Answer the Question

 

RE: I defeated the gorilla in gold armour and now quest states to try opening the gate again. There is no circle or spot at the gate for me to do any action. I have left and returned 4 to 5 times and the smaller apes, gorillas, and deer return but the gate stays closed. It must be a glitch because near the gate is a cotton patch that I can't collect either. The action hand is indicated near the cotton but character won't collect when I press it. The gate doesnt even have an action to open it.
