the first men quest bug?

[sixtyhydra]

I can't seem to progress the quest in the grotto of the first men. I made it to the bottom of the grotto, the construct wouldn't talk to me, so I killed him to check if something would happen. Nothing did so I reloaded a save game at the start of the grotto. This time, a wight spawned whenever I killed a slime in the cave and the construct was just gone when I got to the bottom. Any advice on how to move this quest forward?

No advice, just wanted to say it’s the same for me with the construct not talking to me. Seems like a bug.

it’s the same for me, the construct wouldn't talk to me, so I killed him, then I reloaded a save game at the start of the grotto, but the construct is not spawned anymore..

Every time you save and load in the cave it despawns. I tried quick saving before approaching it the first time I saw it and when I reloaded it was gone. Loading a save from before entering respawns it, but you still can't interact with it, meaning the quest is currently unable to progress.

I might have a solution, at least it worked for me. Stand on the left side of the construct, while looking at his shoulder/head area spam your interact button. If it doesn't work at first try moving a bit to the left or right untill you find the right spot.

If it works let us know so that others may see and use this "workaround".

Yeah, this let me start the conversation, took a very specific angle to start the conversation but once I found it I could back out and restart the conversation as much as I wanted to (as long as I kept trying from the same angle).

I completely broke this quest. Because I couldn't speak to him, I tried hitting him and killed him in 1 hit. I tried loading a previous save, even 10 minutes before doing killing, but he is gone.

The only solution is to load a save before you entered the cave.

Hopefully they fix the quickloading bug where he's gone permanently. Apparently I quicksave a lot because all my quick saves are inside the cave already. If I want to use a save that's before I entered the cave it's going to take me back 11 hours of played time. lol

Now that I know there are bugs like this I'm going to have to start making named save "checkpoints"

I'm betting act 3 is going to be the most bumpy ride since it got no testing in early access.

Yeah, act 3 is just "oof". Act 2 had some issues here and there but nothing major. Act 3 however needs alot of work.

I went down to the place where the altar is, and there is no Construct. I see a stone statue to the right of the portal, across from the altar, but thats it.

my most recent file outside of the cave is 1 hour and 3 levels old the construct can eat ****

I knew I should have manual saved before entering the cave. Now the quest is bricked. I am not going back 3 hours to do this one.
