Caed Nua missing visitors

[Wario]

Other than the Great Hall, is there any other location in Caed Nua where visitors would be waiting?

Normally they wait at the Great Hall, but at the moment I have two visitors that are nowhere to be found.

Coincidence or not, this started since I triggered the "Hiravias" bug.

That sounds like a bug if it's the 1st time you'd be meeting them. On the other hand, if you've already met w/ them and they return later to your stronghold, it's for things like temporary Prestige boosts or--if you're lucky--Azzuro's back to sell you some items you won't get elsewhere. In these instances, they are not physically present (e.g., you would purchase Azzuro's items from the same submenu of the fortress that you accept adventures from...).

[Wario]

Thanks for answering.

Actually, two of them have visited before and have already been helped: Lord Sidroc and Berolt. So that might be the case you mentioned.

However, a new visitor just arrived (Odeyna Fyrgest) and this one never visited, but still isn't showing up in the Hall. This one might be bugged then.

Being most helpful to them, you can get permanent Prestige boosts from these visitors (list probably not complete, fyi):
Geyda; Odeyna Fyrgest; Berolt...all net you +1 Prestige
Lord Sidroc...nets you +3 Prestige

Sounds like you are still experiencing a bug, and I note you replied to my other thread and said you didn't get a patch today, which I can't explain either.

Sometimes you net something positive even from a "bad visitor". For example, I paid for the departure of Nyry the Deft Hand and was rewarded w/ the unique Cape of the Cheat. W/ Gafol the Drunkard, by paying off his debts, I got a minor Rep boost in Dyrford Village.

Azzuro is at my stronghold, but I cant find him. Where does he usually spawn? I found him the first time, but afterwards nothing. This time he appeared, but wasnt named in the notice just called him "He" but it says Azzuro is there. I see him nowhere in the hall, and I cant click on anything o the page I accept adventures on. (I did finally get an adventure)

I'm pretty sure you only see him the 1st time you meet him. When he shows up again, it's typically to sell you items, which you can find in the same screen where you assign people for adventures. That said, sometimes I'm not sure the game tells you; I've stumbled across some things for sale from him out of the blue.

I suppose it's possible he shows up and does nothing, but I can't confirm. Anyway, he comes and goes.

The actions page or whatever its called. Yeah, his entry is blank. tells me a name, says prestigious visitor, and tells me he will stay for 8 more days. Not like ive got the money to be buying stuff from a rare items merchant probably, maybe thats why I dont even get an offer?

No, the game doesn't make offers based on your current wealth. But now you have me wondering...if he stays for 8 days, it's possible that at some point during that little vacation, he sells you items. Try to remember every 24 hours or so to see if there's something for sale.

Or make a save, and then travel back and forth someplace that takes about 24 hours, checking each time a day passes if he has something to offer...until he leaves. Should only take a few minutes to test this, and then just go back to that save.

Nope, Hes shown up once or twice on the list as a visitor, but cant buy anything his entry is blank except for a name. other times he appears and I get the "offers to sell you an X" thing where I can buy whatever hes selling me. I suspect its a weird bug, because sometimes I get visitors and it never identifies them (not as in they are generics) it just says "He was waylaid by bandits, but your guards blah blah blah" no names or further identification and seeminlg any guest could then be there if I check the list.

I'm experiencing a problem finding and interacting with Odeyna Fyrgest (and I have no idea if this "very distinguished veteran of the Saint's War" has ever been by before, though I'd like to think I'd remember!), who has been announced as a guest. I can't find this person anywhere in the keep, and believe me, I've looked!

When I talk to the Keeper (or whatever that weird thing at the front of the Hall is) it tells me I have a DV, that they are an inspiration to my guards, and maybe we could get them to chronicle their exploits? But there's nothing in the Keep journal that allows me to interact with them, and if I can't find them, I can't talk to them.

BTW: don't know the current version, but it's clear that you've patched the game fairly recently--like today or maybe yesterday. I can tell because the "Attack" pointer is now a bright red! :-)

Can confirm this bug is real. Friggin' annoying af. Devs have moved on to POE2, so prolly no fix.

Can confirm this bug still exists. Sometimes Azzuro visits and I can't buy anything from the H screen, nor does he physically appear anywhere in the keep.

[Jelly Donut]

what causes the bug and what is the "what-not-to-do" to prevent it from happening?

Yeah, I'm hoping they'd implement AI editting like in PoE2. Like you said the devs have moved on.

I'm having the same issue and frankly, devs should have some legal obligation to fix these sorts of bugs or give the game away for free. The Merchant wants help with the brigands on the road. I send the short-s-h-i-t ranger chick. The Odeyna Fyrgest chick, I cannot find. And someone else wants to get a prisoner to experiment on. I'd gladly give them one, but they aren't showing up either, not even in the dungeons. Since the devs and the company still had time and money to do the White Marches, they should bloody well fix these bugs.

PS, don't censor the word s-h-i-t. We're all adults, or should be.

You must be kidding. The random stronghold events are not essential stuff, and if they break, you get to keep the pieces. It doesn't break the game.

You don't need to. If she's mentioned on the stronghold management screen, you choose what to do with her on the same screen. No need to search for her within the keep, if she stays.

Some stronghold events are handled entirely on the stronghold management screen. In that case, no visitor visits the main hall for an audience.
