Bestower Ran Off

[Talonus_Reford]

I have both ideology and Royalty DLCs and for the Acolyte ceremony I created the throne room and then called in the Bestower. They showed up but promptly left the map.... what. Is there a way to reset the quest?

The quest will keep popping up until you complete it.

When everyone gathered in the area to do the bestowing, the cleanliness probably went down and caused the impressiveness to go down as well. This caused your pawn to not be qualified for the bestowing. Toss in a couple statues and re-do it when you're +5 the required impressiveness and the room is clean.

The quest should show up in the Available tab of Quests very quickly. Like within a minute if not immediately.

I still have the quest though it never went away.

Yea, just accept it when you meet the requirements again. Just know that impressiveness will go down a couple points when everyone gathers in the throne room.

I cant accept a quest that is already accepted though....unless I am missing something

When the Bestower left the map the quest never went away in the first place so it still thinks the original quest is active.

Did the bestower make it off the map and is the quest showing under Active or Available in quest menu? Can you show a screenshot?

Another reason the Bestower may run off is hostiles show up on the map.

Bestower walked off the map and the quest is in the Active tab.

That's weird. Can you cancel the quest? If you cancel it, it should generate a new one a few days later. Did it give you a reason for why the bestower left? Like, enemies of the bestower's faction are on the map, dangerous temperature, etc? Make sure the bestower can reach the throne, the throne can't be blocked, and maybe the throne needs to be owned by the pawn?

I thought if the room got dirty, it would tell you that the bestower will not perform the ceremony under those conditions? Did I imagine that?

Save right before you call in the bestower in case it happens again.

I got 0 indication as to why the bestower left and I cant cancel the quest... something is bugged. Is there a way to force cancel it with the debug menu or something?

I can dismiss the quest to the historical tab but I cant actually cancel it.

Enable dev mode and there should be an option to make the quest expire. Then either spawn the quest again or wait for it to show up, I think, 10 days later.

i dunno if this will bring them back, but what i do know is that you should make sure to put down a party spot to where you want the bestowing to happen, as they default to the party spot.

The party/gathering spot is only for the yeoman ceremony though. Acolyte+ need a throneroom.

[Talonus_Reford]

Going into Dev mode and force clearing the quest fixed it. Got a new quest available and it worked fine.

No idea why it broke in the first place though.

I had the exact same thing; activated the quest, they arrived via shuttle and then wondered off map!
Dev mode worked for me too. I did notice this was pretty much straight away after Ideology came out and I was playing before any updates came out so maybe a bug

My bestower arrived by shuttle and just left the map, without entering the throneroom. The quest "Count ceremony" is still listed in Active. How do I remove it with dev tools?
