I'm having an issue with Government Quest 4-1 The Lost Ruins. Activating all the pillars does nothing, and perpetually the locked door shows only the Forest pillar has been activated. I can access Ruins if I leave on a free-roam expedition at the main teleporter without a quest, but if I try to enter during 4-1 The Lost Ruins, this is all I see.
We both went back and checked the pillars 3+ times, all of them activated, but the doors won't open. We went and checked all the pillars in one playthrough, and killed the Mines boss again, but still nothing. Only the green forest light. No blue cave or red mines.
How on Ragol do I open this door if the pillars and boss aren't working? Is it bugged? Do I need a GM's assistance?
Thank you for your time please send help
UPDATE: I was able to solve the issue. It appears that activating the pillars during an expedition (no mission start, just selecting a zone) does NOT work for the quest. In order to open the door to the ruins in 4-1, the pillars MUST be activated during a Government mission.
