Hildir quest.

[Угасающий Рыцарь]

Hey Vikings!
I have a question about Hildirs quest.
Do I need to find those caves / dungeons in locations which aren't revealed on the map?
Or caves / dungeons which I found, but didn't entered yet is enough?

She is supposed to place markers on your map. (They did not show up on my map, trying to figure out how to get them to populate) So you shouldn't have to go blindly looking for them, they SHOULD be marked on your map.

Oh wow, but i have so many markings.... Do they have specific mark / icon or they are the same as our marks for use? When I came to her 1st time Hugin flew 2 times and in 2nd dialog said bla bla you are ready for a quest bla bla

I forget what the markers look like. There should be one in a burial chamber, so Dark Forest. Another in the mountains called Howling Cavern, an a large Tower in the Plains, again forget what it is called exactly. When you find these dungeons there will be one of the birds saying something like "This dungeon is harder than it looks".

Oh mate, I found a info in some other resources, it says she has a table with map i guess and you need to interact with it.

It appears that there are 3 locations for each tomb/dungeon, but only one of each actually exists in the world. I traveled to 2 marked locations, a howling cavern, and a smoldering tomb, and was not able to find either one. I did find an ice cave a good distance from the howling cavern marker, but did not receive any warnings about it being more dangerous, nor did I see any evidence of it being anything other than the regular ice cave. I guess I'll just check out the other locations and hope my world seed isn't bugged.

what you experienced is a new content update altering your dungeon placement for the ones who you didnt actually discover before the update was applied to your gameworld.

not a bug just a feature people arent aware off.

delete the old markers from your worldmap manually.

go back to hildir and interact with her map table once again. the new updated locations will appear on your map. and there you will actually find the dungeons as before. there is 3 of each type (its fully pointless to clear each type more than once currently to begin with)

if you do not visit a marked dungeon or boss altar before a terrian changing update (like ashlands) is applied to your gameworld these places can be moved around and are no longer found where the marker was they simply changed places while the marker remains where it is because its a regular map marker which doesnt update on its own. in the case of a boss marker doing this you simply must interact with the vegvesir again. itll then show the new updated location.

also : thread necro.

So far in the 4 play-throughs I have done Hildir's quest on I have found the location exists for each of the quests as marked for the first one of that quest you visit. So, for example, you visit a Howling Cavern. The markers will remain for the other Howling Caverns, but there won't be a Howling Cavern there; the only Howling Cavern will be the first one you actually go to. Basically, it seems to discard the rest, though the markers remain. Sort of like how the game sets up the merchants, where they could be in several possible locations in the world, but the first location you find them at will then become their only location.

By the way, when you visit the Howling Cavern, if you don't find the miniboss inside, be sure to look around again. On at least one play-through I did I thought I cleared out the whole cavern and there was no miniboss, but then when I went back down again I found he was lurking in a side passage that I had missed the first time through.
