The Wailing Host Boss Bug (Potential solution)

[Nicholas Steel]

You can speak to the CrowFather without having to fight The Wailing Host as the gate that is meant to be blocking your way doesn't seem to rise/block you (For some players at least). I did read up on this as it tends to break quest progrssion or so people claim.

I'm here to explain how "I" sorted out the quest progression issues.

- First I encountered The Wailing Host.
- Then I noticed I could open a door and opened it under the impression it was leading me back the way I came, also I didn't know how to deal with the boss at the time.
- The cutscene with the CrowFather triggered. It automatically played the additional cutscene about Abaddon once the initial cutscene was finished.
- I then beat The Wailing Host after looking up some strategies on how to beat it, as well as why I could skip the boss.
- I then Fast Traveled to the Tree of Life from The Wailing Host's boss room and spoke to the CrowFather in this new location.
- I traveled through the newly opened portal and triggered another cutscene with the CrowFather by approaching him.
- I manually engaged conversation with CrowFather by pressing B next to him. This triggered the Abaddon dialog again and marked the remaining incomplete City of the Dead quests as complete.

I didn't quit the game or load from a save game at any point during this process. The end result is that there are no erroneusly incomplete quests that should've been complete.

This worked for me. Thanks!

I did save and quit the game after encountering the Wailing Host bug, however. Didn't seem to matter, though, since following your guide seemed to resolve any quest tracking issues after restarting the game.

No worries, glad the information helped someone else.
