The Three Altars

[El Macho]

So.. I found the three altars, prayed to them but now the quest is not yet archived. A little help here? Thanks! :)

I did the three altars and then spoke to the scarecrow, and he still attacked me.

Did he at least say something different? To me he was kind of random and easy to stumble upon early on in the act, whilst one of the altars is super hard to get to and kill its protector.

this quest is bugged it seems . I completed the three altars . then spoke to scarecrow then he attacked me, I killed them and quest never finished after that .

scarecrow doesn't seem to have any new dialogue options, not sure why it's supposed to be related.

Anyone have any luck with this quest now with the big update today? seems to be a dead end after the third altar

So instead of making the quest make sense they just made it close itself after third altar... Well I hope Arx fixes are better than that.

I had to go kill a scarecrow who was trying to make me fall asleep. He and his two scarecrow buddies (think it was only two... might have been three others) are out in a field not far from the cows, I think. That was how Three Altars closed out for me, but that was maybe 10 days ago.

I really REALLY like this game, but some of the quest design is stupidly dense.

Agree, if you killed the scarecrow before hand it should just give you the exp for finishing the quest and closing after praying at the three altars.

Similar stuff happens with other quests. Either you complete them in the correct order or they remain unfinished. Don't know if it's bugs or bad design but it's frustrating. Btw, love the game, not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on it but they should fix that. It forces me everytime it seems I'm getting to a crossroad in a quest to go and look up if I missed something and need to do something else first for it to actually close correctly.

I see, i dont speak with the scarcrow at beginning the quest, and now i cant completed it.

[PacManPolarBear]

Same. I defeated the scarecrows before finding any altars and now that I have found all three nothing happens. It's still an open quest.

[Boink]

There's a huge chunk of missing content in this quest - I suspect it was either a 'dark path' to the Godslayer or an extended quest with void / lore.

The giant wolf hybrid was attached to the graveyard sourcerer at some point, you can tell by the flags set when it's killed.

Unfinished / bugged content.

How can the scarecrow and the altars have any connection? If it works for players thats great but as far as like making sense it don't add up.

The Altars are just a bait for a false god.. A voidwoken posses a scare crow. He wants you to sleep permanently thus using the altars to lure people...

Ive tried this quest today and it dont appear/activate into the quest book
( no quest at all, no "the three altar " ) when I pray at the first altar ive encounter...

maybe something broken since the last patch ?

anyway it still give some xp when i pray to it + xp from the monsters there at least.

The same for me. How can I start this quest? I found all three altar, prayed at them with godwoken character, killed abomination. But the quest doesn't even begins. No entry in log, no quest at all.
