when a game is done and the developer offers me automatic save, then i can use it without any bugs or problems. so i rely on that because i payed for it.
We are waiting for a solution here CD Projekt Red

I have the exact same problem on my PC version. Yennefer just stands there and says YES?
So decided to do the secondary missions, wahile waiting for someone find the solution to this glitch.

I don't know if it helps, but maybe it might. I'm playing on the PC and ran into it as well. The first thing would play: two people coming from a teleport and would walk down that valley. Nothing happened, no other places triggered. I was running around drawing swords and all, and at some point I was running in the other way, towards Yen that is, and then the teleported people walked in the other direction as well and that triggered the dialogue and it went smooth from that point.
So basically go towards Yen with the mask on or wiggle in different directions. At least I think that's what I did last before it triggered the next event.

Same issue for me on my ps4 how the hell can we progress when main story quests are bugged they spent so long to release this game and we're getting major bugs on main quests, if they don't patch this soon looks like it's elder scrolls online for me shame because I was really getting into this game. Put the mask in two people walk out of a portal and nothing yen is just stood there doing nothing!!!!

Putting the mask in is using the mask!?!?

Exact same issue for me on ps4 doing my nut in as I can't progress any further they need to fix this I'm also getting a man yell

 

[PrinceOfPunk]

I have had some problems in the scene of the explosion. But in the end I was able to continue after a few attempts (depended on what position I watched the scene).

 

[MAB1000]

Help cd projekt red, we are stuck in this quest !!!

 

[Ttmc1986]

They're useless people do what I did buy elder scrolls online I've left witcher 3 as can now linger advance any further due to these main quest bug if you spend so long making a game at least make sure the main quests are bug free a side quest with a bug wouldn't be so much of a problem shame because it was a good game just more bugs than a rotten tree stump!

Playing on PC with 1.08 patch and that helped me as well. Thank you for your post, NikKru!

Just experienced this bug today, so it is still present. I managed to get through by simply wandering around the area where Yennifer is standing and the walking cutscene triggers, eventually Geralt decided to start talking about it and I could progress.

For anyone experiencing this problem, just try walking around nearby, go off for a bit and come back, maybe jump down one of the small ledges in the area, I dont have a specific way to solve it. But eventually, if you just bugger around, it should trigger and you can continue enjoying the game.

Of course, you need to be wearing the mask.
