DARK DESCENT: why is this the reason for the players' frustration?

What is happening with the "The Dark Descent" quest is just a mockery. For days, players of different levels have been trying to pass it, but they are faced with the same bug: a black void next to withershead. People go through this over and over again, getting trapped over and over again. This is a mockery. A bug in this quest blocks access to the dungeon "Underworld Crypt".
Hundreds of people write and say about this, fix this quest, please.

 

I guess thats another quest to add on the "FIX NOW" list for 1.21. I wonder how these quests break though, it was working fine the last time I did it a couple months ago..

 

Wow hundreds of people are writing and saying about this, this must be a real issue! I can see no way that this might be misleading in any way! There must be hundreds of people "writing and say"ing about this bug, there's no way they were just all made up for the purposes of this post! I demand that this bug be fixed so this entirely trustworthy person can continue on their way!

 

So I found the answer, once you collect the gem from the white cloud parkour walk into the mouth of the skull. You'll get to the room with the huge door, right before entering THROW the gem out of your inventory and walk through the door. I redid the quest about 4 times until I figured it out.

 

Thank goodness someone found the answer! I litterally quit this game quite a few years ago over this same problem on the same quest, and I came back and ran into it again. I'll be staying around and making sure as few people get lost from this as possible.

 

I'm also having this problem and have posted about it also. Though I'm sure the staff are working on it, for now just ignore the quest and carry on with your other quests :3

 

We fixed it on our side already, it will be there in the next map update (no timeline on that yet but it should be soon).
