Did you talk to the old shaman in the dream / trees?

Is the quest being active a requirement for the gate to trigger?

Cause I collected the sword before I was told to I forgot after the first conversation I had to go back and talk with him again that way it would open the 3rd option to touch with sword, beat the dragon but so far that's it I wasn't a high enough LVL and didn't bring the right potions lol.
Getting ready to go back with LVL 20 warrior and hirge as a companion hirge has her specials so we shall see but thank you for your help

No worries!

It sounds like a standard quest order issue. Glad it was resolved.

Knocking out the dragon is a huge step.

You don't need to take on the throne room baddies to complete the sword quest. You just need to knock out some shadows, and take a nice refreshing bath in the obviously polluted pool. Totally a normal thing to do. (Note: Please don't jump into the pool.)

I did manage to lure them one by one thou.

I had to send Griss to the slaughter and use summons while I aggroed one of the witches, and run all the way to the entrance, exit and enter again, but I did managed to do it. So there it goes my tip on it.

Once the dungeon is cleared of all the shadows, I set Hirge at the hall of the dragon, and tell her to wait.
Then I go to the throne room and literally advance step by step. It takes time, a lot of patience and careful watch over the crowd, but eventually one (and only one) enemy is closer to me while the rest are farther. That is the moment when I get 1 or 2 steps closer to trigger his/her reaction. Then I bravely (but also slowly) retreat to the safety of Hirge, then we kill the enemy.
Rinse and repeat. I mean, including the pets (tiger and golem iirc)
Some may think it is tedious, but I love the thrill of the lurking. Besides, I can only handle Blafarne if she is absolutely alone.

Next time I will try that.
Turn undead worked ok for me in castle Storme, but I forgot about it in the Undergrove.
Sounds so simple that I feel ashamed for not realising that.
Edit: On top of that, I tend to raise INT rather early in the game, so the requirement to use the scroll is no problem.
