The prodigal son

[Dustbunney]

So im not sure if my quest is bugged or im just blind and missing something obvious. My quest circle is around the manor for this quest, and i have looked on both floors looking for clues. I found 1 clue about the artist square. But when i go to the artist square i can only talk to 1 person, watch the 2 people perform and see another 3 people standing next to the stage. If anyone got a hint for what im missing some help would be nice :D

I also used that guy ... really sad to implement such a feature and then punish you for using it with being stuck in the quest :/

I think it is more then that. cause youtube playtrough of larcath showed he was able to talk to the girl even while using the puzzle solver...

Probaly the timing of the Quest he played on DAY 1 too.. probaly recorded it ahead of time.
his episode. or maybe some patch borked it :P if he had early access to Gosenberg.

I just looked at his vid from when he did the puzzle. He didnt use the puzzle helper guy, he did the puzzle himself. If it was the vid from 2 days ago you were talking about.

Ah you are correct :( it was youtube play trough from Neyreyan .. but he played later probaly after the hotfix ...

Sorry I stand corrected and wrong in this case.
Seems the puzzle guy solver was the issue on day 1 ..

I saw Neyreyan vid a few days ago, cause i was wondering if his quest bugged out since he used the puzzle guy. Sadly he stopped that vid right after he did the puzzle so couldnt see if it worked or not for him. But his next part is out now and it looks bugged. The purple circle didnt move and the Artist square is not showing the right people. It is a shame such a thing is enough to lock the questchain :(

Don't worry atleast they narrow it down .. then makes the fix easier .. so it isn't a Complete LOCK OUT as I feared that needs a save EDIT from the DEV .. sadly when they going to fix it is unknown :(
That is one of the reason I play with FREE save mode, to track down what really caused a bug or not.

But I understand your feeling have to go back 10 hours to get back a Legendary , cause of a bug ... don't even feel like doing that Troll Gosenberg Tomb again :P

[Dustbunney]

Saw someone had posted about the bug on the report site, so hoping it gets attention and becomes a prio for a future hotfix

Was it fixed? I only got Prodigal Son quest highlighted with purple. Solved with the solver as well, can't progress this quest now. Also stuck with the eel broth.

[Dustbunney]

There is a hotfix and it says Fixed an issue when Solvius, the Great Solveriser, was asked to help solve the puzzle in Lyderic Ald Hoevendorp's Bedroom. Havent had a chance to check if it is working yet, but crossing my fingers for it

[MyMy]

Yes, thank you, just found it's fixed now. Clicked something on the second floor and the quest has appeared on the map.

Patch pushed today should have fixed it

[SpritneyBears]

fixed it for me :)
You have to enter the Hoevendorp Manor again, go up the stairs and interact with the table again. After that the purple circle moves to the artists square
