A Breach Between Worlds (Stuck, spoilers!)

[Victarion]

Hi!

I'm currently stuck in the A Breach Between Worlds quest, since I am unable to finish the Blade Grave Oldwall zone due to lacking the correct torchkeys (two beacons say "the crystal in this beacon does not respond to torchkeys from this oldwell")

After a lot of googling I managed to figure out that the torchkeys I am missing are located in the Lethian's Crossing Oldwall zone. The problem is that I can't seem to get past the locked door in the antechamber. From accounts of other players I should be able to start a quest in Lethian's Crossing that eventually gives me access, but none of the NPCs have quests available. Supposedly this quest should be given out by Zdenya, Master of the Forge, but no such NPC exists inside the forge building alongside the other Forge-Bound, or anywhere else in the town. Neither Graven Ashe nor Tunon have anything to say about the situation.

For background/possible causes:

I went to Lethian's crossing immediately after my first visit to the Bastard City
I gave the town to the scarlet chorus during the prologue, expunging the Bronze Brotherhood
I attacked the Bronze Brotherhood at the Ironhaul Trail, then killed the scarlet chorus when I entered the town due to siding with the dishonored

Any help on how to solve this would be much appreciated, because I have been chasing dead leads for hours already.

I am also stuck at the Ocean Spire section missing the Torchkey. However, the search results I found says the Torchkey needed is one from the Twin Rivers Oldwalls. Is that connected to the Sunset Spire?

It seems to be the same one, yes. The Sunset Spire is above Lethian's Crossing, and two rivers spring from its base.

I don't have the map marker for Two River Oldwall, do you remember which NPC unlocks it?

 

[Sybreal]

I am currently in the same boat. I need that 3rd torchkey from the Two River Oldwall area, but I don't know how to get the map market to travel there.

I got the map marker by interacting with the weird statue-thing at the top of the first spire you activate. As I recall you have a sort of magical vision about a darkness beneath the Sunset Spire

You can only access the Two River Oldwall if you made a specific choice later in the game. to complete the "A Breach Between Worlds" you only need the 3 torchkey in Blade Grave Oldwall. You need a blue, red and yellow one. There is a play who you can use all 3 at once. You have to use them in that order "Blue, red, yellow". The red one has to be in the middle (not sure if that alone opens one door to get to the yellow one).

I got past that part, the area I'm having trouble with is the first one you enter. There is chest on a raised platform overlooking the imprisoned bane and a locked room to the right of it that I can not access. As mentioned above I can not interact with the two beacons that seem to be linked to the raisable bridge and locked door, hovering over them gives the message "the crystal in this beacon does not respond to torchkeys from this oldwell".

For this problem you have to go to the Two River Oldwall. This area is only avialable if you choose Lethian's Crossing in a decision later.

Where is the yellow key?

That is... incredibly frustrating if true! As far as I am concerned this is the biggest main quest available to me at the moment, and for progress to be halted by a quest I could not possibly have even received yet is pretty nuts!

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer though

Where is the yellow key?

In Blade Grave Oldwall. When you go up from the right side (use the staircase symbol) there should be to ways to go in another area (two footprint symbol). One of them is the way to the Spire the other should lead you to the yellow torchkey. It could be that you have to put the red torchkey in a 3 shrine formation in the middle (that one where you put the blue, red, yellow torchkeys) to open a way to the second footprint symbol.

I've been to that area. Its the one with the two shrines and the two staircases. I've done every combination of red and blue on those and killed all the bane that spawned. I looted the altar and the box that has a keystone, but I still can't find the yellow torchkey.

 

[Zidos]

Victarion i believe i don't understand your problem. Your quest doesn't have anything to do with the Two River Oldwall. You need the Item from the imprisoned bane to end the storm edict. For this you only need the 3 torchkeys from the Blade Grave Oldwall.

 

[karsinageeni]

Where is the cold keystone? I have all the others and the 3 torchkeys as well. There are two rooms in the central Oldwalls I can't get open.

Sorry that i can't tell you tell you where it is, but i can try to help you non the less.
You have to use the blue one on the staircase and push a button so the staircase gets up. In the other one you have to use the red, than go up the staircase and use the button there.
Next to the altar is another room. You have to split your party to get to that room.
That's all i can tell you about that area. I hope it helps you.

I've already done that and did the split party room to loot the vault in the room with the rune on the wall. I still can't find the yellow torchkey.

 

[Zidos]

In the area where you can go to the spire area. There is a place where you can use a red torchkey to get to an altar.

Thank you. This is exactly what lead me to the key.

Thank you. This is exactly what lead me to the key.

Can you elaborate?
