Howls of the Dead quest bug? (Hidden Ones dlc)

[Garbage]

Stuck in this quest and can't proceed. I bring the mummy to the necropolis, put it down, find the little tunnel but can't reach the room with the target due to some kind of invisible barrier? Tried resetting quest objective, desync-ing, exit to title screen, restart game, nothing helps and I can't complete the quest. Ideas?
Here's a video too. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1975302799

since Ubisoft rule with an iron fist for negative feedback, luckily on steam they have no such power. for a game that was released in 2016, The Howls Of The Dead Mission still has the invisible wall bug that has never been looked at or fixed to this day. 28/08/2022.
Though expecting Ubisoft to release a fully functional game that is not designed solely to open people's wallet is probably poor judgement by us gamers.

And now this bug too, and crouching and moving the camera toward Bayek is not getting me through it. This is now 3 quest killing bugs and 1 potentially game ending bug that I've run into, plus a host of others that caused loss of progress and replaying large sections. One of which resulted in starting hours long play over again. (Playing as Aya trying to assassinate Caesar. I spent over an hour sneaking around the courtyard to the doors, was at the entry hiding behind a pillar waiting for a guard to move, then suddenly was launched a mile into the air and fell into the abyss outside the courtyard and died. >:( ). I am not happy with this game at all. Odyssey/Valhalla were both MUCH more stable and enjoyable!!!

Hey Ghostryderflyby,

Thanks for reaching out, sorry to hear you're also having issues.

Have you given the suggestions in this thread a try already?

Ran into the same bug. Crouching/turning the camera into the room and moving towards it while also wiggling Bayek side to side made him pop past it. Can’t believe this was never fixed.

[Ubi-Thrupney]

Hey Anna, thanks for sharing your workaround for this.

I see that other players shared a workaround that pulling out a torch solves this issue, for any other players running into this issue!

Let us know if anyone continues to face this issue even with the workarounds! Although development on Origins has ended, and so we're unlikely to have a fix for this from our end, I'd still like to make sure all the details have been noted internally so we can keep them in mind for other projects.

Thanks for all the reports, folks!

Just got this same bug 2023 PC. i know this is an old thread but heres my insight. None of the above worked tried everything i read.

WHAT DID WORK WAS:
Walking straight ahead holding W then when he hits the barrier press or hold C for crouch. He does a little shuffle and goes past.

I was able to replicate the glitch and heres what I found out. I doesn't matter where your camera is, just moving forward matters. You can also do it crouched with pressing C again. It doesn't matter if you hold or press C It doesn't matter when you crouch as long your moving towards the invisible wall. Seems like he's trying to go from walking to crouch or other way around and can't because of barrier. So he does this shuffle like described in other post and just get through.

I'm no developer by any means, just my observation.

[McGipsy]

Had the same issue. Crouching and moving the camera didn't work for me.

I found solution in this youtube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNcgutMwmAc
The guy walks in with the torch and drops it when he hits the barrier. In my case, had to go in the left side of the corridor and do the same. After few times it worked.

[seraph]

just fyi, still doesn't work, neither do the workarounds.

Just ran into this bug: used the crouch and camera shift solution and got it to work :D

Crouching /Edit: and remaining crouched till the cutscene plays) into the forced slowmode area worked for me - didn't have glitch out the game with the camera.

Aside from this glitch, I've had the game freeze and crash on me at least 20 times during my playthrough, and yes, I've reinstalled the game (on my OS drive which is a 1 TB WD Black SN850 M.2 drive), verified the files, updated everything there is to update, turned off antialiassing completely and it still happens from time to time.
Everything's on Ultra besides the AA thing - borderless windowed mode.

I love the game but these hickups are quite annoying.

Posting this for posterity.

There's the problem, it's Nvidia. Kidding...
I have the same problem on a very similar platform, same CPU, 7900xt instead, getting this exact same issue, maybe I'm not clipping the camera correctly, but point is, this should not be an issue in the first place. Wish Ubisoft could get there ♥♥♥♥ together, I don't think it's the Devs, I think it's the people pushing these things to hurry up and get it released. I mean, yeah, it sucks waiting, but I would rather wait for a nearly bug free game, then deal with this crap.

Might I add that I encountered this Bug in the early morning hours of December 17th 2023. It still hasn't been fixed.
But as the first reply stated, you can crouch turn the camera to face Bayek and mess around a bit, eventually you'll clip through the wall.
