When I type quest:

Completed Quests:
Success, Tower of Sorcery: Membership


The golem doesn't prevent me from entering the tower.

I'm pretty sure this isn't intended, since the mushroom and the berries require quite a bit of walking to get.


Also, I remember the same thing happens with the quest Keep of the Righteous: Infiltrating the castle for Kylos, if you give him the weapon rack first, he doesn't need the rest of the stuff. I admit not doing that quest in a while, so this might have been fixed.

Typically I see this when someone else screws up the quest prior to you, and the mob still has 1 or 2 of the other items already.
