Father Simon

[Wizard]

Because Father Simon is bugged in Man of the Cloth, his absence breaks the quest In God's Hands.
In Man of the Cloth, I found Father Simon being held captive. It was supposed to be 2 peasants holding him, but I only recall one. Anyway, I convinced the peasants to leave and when they did Father Simon just took off with them/him. Quest log said he told me things, like he is going back to the village to be their priest again, but I never had a chance to talk to him, he just left. I went back to the village and he was not there, the quest never got updated, and quest still asking me to find Father Simon or Skallitz Priest.

I was doing In God's Hands, they asked me to find Father Simon and giving me a map marker where he was supposed to be after I rescued him, except he is not there. I later found Priest of Skallitz by accident in a shop. I convinced him town of Rovna needs a priest, he agreed and I get find Father Simon failure. Even though I already rescued him with no update to that fact.

Which one, be more specific please. This quest is a bit of a mess, but Simon usually is in Rovna after the rescue

Have you checked the little cottage on top of the hill sat against the forest with the church on its immediate right? If you look at the map, it's to the left of the "Rovna" town name banner.

Edit: let us know, but if he's not there, the quickest fix might be to reload a save from before you went to find the good old Father :-/

That Skalitiz priest in Sasau never actually goes to Rovna though despite saying that he will. (its a very old bug I believe)

This. KCD is a bit bug-ridden and most of the times the easiest solution is just to reload a previous save. That's why I recommended just getting a save mod and saving often to save yourself a bit of pain.

Indeed he never leaves! I'm not positive they'll fix that, if ever...

All quests done in the monastery need some sort of permanent back-up save it seems. The main quest visit there breaks easily, In God's Hands can break as OP witnessed, The House of God seems to be the buggiest one of all, I'm almost sure it destroyed two of my four playthroughs, some have said even Weeds doesn't work right now.

During the quest "in gods hand" i found pater simon in a cave beside a small creek to the west of skalitz. I could speak to him there and he gave me the stuff to heal phillip right there.

I got too many hours in after Man of Cloth quest. I am not reloading. If any of this BS breaks the main quest let me know now please, so I can move on to another game.
