Contract: The Phantom of Eldberg not starting.

[JSOCOM]

So I was going for a 100% completion and needed to do this quest, but I have been unable to trigger it. It is not completed or in my contract list, and I haven't started King's Gambit yet because I haven't even started the prerequisite quests. So I fought during the wake in the quest The King Is Dead- Long Live The King and also picked up all the notices in Arinbjorn, as well as went into the inn and lighthouse to see if I could start it there... Nothing.

Other things I have tried:
-verify integrity of game files- fixed 1 issue but I guess it wasn't this.
-fast traveled around and waited a few days and tried picking up the notices again.
- talking to Crach or Madman Lugos again... nothing.
- trying to find Jorund, IDK where he would be at this point, but he's not in the tavern.
- spawning all the items in my inventory related to "mh207", which I assume is the quest because it has the same code as the letter and lighthouse key, nothing was in there to trigger it and no wraiths are hanging out around the lighthouse either.
-looking for the notice in my inventory, the one attached to the quest is "Monster on the High Road", which doesn't make any sense but it has the same beginning code as the lighthouse key or the letter

Please help, I really want to continue this save and not miss anything.

You have to finish "The King is Dead, Long Live the King" quest first.
You can start this quest a few different ways:

- talk to Jorund directly in Arinbjorn's tavern (first deal with Kori and Kraki)
- find the notice on Arinbjorn's notice board
- during The King is Dead – Long Live the King, defeat Madman Lugos in a fistfight and he'll remark on it
- investigate the area directly (use witcher sences, before you enter the lighthouse examine something written on the wall ( right side of the door)find a letter inside)

The King is Dead- Long Live the King is completed. Jorund is not in the tavern, there are no more notices that pick up, I defeated Madman Lugos in a fist fight, and I've been to the lighthouse which had nothing on the wall. I even used the console to let myself in and it still wouldn't trigger

Maybe something got glitched, there's an old thread with some tips
