Castle Morne, Irina quest bugged (Spoilers and a warning)

[Bodean Abernathy II]

I was doing the Irina quest where you go talk to her father and kill the boss for the sword he needs to protect. You are supposed to talk to the father first and give him the letter, which he then tells you he has to protect the sword of the castle which the boss at the end of the castle has. I, instead of talking to him first killed the boss and THAN talked to him. I thought I was good to go and didn't know that if you do it in the wrong order (It still should work the same) she dies and I have no idea what the affect this will have on the game.

Anyone else run into this?

Happened the same to me. After Irina dies, go to the castle again and talk to the father, then go back to Irina's corpse, you should she them both there, and the quest should resume.
I still haven't advanced much, but I guess we will encounter the father at a later point in the game.

I talked to her and him again and now he's at her body mourning her. Is there anything passed that?

Glad I wasn't the only one running into this. Hopefully they make a fix.

She dies anyway, and her father is there lamenting that he didn't prioritize her over his duty.

It's not bugged.
I kill the boss before I talk to him.
I talk to him then return to a Grace point, talk to him again.
Teleport to Irina and he's there then teleport to the Shack (I found the shack before hand) and got invaded by him.

I talked to him after I killed the boss but wasn't able to tell him I actually killed the boss, seems like a bug to me. Will looks for the shacks though. Thanks.

She always dies.

Return to a Grace point after talking to him to activate the 2nd Dialog thanking you for killing the boss.

Sadly the quest is already done. I tried that after killing the boss and he told me the same thing about having to defend the sword and it would not progress until after I went back to (dead) Irina.

I was able to talk to him after I defeated the boss. I accidentally ran past where he was without talking to him and only remembered after running into Irina again. The downside to having coop guests is that they have a tendency to just want to mindlessly kill everything and I always feel rushed so I miss stuff if I'm not careful.

Anyway, when I went back to him and I gave him the letter and then he thanked me. I think you can immediately talk to him and he acknowledges you killed the boss. You can't tell him his daughter is dead, you just go back and he is there weeping over her body swearing vengeance.

I felt bad killing him after he invaded me at that shack. I would have joined him in his vengeance. He was doing his duty and lost everything because of it.

Huh, I guess you got the softlock bugged then. Mine got progressed in the end. Maybe try equip the Greatsword and talk to him again? Or maybe skip a day ingame. Idk then :( because I also thought I got softlock from Fia until I went to a certain location then went back and talk to her did it move the quest.

I guess it's just my game because I went back to talk to him and she still died because the quest wouldn't progress through him.

*Then

I did the same thing and I think the quest doesn't change whether you talk to him before of after the boss (Although I wish it did for the better). His daughter's death seems inevitable unless you skip the quest I guess

She dies no matter what. It's a sad quest to be sure, but not one you can produce a happy ending in.

[Nerevar]

she dies either way. the letter you are to deliver is a suicide letter in case you didnt know.
you didnt bug anything nor made a mistake. you cannot safe her. you didnt miss out on anything item wise either.

i havent seen the father again since that. but i got invaded by him once later down the line. maybe thats it. not sure. still about 1/3 of the overworld map is in shadows for me. i am 70 hours in and i still havent seen the full game. its absolutly insane how huge and detailed this game is. its not only liveing up to the hype it surpasses it in some cases even.

most of the posters here havent seen anything yet. this is game of the year by a mile. no contest possible at all. the amount of content and the details and hidden stuff and boss design and fights is crazy.
