I collected all of the Crusader’s Skulls before Cleansing them, and when I went to the Ritual Brazier, I cleansed 2 one after the other in rapid succession (before clearing any mobs). This appeared to have triggered both sets of elites to spawn, as expected. However, I only got credit for Cleansing 1 of the Skulls, and my Stronghold progress is now stuck. This is in WT4 if that makes any difference to note.
Edit: Just tried it again, turning them in one at a time after each spawn was killed. Still only registering that I’ve cleaned 2 Skulls. It says I’ve completed “Find the stolen Crusader’s Skulls”, and say’s the Brazier is locked when I try to interact. There are only 2 of the ghosts kneeling at the Brazier.
Edit: I’ve left the game and rejoined, this time Cleansing the Skulls one at a time as I got them. This time I collected 4 Skulls (including the first one that starts the event). Previously the UI was displaying that I had collected all the Skulls after having collected only 3 and marked with a green check.

Yep, same here. Gonna try relogging and looking for the 4th skull I guess.
Not entirely sure it’s the same issue, but I was picking up the skulls and riding off, I had to go back to where I picked up the skulls and kill the ghost that spawned there before I was able to use the Brazier.

i have collected all the skulls and killed all monsters, but i can’t press the shrine to complete the stronghole, so I can’t complete the stronghole and don’t get the my Stronghold progress so it is now stuck.

Just letting you guys know that this sh!tshow of a game still has the same bug in 2024. Way to go Blizzard. I can’t remember a game where I googled so many bug related problems than for D4 in the last 10 years. The jankiest indie developer game has less bugs than this. Absolutely shameful.
IVE FIGURED IT OUT! So when you get that bug you stay in the area you act like you are gonna teleport to another place as soon as you start teleporting move to stop it. It will then drop the skull you pick it back up and go do the last part😊
I’m still dealing with this and it’s DRIVING ME NUTS. PLEASE FIX IT
Its June 2024 and its still bugged!!!
I believe I’ve solved the “fix” for the bug and took the following precautions:
- Stay on foot and do not mount your horse. For whatever reason it seemed to make the problem worse.
- Collect skulls one by one - NOTE** after you pick up a skull, it’s important that you STAY at the body and wait for the particular mob to spawn next to it. Kill the mob, then proceed back to the ritual fire and burn it.
- Rinse and repeat.
It seems if you collect them all and then try and go back to kill the mobs individually they’ll either disappear or bug the sequence. Stick to one at a time.
Hope this helps someone!
