Phantom Oxcart

[Ferhist]

I'm trying to do the quest, I was able to pass myself off as a pawn but I took out a weapon to attack the goblin, since the coachman flees as soon as he sees me, does anyone have a solution?

[Halsin]

I'm having the exact same issue, now whenever i come close to speak to him he just says : "Who are you ?" and runs away...

[Kenzeno]

Same here, except that the he flees with the cart. But if I follow the cart, it dissapears at the point where the goblin attack was.

edit: what worked for me now was that i slowly appraoched the cart without trying to talk with the coachman like in the first try. the cart will start to move (he is not fleeing) and I followed in a safe distance. soon after the point where the goblin attack was, i got a cutscene and the quest moved on.

[Halsin]

I tried to do that, but it still disappears. maybe i'll try increasing the distance

[Halsin]

Well, it did work indeed. He disappears if you are too far away. Thank you Kenzo, you're a time saver ! <3

[Ferhist]

i will try thanks

I'm so tired of doing this quest, i think mine is bugged. blue lit oxcart appears after sunset, if i approach, nothing happens even when at walking pace, naked, no weapons or rings. Mansenn just shouts "Who are you?" when I talk to him, doesnt even run away or anything. just stands there in front of the pawns. I can repeatedly talk to him but he just shouts the same "Who are you?"

EDIT: FOUND A FIX FOR ANYONE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM
-One of the characters died, "Navil" soldier who should be speaking with Mansenn. I was annoyed and checked out the morgue, turned out he was there. This happened to most people complaining on reddit. It's such an annoying game design that makes quests unresponsive.

So uh... I never got around to do this quest, it now says "DIscontinued: The Phanom Oxcart" in the completed section of quests.. I'm guessing that means its failed and was time sensitive?

Ask yourself. Did the other pawns use weapons? Do you stand out now?

It's not time sensitive, it's progress sensitive like The Caged Magistrate. If a quest is time sensitive then it will have an hourglass on the quest page where the pawns hand print would be. However there is no indicator for progress quests, complete a specific main story quest and it will be discontinued. For example; talking to Captain Brant and selecting "About the coronation..." after witnessing the event during the MSQ Feast Of Deception causes The Caged Magistrate to be discontinued.
