    You have to finish the entire scene to exit. This includes:

    - finding the crown
    - speaking to Perri and convincing him to leave (you get a prompt and task update if you've talked to Hephaestus first)
    - speaking to Hephaestus to open the exit (Perri tells you to do this when he's ready to leave

    Note that you get a minor reward if you still have Perri's book when you talk to him.

    And yes, there is intentionally no combat in the entire scene by design. Notus comments on this.

    As for the anomaly with the trap - it sounds like you exited the dungeon without saving quest flags as a flag is saved on the death of the aforementioned entities. Notus checks this flag when commenting.

    Perri: (end of chain to convince him to return)
    I'm not going to give up! I'm going to keep fighting! I'm going to write more books and teach fauns to read them and they'll teach other fauns and one day there will be a town of fauns and no satyrs and we will live our own lives and... and we'll be free! And no one will tell us what to do but us! Because that's what's RIGHT!

    Journal:
    I spoke with Perri the Unchained, the faun who is leading the struggle to free his people against their enslavement by the satyrs. After a discussion, I convinced him that staying here was not helping him or his people, and he is leaving with a new found purpose.

    It is time for me to leave Artifice as welll. Sadly, with the death of Boreas, there is nothing more I can do here.

    Task:
    Return to Hephaestus: Ask him of your destiny once again

    Hephaestus: (keyword destiny)
    Is that an original mark 1a dagger you have? Odd that. Older model. We give it to satyrs. You no need it.

    (this part changes depending on where you are in rest of story)

    Anyway, you go now. I throw switch, open door. Exit in Lycaeum. You go-go. Path of virtue, stay on.

    (task list cleared, at this point the exit in Lycaeum is no longer blocked)

    Yeah, I see that now (need to add the perri quest flag to requirements for that) but if you saw that dialog then the gate's open. It's a bit difficult to find, but it's NOT the exit back to the forge, but slightly behind it and in a T-junction; the walls are grim and not fancy like the rest of the Lycaeum. It's marked "Exit the Halls of Artifice" which you should see whether or not it's blocked (and you should get a popup telling you it's blocked if it is)

    They had respawned when I went back up. Which in and of itself shouldn't happen. It's possible when I walked back past them the flag was set for that outcome.

    I also have this problem. I am on the 595 build.

    I have 2 quest hints in my list.

    * Find answers in Kiln. (I went to Etceter before I went to Kiln. I then went to Kiln and could find no way to clear that quest step.)

    * Find out more about the crowm.

    I can walk right up to the exit, but it is solid white-yellow. I can't go through. I received all the messages from NPCs that you mentioned. I had the problem yesterday, and I tried to exit again today on build 595.

    I have been exiting by using the "Exit to Menu" on the Options screen.
