Mithril Megapult Issue
The cave near Hobbiton with the 3 targets for Ori to hit with his slingshot; I've been up to look at the birds, I've tried changing my graphics and all that like I've seen suggested, I've tried heaps of things and nothing I do allows the targets to be targetted by Ori's slingshot. They don't get the bracket things around them at all and I'm just unable to shoot them. I've seen this problem on alot of forums and I think it's just a PC thing. Has anyone managed to get it to work?

so i was playing again after some time and looked up how to fix the bug. i tried agian just now and it worked i finaly got it. The tipp from goku with the hint stones did the trick, thanks man. You have to quit the game after enabling the option though, as it did not work for me otherwise.
ik this is an old thread but this worked for me

I was playing this game using my TV as a monitor. None of the fixes worked for me and I was at 99% completion with nothing left to get but the Megapult and turn in the Beanstalk quest that only unlocks after you turn in the Megapult.

On a whim, I turned off the TV, and used my standard PC monitor trying all of the low quality graphics settings and it finally showed up.

I had to set Hint Icons to Always On, and start the "Weighting for a Stranger" quest to make the hint stones appear, then the quest worked, and I got the Mithril Megapult.

So I have the same problem now. But I recognized that - after restarting the game and fast travelling to Hobbinton - the "hint stone" next to the entrance is actually there but disappears within seconds. Are there any other tricks I can try or are there any cheat codes for the megapult to get all achievements?

i gave up
Had the same issue, the hints disappeared with hints always on when the door loaded in. Reinstalling the game and booting it with mouse and keyboard for the first time (without the controller plugged in) solved it for me. Maybe it is playing with (PS4-)Controller on PC what triggers the glitch, because when I plugged it back in the game froze for a few seconds.

Changing hint icons to always on, vsync to 30, texture quality to low, save and exit worked for me. Thanks guys.

Changing hint icons always on, vsync to 30, texture quality to low, saving and exiting without coming back to the game while the screen is back, then loading and fast traveling to Hobbiton and riding a horse to the cave entrance worked out for me. My game was also on 1024x780 if it had any influence on it.
