A Candle Of The Storm: Understanding The Bugs Impacting The Quest
The bug has been appearing in different parts of the quest for distinct players, confusing the developers.
Bug 1: Attacking Disabled
Some players complain about not being able to attack the lady when the queen says to attack her.
Even upon reloading the last saved game, players seem to be unable to interact with both the queen and the lady.
Bug 2: NPCs Disappearance
Menella and the empress aren’t there at the Pilgirm’s Path Empty Abode where they are supposed to be.
No cutscene shows up, and resting or reloading the last saved game also doesn’t do the trick.
Moreover, even upon checking the morgue, both the NPCs weren’t there, meaning they were not dead but rather lost in the game.
Bug 3: Empty Pockets
The prisoner who is supposed to leak out the information behind the mastermind doesn’t speak a word.
Although paying the amount of 5000, there seems to be no marker on the map.
Moreover, upon meeting Menella in Volcanic Island Camp, she only asks to flush out the betrayer at all costs and the quest seems to be at a halt.
