Hey dainey,

Judging by the colour of the flag in the gates I'd say the enemy was already there and dug it up before you. Just a theory though, never heard a bug that made the grail not be in place.
If it's a campaign map, try restarting the scenario and rush it there now that you know where it is.

Hey Ɣɪ¢♰ɪɱƧ,

You are indeed correct, the images shared do point to the enemy already having been there and dug it. Thank you for taking your time out to share your knowledge and experience.

Hi drainey,

Thank you for reaching out and sorry to hear that you were not expecting this.

To help us verify if this is exactly what happened, would it be possible to share with us a link to a video using a third party video sharing website of your choice? This would be especially useful if you are able to restart the scenario and we can see how this happened.

Many thanks,

- Ubisoft Support

i was there before it had been dug. unless it doesnt let me know it was dug up by the another plazyer with a dug graphic on screen.... i dug up the whole area trying to find it.

What map/campaign is it ? Restart the map, use cheats, and go directly to the spot and see if it IS there at all.

If we're talking about a campaign map I think you have two choices:
- Keep playing the map and kill all enemy heroes. If one of them had the Grail it confirms the enemy dug it and you didn't see it (whether it was because of a bug or because an overlooking issue). If nobody had it there's still the chance that their hero died before reaching any of its cities.
- Repeat the map and rush the dig. Record it if you can just in case, like Ubi-WheelyDuck said. In hard mode, the AI looks for the dig site before checking all monoliths so it's not rare that they reach it before you do. If you find it then it's all good. If you don't then you'll replicate the problem and will have better info for the support crew to find the issue.

wouldnt it have a dig graphics though to show its been dug in that area already?

Yes it would, that's why I say that there's a chance that due to a visual bug maybe you didn't see the enemy dig site. That said, both cases are pretty rare (I've never heard of anything like that at least, which doesn't mean that can't happen). Both cases being that either the grail was bugged or the dig sprite was bugged.

The only instances where grail bugs may happen (again, AFAIK) are when making maps and they are not exactly bugs, it's just the game behaviour. Like if a map maker creates a grail digging site but puts no obelisks in the map the grail will never be dug even if someone digs in its exact spot.

Not that I know of. The campaign is pretty solid, I finished the whole game without a single bug. That's not to say that it's impossible to find any but it's hard to judge with one image what happened.
