I'm at the "meet Ikora in the Plunge" step on the main seasonal quest, but the portal to get down there isn't working. It's lit up but nothing happens when stepping through.

I hadn't completed the Season of the Deep main quest prior to the new season; I just did the Barotrauma final mission, went through the cutscene, and now looks like to finish that one, I also need to go through that portal.

Any input on a solve for this? Thanks!

Edit: I've tried a few things now. Tried nuking the current seasonal quest, previous seasonal quest, nothing is helping. One thing I see now is that step 38 of Into the Depths should be watching a convo in the west wing of the HELM, not into the Plunge, but that's not triggering when I land in the HELM and wander down. The quest itself mentions reactivating Salvage, Deep Dive etc. and it looks like it won't progress until that happens - but I'm seeing no way to actually reactivate anything. I ran a Salvage run to see if that would help, but no. I assume the method they mean is to acquire the heirloom again, but I've got that; nuking and reacquiring it does nothing.

Hey there. Appreciate the report about this - it's an issue we're investigating since neither quest should interfere with each other.

There is a workaround we discovered - if you completed the Baratrauma mission, the next quest step is step 37 which says to "Witness the conversation in the H.E.L.M." What you'll need to do is go to the Sonar Station in the H.E.L.M. that is beside the portal and you should see Zavala there. You need to stand next to him (like in this video) and witness the conversation between him and Drifter, then you can go on to the next step. You may have to complete the quest before you can continue S22's quest.

Yes, I'm on that step, witness the convo, but Zavala isn't there when I go to that area. :(

One thing that may be an issue here; I've tried, several times, abandoning the Into the Depths quest, and removing the other legacy item, and then reacquiring them, hoping to trip something into letting me progress. But since the only place to reacquire these bits is the sonar station, and that's where one is to find Zavala... I expect that whole convo bit is supposed to get loaded when dropping into the HELM; since I'm getting the quest back right there, I wonder if me being there already is interfering with that. That quest won't show up in the quest terminal.

That is probably the issue. Can you obtain the quest and the other legacy item, go to Orbit, then launch back into the HELM?

You may have to abandon the Bladed Path quest first and then try go to Orbit and back to the HELM. You should be able to re-obtain the Bladed Path from the Quest Archive or the Ritual Table.
