[Bug] Progression bug - Can’t talk to Zaraka in "Rise to Power" quest

Bug Report ID: #3742159626

I'm experiencing a bug with the "Ascent to Power" quest in Path of Exile 2, cruel difficulty (act 5).
I’ve reached the Ardura Caravan, where I’m supposed to speak with Zaraka, but I can’t interact with her at all. I've already beat Balbala and did the trial. I can't get to Keth from the desert map.

- The quest is still active in my log.
- I defeated Balbala, and Balbala’s Barya was already delivered — the item no longer drops
- Zaraka is visible in the Ardura Caravan, but no dialogue options appear — I cannot speak to her to progress the quest.

I’ve tried:
- Going through the time portal again and going from the first town back to act 5
- Restarting the game.
-Leaving and returning to the area.
- Repeating the boss fight (Balbala doesn’t drop the item again).
-Attempting to create a new instance of Ardura Caravan (Ctrl + Click), but it’s not possible — the instance option is unavailable.

Nothing helped, so I'm completely stuck now and can't progress. Please help
