Can't pick up power crystal in Arlathan
The crystal I need to activate the last laser device and get to that big chest on the island doesn't have a pick up option. I've tried restarting the game, changing areas, etc. but nothing works....

Similar to Kielg413 on this thread, progressing through a major world state update did return the functions of the altars in question, the chests I couldnt open, and the wall that was supposed to be accessible. So avoiding spoilers, try and progress to the next major world state change to see if it resolves the issues for now.
SPOILER TERRITORY AHEAD FOR DETAILS!!
STILL HERE?
YOUVE BEEN WARNED…
After punching the fi—ahem, after the siege of Weisshaupt and defeating the fancy snake and the squabbles at the dinner table, the world state seems to have reset to allow all unfinished business to be done. Not sure if the resolution to this bug, by means of resetting the world state at this point of the story was built in because of said bugs known to the devs, was intentional, but because of story reasons all unfinished business is set up for completion. (Sorry major run on sentence there).
Though another user, Omnicidiel reports that this specific progression did not resolve their issue. Milage may vary. As for the cause… The reasons will continue to remain…unsolved.
Issue came back. No progress to main story. But cleaned out ask side quests available and saved the gates and crossroads blight last (gate related). Reached the boss in crossroads and its chest wouldn’t open again. I reloaded some saves and found that it’s not the gate that causes the issue this time. A save with all gates open but boss was not beaten worked fine upon checking an altar i keep untouched for checking this bug. So i am speculating that maybe I was button mashing too heavily in a high tension moment of the boss fight that it mightve caused an input error. 🤷♂️ which may also be an issue the firdt time since in hindsight i was also in a high tension encounter with venatori.
