Bug: Roderika questline never started

[Poweranimal]

Hi there,

It seems that the questline of Roderika never started for me.
Before doing anything in Stormveil castle, I discovered Roderika at Stormhill Shack.
Though I only got the gesture "Sitting Sideways" instead of the Jellyfish ash or a quest.

Later on I found the Chrysalids' Memento in Stormveil Castle.
Roderika has now moved to the roundtable hold. However I have no dialog option to pass her Chrysalids' Memento in order to get the ability to strengthen my ashes.

Does anyone of how one might be able to solve this or might this be a bug?

did you exhaust her dialogue (speaking to her until she says the same thing over and over)? if not, maybe try this. at roundtable hold, exhaust her dialogue again, then speak to the blacksmith, then to her etc... until she moves near the blacksmith (you might need to stay at the roundtable grace or travel elsewhere then come back)

[Mr.Hmm]

If she moved on to the Roundtable hold then you cant give her the memento.

Trying to exhaust her dialog, she only replies with "I'm still looking for my own purpose."

Ahhhhhhhhhh I see, I needed to talk to the blacksmith and ask him about Rodrika...
Didn't pay much attention to dialogs yet, because it prevents me from looting and leveling :D

Thanks a lot for your help!

I also have this bug. I did exhaust all available dialog. I think my problem was, with club and tiny man pants, defeating the tutorial boss. I then googled how to get back to retrieve the runes as it still forces a death. Doing so it seems sets some flag that you have progressed beyond the castle and so the hand in never works.

The lass with the bell didn't show up for me either, leaving me to buy a bell.

Hmmm, I was too fast with my answer...
I was able to convince the blacksmith to train Rodrika but I didn't get rewarded with the ability to strengthen ashes...

Go back and forth between her and the blacksmith repeatedly until all dialogue exhausted. Reload area and she should be in the room near him.

Yes, that helped. I'm now able to strengthen ashes.

Thanks a lot for your help!
