@gorechi OMG this worked! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

@gorechi
You bloody legend. THANK YOU! Now to get rid of that gastly bard.

@gorechi Omg you and this bard lady are my heros!!! Ubisoft should give you a million helix credits and a medal!

The bard just stares at me while I bash the door doesn't help at all. Was excited someone fixed it bummed now that it didn't work for me.

@corbae you have to stop bashing and start again with her next to you once she appears! Or at least I did. Maybe try a few times with her next to you if the first and second don’t work?

also I spoke too soon on her being my hero, she’s the worst. Why do all the bards in this game suck??

@discopants89 I think it’s really the “force open” door you have to get through, not any other one.

@gorechi i love you! You are officially better than the ubi support team

@gorechi Thank you so much!!!!

I'm running into the same type of problems. I managed to get inside the building, but then everything bugged out. The person to save just stayed there standing staring at the wall as if nothing was going on, and I had one of the enemy NPC's somehow get stuck in the wall where I can't interact with them at all and they became unkillable. I have no idea why or what is going on here, this is just a mess. I don't understand why after so many Assassin's Creed games that have had these exact similar issues in every game, that we don't have a option to drop a quest to completely restart its progress by this point. Here is my exciting screenshot of this mess :

@gorechi YOU'RE MY FREAKING HERO!!! THIS WORKED!!!

@gorechi
it works, thank you so much.. now go working on the bugged Reda quest

@ubiexcellent Hi,
could you give us an update about a possible fix?

I would also mention that there is no quest marker at all anymore in my case, with the quest selected and the raven doesnt spot anything either. I can currently still play other missions first, but I hope the issue will be adressed as soon as possible

@gorechi

i’m speechless, thank you and god bless you.

@gorechi IT WORKED!!!! I've been stuck here for over 2 weeks. You are a god among men!

Hey I had this issue and tried so many things to get passed it. Eventually I got it to work because I have autosave on, I could load an autosave that put me right at the door and it seemed that if Sigurd and Basim both went in to anonymous (hoods up) it wouldn't work. I had to be quick as when the save loaded Sigurd would already have his hood up but Basim wouldn't, if i got to the door quick enough and tried to open it basim would help open the door but if i left it too late Basim would put his hood up and not help. I reloaded and tested this a few times and it seems to work everytime if you get it quick enough. I can upload a video if anyone needs further help. Hope this works for everyone else.

@gorechi ....it worked....you're a damn genius!!!. Ubisoft still owes all of us compensation for this [censored]. And they better hire you now at this point

@gorechi BASED AS [censored]!! I didn’t pay the bard. I just freed her and waited for the dialogue to end then fast traveled to buckinghamshire dock. I skirted up and around the long house to the front door and forced it open. She spawns behind you spouting a bunch of nonsense. I had to back out of the force door animation then try again and she helped immediately. Well done man!! Better than waiting another month for a fix.

Can’t continue quest because Sigurd and Basim don’t have weapons and will not help open door they walk around!!!!

@gorechi
OMG you sir are a saint! Thanks for finding this and letting us know.
