Griffin Hunt Glitch?

[Heckles]

Hey y'all, I might just be doing something wrong, but I want to make sure i'm not dealing with a glitch that won't let me finish the game because I cannot finish the quest.
I'm doing the Griffin Hunt quest, and have gotten to the point where I have to pick up a goblin corpse and put it in the circle to lure the griffin out, but as soon as I get near the circle with the corpse, the cutscene will play that shows to put it in the circle, but the goblin will despawn. this has happened over and over again, and I'm convinced this is a glitch.

If y'all have encountered this, what did you do to fix it? Thanks!

No worries if you don't complete this particular quest as far as being able to finish the game.

there should be spiders nearby in the bushes that also will work, try those, otherwise try restarting from last checkpoint

you can also come back this quest after having done another event.

A cutscene plays AFTER you have brought the bait to the marker? That's odd. It should be played on reaching this place.
Maybe there's something wrong with your game files. Try this procedure

If this won't help I suggest loading the checkpoint and starting the quest again. There's no point dragging it with a glitch on your back.

BTW You can clear this quest by simply killing any Griffin.

Dont stand in the circle with it, throw it inside from outside.
Also as mentionned above, it also works with the small spiders, advantage being that pawns dont attack spiders, so you will easily be able to find one alive even if pawns accompany you.

>I'll try this when I have time, thanks. otherwise, I might do the method some others have suggested with the spiders.
I think i misworded it:
whenever i do end up getting close to the circle to set the corpse in/throw it in, it will play the cutscene revealing the circle and then despawn the corpse.

I believe spider will work

over 400 hours (mostly looping bb), today i learned you can pick up spiders.

This goblin. Is it from somewhere around the marker?
Or you have dragged it there from below?

Anyway, this is how it looks when the quest script works properly.

The cut scene plays only once.

Spiders really work the best. Especially for speedruns. Takes literally no time to portcrystal in, grab a spider and jump with it to the circle.
