Bug founded big one DONT DO THE MASTER ARMORERS QUEST

[DenzStrife]

its quite simple you can do the quest until you get the tools set for the quest after that
youll have to give them to fergus some blablabla and youll have to hunt an archgriffin this is where the bug could start ...right after the fight things started to go worng i was always in fight mod ,npcs was standing there like a tree not moving.. i reloaded an auto save ,and no more music ever some npcs and monster never appeared..
I needed to reload my game to the moment i took the tools..

Be carefull on that

Found another bug same quest! When they test the armor the bolt that is supposed to test your armor MISSES! The guy COMPLETELY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MISSES and keeps missing! Now why is this completely game breaking? The answer is because you're completely locked out as a story vehicle. You can'tmove, takenew quests etc etc. This worked before 1.05, and I understand the difficulty, but ho-ly crap this is one of the worst patches I have ever seen and I played X-Rebirth.

Finnished the quest yesterday without any issues.

Yeah, I'm sure I've got something wonky somewhere. It makes me wonder if Nvidia isn't investing into established consoles and rolling out crappy physx. Of course that's ridiculous but it helps me sleep to imagine there is a reason for that besides "do you have any idea how complicated this ♥♥♥♥ is?"

i have another bug... no matter what i try (be it Shotting, Meditating or Doing Sword dances in the *archgriffins nest) i Simply cannot get it to land... it just keeps Flying around in circles while Shrieking. there where one time it landed but as soon as it landed it took off again and did the Same ****ing Pattern. is it me doing something wrong or is this Quest line simply to buggy for such a major questline(i mean it is the only Master amour there is.

Best advice I can give is to spam the target lock command and be ready to fire your crossbow. Shooting that bow against moving targets doesn't work too well otherwise.

[watcherzero]

You can also use axii against flying targets if they arent too far away, same effect as bow.

I'm at the same bit, he fires and completely misses me, then nothing happens after. I've done it six times now and misses every time, it’s really frustrating.

Had the same problem. On reload, I first brought the griffin's head to the quartermaster, and told the general that the girl was the true artisan outright. After, the bolt hit and the quest finished. Not sure if any of this made the difference, but it's worth a shot if you're stuck on it.

[DigitalxDream]

He wont even talk to me at this point. "I'm a wee bit busy" "Sorry I've armor to finish, we'll talk later"

I just did Master Armorer and everything is fine here, check your mods or something?

I've reloaded the armour test 5 times and he's still missing, guess I don't get my mastercrafted gear

Dear god, in my case the bolt HITS me every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time but then NOTHING HAPPENED. Geralt can't moved and the other guy just came back up like nothing happened. Guess i have to use the console to spawn my Viper Armor set.

For those that have the bug where the bolt hits you, bounces off, and then everyone just stands there doing nothing while you are stuck, make sure you don't have any equipped gear with the "DEFLECTION" Enchantment (deflects all arrows). You'll need to un-equip that item before turning in the acid to Yoana.

Deflection prevents the arrow from being deflected by the actual quest armor you are wearing, so the NPC's "think" you haven't been shot at yet. A good clue is that when the bolt hits you, it should bounce away without any sort of "spark-flash" effect, which is the animation used by the enchantment. Normally, the bolt simply bounces away with a short tracer.

Sounds like a reasonable explanation. IIRC i have equipped a gear with that enchantment. Gonna give this a try later.

I had the same issue and wasn't wearing/using anything with a deflect enchant. After reloading the post-griffin fight autosave and manual save multiple times to no avail, I made a save file standing right in front of the blacksmiths, quit the game and restarted from THAT save file. For some reason that fixed the bug for me. Maybe someone else will find that helpful.
