Ludern - The Ghost Menace - Stuck

[Olleus]

Spoilers galore.

I'm stuck on the this particular quest in Ludern, the ghost pack tracks aren't showing any more. I went to the Secluded Cottage and found the scholar, and got his map. I took him to the location on the map (just east of the Garussa Clan), interacted with the caravan of dead people, and got the proper dialogue pop up and the ghost pack trail showed as it should. Didn't have time to deal with it then, so I went on with my business, which included selling the map to said location.

Now I've returned, and I'm not seeing blood trail at all; day or night. I went pack to the trader and bought the map back, didn't help. Clicking on the dead caravan brings up the "they were butchered" text that it had before this quest was started.

Any one know where the ghost pack is for this particular quest so I can go straight to it? I have no idea how to progress otherwise, I don't even have a save file from before I took the quest anymore.

I'm not sure about the location but that quest has two parts:

First you need to find the pack and capture some of the wolves for him. If you still have the chains he gives you at the start of the battle you can probably capture other ghost animals for him than from that pack.

Second you go with a group of hunters to find out what he did with those ghost animals, the rest of the quest is interesting so I won't spoil it.

Thank you! I just went to a random ghost pack (in the forests above Morrigan's farm) and the professor's dialogue triggered and he gave me the Alazarian chains, so I think I'm back on track for the quest now!

Still a bug though.

i dont think that it is a bug. It is a bit obvious i think, imo.

The bug is that the blood tracks dissappear after the first time you look at the, (or if you sell the map). That's not how any of the other hunts work. Indeed, it's not how any other quest in the whole game works - they're all frozen in time and can be started and finished at any time. There's no way that the disappearing blood tracks and the fact that any ghost pack appears to work is intended behaviour. Obvious or not, unintended behaviour is the definition of a bug.

Has this bug been resolved? I don't see any tracks. I accidentally sold (and immediately re-bought) the map, but I wasn't seeing any tracks for ages before that happened anyway.

I had the same issue, did same as you and triggered professors dialogue to continue.

it's super important to attack the pack WITHOUT the ambush buff. if your group gets the ambush icon, the cutscene won't trigger
