Night howl quest

[Zatio]

Tried to do the quest night howl, so i wander around the quest village all night long and nothing happens and then i am teleported back home. How am i supposed to kill the three wolves like the quest wants me to do if they dont show up? Or am i supposed to just wander around in the wild and hope i run into wolves?

Wolves have spawn areas, just like other wildlife. You just are lucky (unlucky?) enough to have not found them yet.

I encounter wolves a lot around the Hunter's cabin in the far north east. Ive been ambushed just down the road from his place in the winter by wolves a few times now.

Yes i know there are wolves in the game and i know there are some near the hunter but this quest was about killing 3 wolves near the village at night time but nothing happend. So either i am supposed to wander around the forest at night time looking for 3 wolves to kill or the wolves never spawned near the village or i am supposed to just kill 3 wolves. The game is very unclear on what is going on other then that i need to kill 3 wolves.

I am also finding this quest annoying.
If the villagers are being bothered by wolves, where are the wolves?

This is a good example of bad implementation of quest, you can kill any wolves anywhere on the map.

Can't remember if the quest says village (singular) or nearby villages (plural), but running around the map to find wolves is annoying :( Once the questgiver told me about a lone wolf east of the village, but I couldn't find any wolves east of the village and had to kill a random wolf at a different village.

PS. A bug that sometimes needs to be exploited (my last night hunt had 14 animals, which is a lot, especially when I have to run around the whole map) is that you can start to kill the animals once the quest is active. You do not have to wait till nighttime when the quest activates, any kill (of wolves or whatever the quest asks for) after accepting the quest counts

sorry but in the quest if you go to far from the quest area it tells you to stay close to the village so its only around that part of the map and i also failed as no wolf around

I'm doing Night Howl and hunt quests all the time, never has this happened to me. Are you sure you didn't just wander out of the map?

@ Zatio, the teleport likely is a season-change teleport. Did it happen during the last night of a season?

Yeah it was.
