(Rescue Biscuit) - Take The Biscuit Side Quest Bugged

[Stubbs]

I opened the lock earlier while exploring, many hours ago, now while doing the actual mission the area has a check mark on it, and the lock is gone, "The lock i need to open" so i cannot get to Mooncow Bisquit or open the cage, try to avoid my mistake, and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I have just ran into that problem as well! I'm unable to fix it.

[I AM VOONUM]

Just ran into the same problem :/

Little up, cause i think i did the same, so i can't finish that quest as well... the only big bug i saw right. I hope that going further into the game might "reset".

While waiting for a patch, i'll keep you up to date if i find a way to bypass the bug.

After giving the bandits a thorough thrashing, and unlocking the cage, leave the area (like teleport / floo powder), then immediately return. The mooncalves will be teleported back into the cage (not sure if all of them or just the ones you haven’t caught).

Biscuit should be one of them if you haven’t completed the quest.

Prepare to capture. All done.

After you open the cage they scatter, you need to listen to the quest that tells you Biscuit is a white female one. All the ones from teh cage are in the area, go invisible, find a white female one, use aresta momentum, then the bag, capture and quest done.
Biscuit will not be waiting still in the cage for the quest.

Same as OP here, I think...
To clarify because the last 2 posts appear to have a different issue in mind:

I was in the camp earlier & wiped them out, looted, etc.
When returning for this quest I that there is no physical lock on the cage.
I have a marker to show where it should be but cannot unlock the missing lock in order to release Biscuit & the rest.

The only solution to any quest bug seems to be abandoning the quest and restarting so I'd try that if i was you.

Having the same issue, opened the cage exploring and now just as OP described. Hopefully it's fixed in patch and get it completed.

Found a workaround that does work, if you're brave enough to follow the instructions and use a database and save editor - BE SURE TO MAKE A SAVE FILE BACKUP BEFORE ATTEMPTING! Just in case! - https://youtu.be/mn9XePHjbXY
