Thaniel quest bug

[[BRE] Aymerald]

Hello fellow players,

I encountered a bug keeping me from completing Thaniel's quest. Apparently this quest is know for its numerous issues, so I wondered if someone had a solution for me?

I finished the fight with Oliver with Halsin as a bear, and apparently it makes you unable to finish the quest since they cannot talk together.

Now Oliver has disappeared, Thaniel is at camp without dialogue lines, and the quest marker is still on Oliver's house but nothing to do there.

I never lifted the shadow curse in my playthroughs so I would like to do it in this one....

Oh and I have other quest bugs in this run that I started after the last major update. Like Wulbren who magically died after he was already saved from the jail etc etc....

Its annoying I never had such issues in my previous runs and even less in DoS2.

Thanks for reading !

Are you playing the latest version? Halsin talked with Oliver as a bear without problems in my run. It looked weird, but that was it. Bear with it.

Yes I am playing the latest version. I tried to go back and forth to the camp to maybe reset the dialogues or something but Oliver is just not there and there are no possible interactions with Halsin or Thaniel.

From what I've read, my bug could also come from the fact that I killed Oliver's shadows and himself with an aoe spell. He is apparently not supposed to be hit after the last shadow dies and his shield shatters, if he is he just dies and you cannot complete the quest. What is weird and makes me think its just a bug is that there are no quest log update, no dialogue or anything about failing the quest.

Thanks for your feedback tho !

I eventually managed to fix it.

Here is what I did if someone encounters the same bug :

I returned to Oliver's house where I had the quest marker, talked to Halsin and I was able to choose (again) the line to tell him about the dead boy Oliver as if him and Halsin never met.

I went through the portal again and it started a 1 sec fight with Oliver (who disappeared from that location before) and I finally got the dialogue between him and Halsin resolving the quest.

I probably resetted what was bugged by doing the previous quest steps again.
