i dont know it when I tackled rapota and it said the objective failed. I fought for him in the duel and he told me about rapota. I saw in YT after they fought for zach in the duel ask reward then after he spills about rapota and in their quest it got completed. Mine though did not, weird. Same for treating everyone from the previous mission of pestilence I help treat everyone and the objective still failed. WTF

Did you find zach's stash of copper? Means: Did you (playing as Henry) find (as in locate and investigate) Zach's (that belonging to Zach) Stash (hidden hoard) of Copper (a metal used in copper smithing, and in decorative work in small quantities on special iron work - also in counterfeiting coin).

It doesn't seem terribly hard to parse.

If he already told you about Rapota you can go talk to Rapota directly since he loiters around the area near the pillory and inn, when you talk to him he tries to run so you need to chase after him.

Ah, probably why you failed.

Finding rapota doesn't find you who is working in copper - rapota is the person organising the work. But is important to find to continue the search for the last bandit camp
Zack has a stash of copper hidden at his forge. Find it and you open up new dialog with Zack to complete the quest

Pestilence is a tough one. Always one person gets easily missed out when going around with the cure you make back in sasua

[Lieste]

You needn't do any of the investigation to actually complete the quest though, it is quite possible to just trip over the workshop and arrest the ringleader from immediately after the quest opens.

Details of what gets written to the journal vary according to the steps you follow on the way, but the success is in the final arrest, rather than any individual sub-element.

(Just as with finding the Bandit camp after that quest chain opens with the Neuhof raid).

You don't have to be a jackass. I've done the duel and Zach told me to find Rapota but there's no mention of where the copper is or that it's even hidden. I even saved Ester and found Rapota when he was stalking that dude.

So why don't you actually be helpful and say where the copper is?

Do you know what. I have done this quest so many times and I had no idea there was a stash of copper. I always spoke to his son and he confessed.

The post was dropped almost a year ago, but you need to revive it to shame someone ?

Knowing Lieste, the post language was likely the result of some other discussion.

After playing the game for 4-5 years, we've seen lots of reasons for "Failed" quests.

That's the nice bit about the game - there's often several different ways to do things. There are several ways to 'catch' Zach.

- the initial hint can come from either Ulrich, blacksmith Mikesh (the one chanting while tempering) or Master Ota.
- you can get the confession from Zach in three ways:
a) you can 'catch' him working at 2am
b) you can pick the lock on his shed and find the actual copper
c) you can bamboozle Vitus into confessing

As you see, there's always several ways to do stuff. In fact you don't need to investigate Zach at all if you instead investigate the quicksilver instead. Either Ulrich will tell him about the fresco painter at the Inn, or if you offed Ulrich as I usually do, you can hear the fresco painter moan about the missing quicksilver at the inn. when you visited the overseers hand he will tell you about Rapota and the camp too, so in theory you can drop the Zach angle altogether.

The first time, I just got Zach's son to confess. The second time, I actually did find the baskets of copper, but when I talked to Zach, I didn't tell him I was in his shed, I just told him about the confession. I got 100% completion on the quest.

Back of the forge - picklock the little shed open and you'll find it. If you need more than that, then you need to explore (experiment around) more instead of googling everything
