I was able to get past the gate by using the "Winged Boots" and trading them through the gate across my entire party. Not sure if I will be able to continue normally from this point, but it was tedious.

Was able to continue the campaign just fine with no further issues, so this is a good-enough workaround until a bugfix is available.

The new version seems to have fixed this issue for as the large gate by the front gate of Phandalin was openable but now I took the sewer entrance and am completely stuck.I am on the 2nd level of this dungeon, where the bartender (merchant) is located. I have cleared all enemies, opened all chests and other things...and there is no way out. I used a gem or true seeing, walked around the entire dungeon and did not find anything more than what I have found already. HELP?

The items you need were the golden and ivory statuette

One found in the bosses bed chamber, the other on the Bullete (Grick)

Check the merchant to make sure you didnt accidently sell them as they arent considered key items

I have this bug as well. Can you please update the latest fixed files in nexusmods? I got the game from game pass.

Cannot open a door in the Wave Echo Caves. Killed all the ghouls and got the dragon key for one door.

just tested, no issue... so not really sure why the key isnt working. Try reloading it in. but dragon key is working for that door. Also make sure that the person with the key is using the door.
