bowl from the cave, someone managed to return it?

[Rico]

Title! Trying to just skip it bugs my game since urban triggers an infinite loading screen of hate.

[powrwolf2]

So I am right at the quest now and I can confirm that 2025 the quest is still bugged. I did some testing to see how you can still complete the quest if you happened to pick up the bowl before you started the quest. Just go to the church and get the bone from the grave. Now I just testet it with giving Urban the bowl. After that I went back to the cave and pressed the use button to put the bowl back. Nothing happened of course. Then I killed a random person and got put into jail for 10 days. Then I talked to Urban again and he accused me of stealing and I got the infinite loading screen. So then I reloaded and gave him the bone and took the money. Then I still went back to the cave and pressed the use button to try to put the bowl back. Didnt work again. Then I killed a random person again and got put into jail for 10 days. When I went back to Urban he didnt attack me anymore and you could talk normally to him even though I still had the bowl in my inventory. Thats how you can finish the quest even if you already picked the bowl and its in your inventory.

I could return it with no issue. But just that I didn't and that guy went on a brawl with me after a few days. No biggie.

Not sure what some babies are crying about though.

Still happening in 2024. Press E to pass wind and the bowl remains in my inventory. Nice. Infinite loading screen on Urban.

I may have found a way to get it to work. In my save (which is quite old, before this problem was fixed), I had both the bowl and the bone.
I showed Urban the bowl and now I have an infinite loading screen. I tried removing the bowl from my inventory using cheats but it didn't change anything.

Now, I removed the item from my inventory, reset the quest and when giving the quest back to Urban, I only had the bone choice. I chose this and spent 100+ days ingame (fast forwarded using cheats) before talking back to him and it went well!

Here are the steps:
- Install the cheat mod: cheat[www.nexusmods.com]
- Get in game and open the console (~ or ² for most players)
- Remove the bowl from your inventory using console command: cheat_remove_item id:ec201163-7d4f-4766-b366-c4fe85e18088
- Reset the quest: cheat_eval QuestSystem.ResetQuest("q_urbans_bone")
- Talk to Urban to start the quest
- If you don't already have it, go get the bone from St. Martin's church[kingdom-come-deliverance.fandom.com] or buy it from the Charlatan[kingdom-come-deliverance.fandom.com]
- Finish the quest by giving the bone and Urban should be happy! He will warn you to restore the items you have stolen for him but it seems to only apply to the bowl.

You will have to pass an eloquence test to give the bone to Urban. If this is an issue, you can always give yourself a Bard potion:
cheat_add_item id:34d9f446-e5a7-4af4-858a-e96473de814f

You are the master GOAT.
how the hell did you figure this out and why doesnt everybody use this fix?

Worked for me. Though I returned it straight away after he suggested doing so.

I started the game this year and it is sad to see, that this potentially game breaking bug still exists. I am not going to pay any money for KCD2 before this is fixed :)

So, what I did: I shot an arrow towards Urban but not hitting him. He then followed me as I ran away. As I ran away other guards left the building and I ran through the door as the guards were exiting. I then surrendered inside the building and payed 200 gr. After this I immediately ran to the other door on the ground floor and the cut scene with Kyeser started. After that I will try to proceed with the main quest. I will try to keep away from Urban from now on ;)

I have.

Encountered several issues with it.

First time I "actually" did the quest, I had already picked up the bowl from the cave, and gave it to Urban in the same conversation where I got the quest. I attempted to return it to the cave, and there was a prompt to "Use" with E, but doing so did nothing but a slight pause and no bowl returned (and no further Use prompt).

Then I found out why you want to return the bowl..

aaand 7 years later.. i did this quest last week, exactly the same stuff as above.

why do you need to return the bowl? does it matter in the big scheme of things or just for this dumb quest? i hope it didnt break my game..

i played at release and gave up halfway thru game cos of all the crap u have to deal with, had hoped it would have been sorted by now but seems the biggest challange this game presents is still getting the bloody quests to work.. everything else have been a walk in the park so far

I am just gonna tell you directly:
You don't need to return the bowl.
But it causes a fight with the guard who you showed the bowl in the first place because he "checked" that you didn't return the bowl.

For most players, the fight happens when they return to meet someone in the house during a late game main quest. Since the guard is standing in front of the house, you will get a small reputation loss and the fight starts.

This won't break your game in any shape or form.

Don't bring out your weapon. Simply knock him out using unarmed and he will forget everything once he wakes up.
I had the same problem in my first playthrough. I knocked him out with headcracker perk and he forgot everything and just proceeded with the story.

i see, thanks. no worries then

This is not fully true. As you can read in this thread (and also on reddit), there are a lot of players that will get stuck in an infinite load screen when the fight with Urban starts. It happened to me, too. Since this quest is part of the main quest this infinite loading loop WILL BREAK THE MAIN STORY. You just cannot proceed with this game if you do not find a workaround for avoiding Urban.

I do not know the probability of this infinite loading screen happening but there is a chance that you might encounter it. In this case you will have to find a workaround in order to proceed the main story.

I mean go at night. Lockpick the door and kill the guard.
Or just kill him from afar with a poisoned arrow.
Took me 10 second to find two workaround.

Oddly enough I just did this quest last night and had no problems.

Im doing the house of god quest as well so I just walked down there, took the bowl, showed it to the guard, and then put it right back.

i went back there last night to talk to that scumbag regarding the bandit camp quests. and that guard started a fistfight with me so i knocked him out. while in the scumbags office the guard came walking in and stared at me a bit, then he went to bed without saying anything. hopefully im past the issue now.

That's not odd. That's the only way to not break the quest. Returning it immediately after showing it to the guard.
It breaks if you take too long to return it. I myself simply forgot about it completely. Didn't realize it at all till the guard said it. By then, the bug happened and I knocked him out.

i tried to return it at once after showing him, but in the cave there was that E use prompt or something for like a millisecond, after that nothing. i tried alot to find the exact pixel again etc but nah its gone.

yesterday i did that robber baron quest and wasted all evening trying to get it function.. they could have fixed this crap by now
