Maybe that is a bug and the gate should now open but it does not. There also seems to be no way to open it. In the Jeremo Slums I have come across a large wooden type gate that does not open. Have also inspected every nook in Jeremo Village. I have run through all the dungeons around Jeremo Village again, fighting my way through all of them again, but have not found the Barracks nor the Lorekeeper. I cannot find these Barracks nor the Lorekeeper. The only other quest here that I have is to go speak to Atos (Alos?) the Lorekeeper who can be found in the Jeremo Barracks. Help, I am in Jeremo Village and have done the quests going through the Forge and also the Library etc saving the fourth and last Fairy.
