Bugged Griffin Head Trophy Cannot Be Removed From Inventory (Unsellable, Undroppable)

[Çylladora Vanyamar]

Has anyone else experienced this? No quest remains undone involving the griffin head trophy from very early on in the game. Now I cannot get rid of it or sell it and it is oddly colored red and not in quest items but in the trophies section.

Never experienced a trophy being stuck. Heads of monsters are trophies, not quest items. There's a trophy section for a reason. Why do you want to get rid of it or sell it? Trophies provide you with a small bonus. Just unequip it if you don't want it on Roach (it's unequipped just like any other equipment). Although I do recommend having any trophy equipped because of the bonus.

I hear you - just that some trophies have identical bonuses (e.g. already have the Archgriffin trophy which has 10% chance to dismember same as the Griffin that is somehow in the trophies section with the exact same bonus but is marked red like a quest item would be). Seems buggy. Dunno when it happened but wasn't always like that O_o Cannot drop it or do anything with it. https://imgur.com/a/NjAjwHK

Don't use any mods at all, so beats me. Not a huge deal but will extra annoying if it carried over into NG+ like that too lol

True, I assumed this was your first trophy.

I've had no issue with selling extras or unequipping any equipment for that matter. Perhaps equipping a different trophy could switch them out, or try the basics like exiting the game and relaunching it or reload earlier save which often resolves many issues

Might just have to bite the bullet and do a reload of an earlier save as the swapping trophies or restarts didn't seem to help alas. Thanks asarokk, and happy hunting. =)

I have 1 trophy that's red aswell. I don't think the griffin though. I'll check later.

ive had this exact bug, was a royal griffin esq special boss from when i finally got the master armourer female done. found out that to finally get rid of it i had to hand it into a one time reward giving npc *near the master craftswoman and quartermaster thats there*. npc is unmarked and had no quest step to go see. might be this.

other one i had was similar, cant remember the quest but basically gave me a duplicate head i couldnt store/sell/move. ended up (again) being a quest i had done whilst doing my normal wondering about caves, never realised i had to give it in until i went through and completed all the witcher contracts.

You're welcome, hope reloading an earlier save will do the trick. Looks like this has happened to other players, don't remember any threads about it before the next-gen update

I had the same issue but the thing is just the sparkles of the loot are not clear enough. You gotta look carefully, white sparkles, you'll see it.
