Earthblade quest bug

[Paularius]

During the quest you have to talk to an earth elemental who tells you to stop 5 stone guardians from performing a ritual, I've killed the 5 guardians but the quest hasnt updated.

I've tried 3 times now even killing them with just my character incase thats the reason. I've looked it up and the quest should complete as soon as the last guardian dies,
i've tried leaving it till the timer runs out but nothing happens.

if i remember well it runs on a timer,
you need to be quick to kill them, and then return to the elemental.
long time since i played but i think i used to have armies near
the golem spawns so i could get them all in a hurry,
i think i used to only kill 2 of them with my avatar
and those further away i killed with my armies

I have the same issue. I'm just going to email the support team.

Glad its not just me. I tried waiting for the timer and i get a message saying the ritual is near completion but nothing happens after that.

no, you need to kill them before the timer runs out, dont wait, kill asap.
if i remember well, i had no time to run around to them all,
so i had armies close to other spawns and only killed 2 closest spawns myself, there is no time to linger around

That's a pretty unique bug you've come across. And you're right- when you kill the 5 guardians then the quest book should update and you should be able to speak with the earth elemental again.

Alternatively if you let the timer run out, a giant stone golem should appear a little north of the elf monument and start making his way south to your camp. If you kill him then he'll drop an item which you can give to the elemental to advance the quest.

If neither of these things happen then all I can surmise is that the script has been corrupted. Maybe reinstalling the game would help.

I've killed the guardians by my self and with my army, Never updated. i then waited to see what would happen. I get the notification about the ritual being complete but nothing spawns. the earth elemental has nothing to say either way.
I'll have to try reinstalling and see if that works.

Did the reinstall help or do you still have the problem? i have just got the same issue.

Didnt help. I just had to leave it. which is a pity as the reward was pretty good if i recalled

, I never found it that good tbh, there are better weapons. That shield from that map is a better reward for the req lvl/stats.

Tbh i do earthblade map only for ring/shield and exp. That blade is useless.

Had the same issue. Killing the guardians was not registering for some reason and as I waited it also warned me about the ritual coming to an end but the boss never appeared.

So, I load to a previous save started the quest but this time I didn't kill the guardians. The ritual ended and the stone boss spawned which drops the required quest item.

1 time i make this quest dont see one little stone element near one of the spawn point after the kill quest is ok
maybe its the same

thanks guys for the feedback and solutions :)
