[SPOILERS] Dream of Ashes quest bug in first part in Omorli Villa

[EbonHawk]

I ran into an issue with the Dream of Ashes quest. Obvious spoilers, if you haven't done this quest yet, but it's the one where Bayek talks to a seer to have his dream (a nightmare) about his son stop occurring.

The closest marker was at Omorli Villa, so I went there and freed the beggar by killing the guards near him.

This prompted the guy to start following me, saying I needed to lead him outside the villa. (I later learned on the Ubisoft forums, that another marker was supposed to show up, but it didn't.) Nothing I did could get rid of him. I couldn't interact with him, and he kept following me everywhere. The only 2 markers that showed up was for the other 2 people I was supposed to take an amulet to.

He followed me everywhere, even down into the caves where the 2nd guy (later found he was already dead) and then the first guy got stuck and wouldn't follow me anymore at one of the trees that had fallen across the tunnel.

Here he is, just watching me, but he's non-interactable.

I finally just Quit to Main Menu and reloaded the checkpoint, and the mission(s) continued as expected. No problems. That first run-through was quite interesting and I might post another funny thread about it, if I get the chance, maybe tomorrow.

It was a weird bug, but it was good for about 15 minutes' worth of enjoyable entertainment though. :-D

We made it all the way back to the Ptah Temple, where I guess his "idle" scripting took him, and all he wanted to do was pray at one of the statues. However, every stationary and patrolling guard on horseback attacked him along the way. It was quite comical, and he must've "died" about 30 times altogether. Since he had "quest status" however, he never stayed dead and kept resurrecting.

Here he is, dead again, at the feet of some guards at the temple. The one guard is pointing off into the crowd at something, the beggar lying at his feet.

Have you tried going back to Animus yet? As doing so could solve another bug occurred under the Sphinx.

No, I didn't, because it was resolved..
