Invisible Bird Trap Set

[OxenWright]

I am doing the Nightengale quest and I dropped a bird trap, recieved a trap set message, and left to come back and find the trap missing. It does show up on my map as shield C "Trap Set", but does not appear on the ground. I have two birds already, this is the last one. Advice?

[Devokh]

Oh, so you need to drop it.. is it in quest item ? could not find the trap last time..

[BaronSamedi]

same here, i dont ♥♥♥♥ know what i should do with that invisible ♥♥♥♥

How tf did you even catch birds? They just disappear after I wait

I have the same issue. I have two birds catched, but the last bird cage just doesnt show on the spot where i dropped it, tho it shows on the map with the symbol to it.

When i catched the second bird, i had to use one potion to save on the spot, and reload, then the cage reappeared again. Didnt work on the last one :( Used all my potions for it..saving..reloading etc. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Alright, so let me break down what I did and more detail, since I think it might help.

First, I can distinctly make out that sound that the Hunter makes. If you cross the river, through the fishing spot, head directly north west up the hill. Near the "Interesting Site", you'll find a flat hilltop where the sound is quite loud.

So here is what I did: I crouched, and I tried to move slowly around until I found the loudest point. This -seemed- to be a spot on the ground where a layer of sticks were. I would slowly drop cages, one at a time, moving around until once a trap is dropped you get the message "Trap Set!". I would then pick up the other traps.

I generally would drop a trap and then come back a day later. I would find the box _with_ a towel over the top. When I picked it up, it would identify it as a quest item with a bird inside.

However, now, I have dropped my third trap, and it has shown up on the map itself as marker "C", but does not actually appear at the site.

If there is a way to buy more traps, or create them, maybe I can fix this. It appears I cannot turn in the two birds to complete the quest with the Hunter.

Same issue here. Damn this game is buggy. It really has the potential to be great, but so many frustrations keep it from that.

[OxenWright]

I dunno. I think it's pretty great. You're always gonna have bugs somewhere.

What's probably happening is, that you're moving the item to your horse instead of dropping it. Default keybinding for moving to your horse is X while holding X is dropping to the ground. Let me know if this was your issue.

Accessing your horse inventory can be done by pressing 'B' near your horse. See if the traps are in his inventory now.

No,it's not horse fault, it's a bug i have the same issue. 2 cage are ok but missed one

[Siliskor]

Ok, I see. How I completed it, and I hope this works for you too, is by collecting the birds 1 by 1. I did the following:

1. Set the trap.
2. Take 1 step back.
3. Wait for 1 hour by pressing 'T'.
4. The bird should be in the cage -> Collect it
5. Repeat above with the next bird.

Also make sure nothing is very close or touching the cage. Your horse should take some distance as well and don't drop it into a tree.

I accidently put the trap into my horse, a marker appeared and I wonered where the trap is, after I got it back from my horse and threw it to the ground I had no problem collecting them later.

In my case I didn't have a horse when I took on this quest. It's def not in the horse for me.

I know for sure I left two cages and did not go 1 by 1. When I left two cages, one of the two disappeared, and one did have the bird.

The third cage shows up on the map, but does not show up in the game world in such a way I can pick it up.

Annoying. I think this quest is broken for me.

this is the most f*ked up thing i enountered in this bugfest yet.

Same here, got the two birds trapped, the last trap disappeared after catching the bird. Shows on the map but cannot see or interact with it on the ground.

This worked perfectly for me, thanks!
