Call to arms quest bug

[Deffyside]

So I killed the first 2 shriekers and then gareth asked if i wanted to continue, i said not yet and went to clear up some other quests first. I come back and they're all missing and i cant kill the mobs in front without help of some sort which is bs. anything im missing here or is this just a bad bug?

Same thing happened to me. Basically the exact same thing. Apparently they all take off on the boat. However the fight with Alexander is possible without them and in fact I'm not even sure they help you even if they stay. I thought I was doomed at level 7, but I pulled it off. The worm helps a lot.

[Deffyside]

Yeah i ended up backtracking cause i missed a lot anyway and it was my first playthrough, was a bit annoying but i found a lot of content i missed on so i wasnt all too bothered. thanks anyways

Same bug here, I dont know what to do, how did u take the boat without fighting Alexander? I dont know where is Gareth.

[Deffyside]

You can't do it without fighting him i dont think, best thing to do is just try to survive the fight untill the worm comes and then you can just pick them off. best thing to do is hang back on the right side and it will come on turn 4 or 5

You are right. There is no bug I think. Gareth is supposed to take the boat while you fight Alexander, thats why he dissappear. You have to fight Alexander alone and let the Worm kill them. I placed my PJ´s on the left side where the polimorph mage is. At the beggining I thought the worm was with Alexander but when you realized that not, its practically done.
