Podarkes glitched

[xInsaneSamurai]

So a few days ago I completed the main quest where you kill Podarkes at the leader house. I even re-visited his body there today and i found his body, and cannot Confirm Cultist Kill or anything. However, when I look in the Cultist Menu, it says he is still alive and location is unkown. Is my game ♥♥♥♥ed? I've played 12+ hours since then and I'm not going back to a previous save from then.

I checked my inventory and I recieved the boots he drops, so I assume I recieved the artifact fragment as well. Will this matter if the game still says he's alive in the menu?

I have cleared my game a long time so those little details are lost on me.

That one is a bit different. It's true that Podarkes doesn't drop a Sage clue, because that particular Sage is unmasked through the main quest plot & not by the usual 5 clues.

He should, however, show as dead on the cultist screen...
