Regardless, I closed all the rifts in the area, but it didn't worked. Still cannot interact with pillars.
Having this issue on second playthrough. Seemed to work fine on first playthrough tho.
Not sure if it's related but I did notice that this time around that the fade rifts nearby took forever to spawn enemies like the game was having issues - almost like a lag effect but my internet was fine.
When I initially approached the demon I could not interact. Now when I get near that location they talk about mages being shot in the back or whatever with arrows. But nothing more happens and you can't interact with the pillars.
Will keep trying I guess. This is the only quest I haven't done so far.

I tried a few things but no luck yet.
Tried killing everything nearby - wolves, halla's ,etc.. didn't work. Tried approaching from several different angles. Tried visiting all of the nearby corpses, then approaching and that didn't work.
Another thing is that my party members do weird things near the demon.
Sometimes party members just wander off. Sometimes they stand still while everyone else is walking off. It only happens near the demon.
I tried loading a new game near one of the corpses.
It occasionally mentions a mage being killed and Varric sais "bandits by the look of it". Sometimes they say this 3 or 4 times in a row at random times near the demon but nothing triggers.

So... Still no anwers about this glitch ? It's driving me mad.
The first time I saw the pride demon before the corpses. And because it didn't trigger anything, I just decided to continue. And basically forgot about it. Now here I am, 100 hours in the game and so not reloading an old save ! =( It unnerves me because my inquisitor and Solas were buddies and I cannot interact with him anymore.- Leora859 years agoHero+
@Neferkitty813 If your game is fully updated, it is not necessary to see the corpses or anything before the demon will appear, you can just walk straight up to it from the other side and the cutscene should trigger (unsure if the patch that fixed this is available on previous gen consoles, so if you're playing on one of those, you still might need to come around the long way and notice the corpses for the quest to work).
If you get close enough to the demon (with Solas in your party) a cutscene should trigger, if this doesn't happen there's something wrong with your game, hopefully you saved before approaching (always a good idea with this game to create manual saves before approaching quest areas, in case something like this happens). If you trigger the cutscene and leave, you're likely to break the quest for that playthrough. If you approach and the thing that's supposed to happen doesn't happen, going away and playing the rest of the game isn't going to fix it.
If you have a bug (anywhere in the game, including this quest), don't ignore it and leave it for later, generally that means you'll either have to undo everything you've done since the point of the bug (i.e. load a previous save) or you're going to have to skip that quest. Unfortunately, once the quest is broken, it will most likely stay broken in that playthrough unless you load a previous save.
Sorry I don't have better news for you. Hopefully this will help you to avoid similar issues in the future, though.
