SOLVED: Fire & Vice: Animagus disappears, mission not solveable

[bjoerntoschi]

I was playing through the game, June 3rd patch is installed, all was fine until I tried to "rescue" the dragon in Fire & Vice mssion.
First time I fought all enemies from both waves and there was still one red arrow on the map, but with "below" indicator, mission un-solveable.
Re-started from last checkpoint (after picking up egg), fought two waves again, again one enemy stuck below ground.
Third time I fought and only the animagus was still alive (transformed to wolf), and when I fought himf down, it "jumped" up and seem to crash through the ground, and again I had the famous "below me" enemy.
Forth time, same game.

Trying to report the bug on official bugtracker is a joke, "creating" takes minutes (>10) without any progress, tried multiple times.
Unfortunately I lost ~2 hours of game-progress now, thanks to stupid auto-save overwriting all the save-states before entering the tent. Cannot get out, cannot solve mission, i.e. I'm stuck.

Anybody else having same issue ?

Update:
Verifying local files, terminating mission (press A when mission is highlighted) and re-doing it worked.

Never heard of that one before! What a pain in the ass. The only in-game solution I can think of is to release a bunch of cabbages. Maybe they can find a way to get to the remaining enemy? (TBH, I'll eat my hat if they do.) Failing that, I can only think of solutions involving console commands.

Thanks, good idea, but tried that already:
Using all three plants - no effect.

But I found some hints how I should be able to at least escape the dungeon (terminate mission), and also I did a check of my local files after reading it solved some other errors. Steam said no errors, but did download some files for the game - maybe the update was incomplete ?

Will re-try it right now - stay tuned for update (if it takes longer there a chance it's fixed ;) )

Bad thing:
Loaded savegame, fought down enemies, same bug again.
Good thing;
I was able to terminate the mission via mission screen (hover over it and press A) and exit the dungeon.
Let's see what happens when I re-enter the dungeon ...

Exiting the dungeon and re-doing the mission did the trick!
Seems that whatever was broken is encoded in the save state.

Only 3 cabbages? You buff them little guys up, perk to use 6 at once and and a few gear enchants and they can do way more dps then you can.

You ain't lived until you've taken down a troll with nothing but vegetables!

And yes, I've had a few out of bounds mobs too and had to resort to restarting the quest as well.

Nice work!
