An Unfortunate Turn of Events

Nittel didn't seem to have bothered retrieving the sunken case, for it was still resting on the bottom when Geralt found it. Though this was not the easiest of tasks, Geralt fished it out and, enriched by the contents of this lucky find, marched on to his next adventure.

Fixing a softlock

Enable the debug console, then look for a fact under Gates the quest checks — one the quest is actively waiting on. If that flag never got written, addfact it to the value shown and the gate clears.

Setting a Set these to advance fact only marks a step done — it won't run the step or skip the quest forward, and it can't fix a softlock caused by a scene that never played or an NPC that didn't spawn (reload an earlier save for those). Save before forcing any fact.
