Thou Shalt Not Pass

SecondaryNovigrad
Luckily Geralt managed to get his hands on just such a pass and from then on could cross the Pontar border at will. I hope he did not abuse this privilege, jumping back and forth across the border, making faces at the poor wretches stuck on one side and taunting the guards who had no right to stop his antics. He mentioned nothing of the sort, true, but that's just the kind of thing one might choose to keep to oneself.

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.

Completion flags this step writes — they record a step as done but won't run it or skip the quest forward on their own.
