"A Crown of Stone" Quest wording is atrocious and desperately needs to be rewritten or redesigned.

The quest says "Enter the Titan Grotto at the Clasped Entry"

Right next to the Waypoint in this Zone, Valley of the Titans, there is an alter you interact with by placing two relics in. Under it is a button, that for no discernable reason (yet) says "Medallion" and does nothing when you click it. Right next to all of this, is a statue whose arms are clasped into an archway, leading down a set of stairs. You can't go down this set of stairs. It's not an actual Entry, despite being right there, and obviously clasped. No matter what you do here, you won't progress this quest. Because this Clasped figure over an Entry to another area, isn't the Clasped Entry.

Where, you may ask, is this "Clasped Entry"?

Why, it's just some random chunk of rock. All the way on the other side of the map, with a teeeeny tiiiiiny little icon that's the exact same color as the ground, in the shape of a glove, for whatever reason. Go near it, and it just crumbles apart and there's your door.

Does it sound like I just spent 2 hours wandering around this godforsaken red hellhole wondering what the actual !)#*(& is going on? If it does, it's because I have.

Please, please save future people the throbbing pain I have in my neck right now, and just fix this quest. Either make it say "Go find a random rock in the middle of the desert" or make the entryway appear where the freakin' quest says it does.

Thanks.

Oh, for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure someone at GGG can figure out how to just implement a character limit in the title field here, instead of making us count letters by hand.

I just spent like 60 minutes looking and then decided to google, thank you so much for your post. You are correct its dumb.
You know it takes to farm? It takes BRASS BALLS to farm items and currency. Go and do likewise gents. Currency is out there. You pick it up, it's yours. You don't, I got no sympathy for you.
A.B.F. --- Always Be Farming
Heck I spent hours scouring the area before I googled and I'm standing at the Clasped Entry and nothing is happening
Upvote.

This should 1000% be more obvious.

I've had no other issues with navigation the entire campaign.

Ideas:

1. Show clasped hand entrance on minimap after unlocking
2. Update quest text to be more specific on location
3. Or, make significant the middle area (I know there are tornadoes but that to me said more "cool map mechanic" rather than "this location is significant." Perhaps have the character use voice lines, have the ground colored differently, etc.

Regardless this part of the campaign is not intuitive and created heavy friction in an otherwise seamless journey.
Location for those googling (I also spent 30 minutes walking around looking for it)

Funny, but I see no problem with this.
I didn't even read the quest, just activated all stuff on the map and went in.

Maybe we should assign one guy from GGG to stay at the entrance, and lead you guys by the hand to it.

Just a suggestion...
Also pro tip: DO NOT LOGOUT. otherwise you will have to do the seals ALL OVER AGAIN in this hellhole of a zone

Just what I wanted to tell you also. Had to do this all over. But It's easy to find if you have all the seals. It's just the big rock where the camera zooms out. ;)
Still doesn't open for me. Cleared a map twice already, activated the seals, still doesn't open.
