Playing with the devil quest won't progress (Spoilers)

[Skywatcher]

I talked to father Goodwin and the herb woman in the forest. Now I am supposed to follow the women of Uzhitz after dark to the forest, but no matter how long I wait, they just won't show up and go to the forest. Tried waiting near the house and also some distance away so they hopefully won't spot me. What am I supposed to do to get this quest going ?

Have you spoken to one of the women?

[Gerdruids]

talk to each of the women. each one gives a clue as to where the meeting is to be. after you talk then you can wait in that area till they show. up after dusk. If your stealth is high enough you simply walk slowly behind them and then wait and see .

Try maybe doing one more of the main quests, and then returning to the women in Uzhits when you have done that. I had a similar problem with a sidequest and i just ended up giving up on it. But when i went and did one or two of the main missions and then returned, then the bug had gone away and i could move on with the sidequest too.
Also try seaching google if anyone have had the same bug.

Don't know if this will help your specific problem, but i have read on several forums that progressing the main quest line can sometimes solve a lot of sidequest bugs.

Hope it works out for you!

Right, I reloaded the save from the start of the quest. This time I kept my distance well and truly. Also I did not do "The horse that bolted" quest meanwhile to kill time before it became night. Waited till about 22:00 and then spotted them on the map going to the woods and followed them. Everything went well, all quests succeeded, I was not spotted. But when the moment came they were supposed to change into a horse, pig and chicken the women stayed as themselves, the dialogue between Henry and the horse (that was invisible) started but after that no devils showed up. Zlata and Khuta just walked off to Uzhitz only Vera stayed at the fire, but I could not interact with her any more.... This game baffles me really.

Sorry if I'm about to necro this post, but the first time I encountered this, they saw me when I was sneaking. Then when I went to the location the next night, two of them were bugged and not moving while one of them is at the meeting place, which causes them not to start walking to the actual location.

So I did what a gentleman in the medieval times do, I sneak up behind each of them and knocked them out. Then I hid behind a bush a bit far from them and waited. As soon as I'm done waiting, all of them are awake again, and they started to gather at the starting location. Then I just followed them and started the quest normally.

The first time i did it - they also saw me - but there´s a cutscene - they call You in - sort of. Actually i don´t remember if the cutscene started immediately - or after i had to get closer manually. Another time i managed not to get spot - because i knew what was happening - but after a while the new objective is to get closer to them and interrupt them. At least that part played out the same. Just saying.

Also did the quest at two completely different times in the mainquest - one time very early, after talking to father Godwin - the other time relatively late - but before nest of vipers, but i just picked it up and did a couple of quests in that area later - and i didn´t pick it up at father Godwin, but at the herb woman. Never had an issue. Perhaps this specific problem was patched out? Or do You mean You got spotted when they were moving there? I don´t know about that, because it starts to get dark and they have torches - it´s easy to keep a bigger distance and see them. The first time i didn´t know how close i could get after they were at their place - i was a bit surprised to get spotted.

The first part of the quest is a test of your patience and stalking skills.

Once you've figured out when they'll make their trip, you may have to wait around for several hours until they begin to move.

The women eventually converge on the road leading into the forest from three different parts of town.

You need to stay back and out of sight until they've all caught up with each other and are in a single group.

After that you should close the distance a bit, but watch out, you're very visible when walking on the road.

On the right-hand side of the road there's some tall grass and obstacles that you can put between you and them so they don't see you while you close the distance.

Just before they enter the forest they'll stop and have a conversation. You'll want to be close enough to hear this conversation, but if you get too close they'll realize you're there and the quest will be scrubbed.

If they don't realize you're there, you'll need to stalk them into the forest, hiding behind trees as you move along.

This is the easy and most satisfying part of the quest.

All 3 of the women are stuck for me working in their gardens. Cannot talk to them and nothing
