Doomguides - Defeating the Red Wizard Bugged

[kitten2021]

Whilst in The Rift at the very beginning of the game, I was tasked with defeating a Red Wizard. I defeated him and expected the quest to update, but it never did... it still says to "Defeat the Red Wizard". I have tried leaving the dungeon to reset it, but I cannot leave the crypt and now I am at a loss on what to do. How do I get the quest to clear and recognize that I've defeated the wizard so I can continue questing please?

Hold on, found a resolution! Rather than deleting this post though, I'll leave it here in case others get stuck like I did.

To resolve the issue, I opened the main menu, clicked on the Support button there and told it "I'm Stuck". From there it gave me options on things to select or do, one of them being to abandon the quest - which would effectively kick me out of the instance I was in and teleport me back to the beginning outside The Rift.

After clicking that, it did in fact take me outside The Rift, I had to re-do the entire instance again and got back up to the Red Wizard. This time, instead of hanging back and fighting him form a distance - as one would do as a Wizard class - I actually got up and personal with him, ensuring this time there would be nothing preventing the game from realizing I was in the same room as him. It worked, but the last time I fought him, he did not spawn any skeletons. This time he spawned skeletons and used his spells against me!

Upon his defeat, the Doomguide Severin hopped off the stone table he was on and started chatting with me - resolving the stuck issue.

Hope this helps anyone else with this issue in the future.
