Freeing prisoner in taiga bug?

[gh057]

Anyone had problems with freeing child of the forest from bandit camp in taiga? I've knocked out all of the bandits, but still there is no button prompt to save that guy - he just sits there and moans :(

*Edit*

Not a bug (at least for me), just missed a couple bandits. Head up the hill in the south part of the camp. Basically; put the prisoner at your back, and go straight. Top of the hill there is a shack with 2 more bandits. Drop one, the other surrenders. Go back and release the prisoner.




Yeah; ran into the same issue just now. Decided to hit the camp with no kills, and now I can't release the guy.
Came looking to see if it was a known bug or not. Guess I'll find out in a bit if it screws with the ending, or if I need to rerun the chapter.

Where does this event take place? I beat the game but don't remember this.

managed to do it after fourth try - I didn't kill anyone, but it wasn't stealth either - had some shooting, but after i knocked all of bandits the prisoner called me to help him.
@CupCupBaconBox - it's just before going to church.

No prompt unless you shoot or go back in the day in both of my playthroughs

Same for me; wasn't a stealth run, just decided to see if I could do a "no kill" run. The shooting might have brought them down the Hill; I had no shooting, and needed to go up the hill to get them.

@CupCakeBaconBox: At the end of the zipline you take from the camp that the council is meeting in, heading towards the church, there is a tunnel on the right that leads to the bandits. Take them out (no negative Karma for kills), and free the prisoner, for some good karma. Also a great way to replace some weapons.

@Clint: same problem I had, until I accidentally took the wrong way out of camp, and found 2 more bandits. Knocked out one, and the other gave me the "I surrender" line that triggers the save prompt.
They were by a shack, at the top of the hill, overlooking the zipline.

The camp with the digger in the middle. Right before you fight the bear in the cemetery.

Yes, kill all the bandits. One of them is very out there on the top of the hill where where looking down you see what you came from the camp across the stream. (You can get to the cemetery or to the bandit camp through the cave in the stream bed). Then you will hear the only survivor asking for help. Of course, liberating it gives you a good karma point. (You will see the usual "flash" : )

I don't want to be rude, but are we speaking the same language? Obviously you need to take out the entire group for the wounded prisoner to escape. The only thing remotely annoying with this is it, apparently, invalidates receiving the "forest child" achievement (thanks, devs!) but otherwise makes sense

For those like me who never found the hill before late 2022.

Go in the forest behind the house with the prisoner. 2 Bandits and a Dolmen.
There's also a bandit in the dock next to the boat.

Kill all enemies, quick save, leave game (doesn't have to be the application itself), rejoin to the save

Option will show up as an icon as if you were picking up a knife

Note: I know, I know. I might be necroing but this is also for anyone else who may have this issue so it's both to help the poster (if they still need it) but also others
