Shadowfen quests.

Smogg

I think Winterstrife's point was that you should not have to worry about doing the quests in a specific order if you want the achievement.
Even if Xherics did the quests in some reverse order, it does not mean that we who are stuck at 61 can just go to shadowfen now and complete the achievement. We are still gonna be stuck.
By the way with around 62 quests, the number of different orders you can do them is far greater than the number of players on both servers combined, so if xherics did them in some funny reversed order, chances are that no one will ever repeat that order ever again.

blahblahblahblah

I am stuck at 61/62 quests in Shadowfen.

I spent about six hours today going through the swamp and could not find the last quest. I even checked a few third-party maps (there are one or two in this thread) and traveled to every location. All quests listed were done.

The "hard-to-find" quests mentioned in this thread were really not hard to find; anyone looking for mage books likely found them through normal questing and exploration.

This is the last quest that I need before completing the Hero of the Pact achievement. Just ... frustrating.

PS: Mercenaries are still around in Stormhold. Not sure if that makes a difference but it seems to be a trend, at least by the feedback in this thread.

61/62 of quests in Shadowfen. Found a few out of the way quests that were on the edge of no where with no really way to even see them unless you seriously went out of your way to get to them. Searched every dungeon, cave, etc. Used 3rd party maps to try to see if I was missing any. Everywhere I went there were no quests available. I need one more quest to get the Hero of the Pact achievement and this frustrates me.

xherics

Hmm, maybe you are right and I got not stuck because of my game style. I do not know, but I am happy, that I have the achievements Maybe if you contact the support massively, everyone, who has a problem, thy can do something. Check which quest is missing for you and etc. What do you think?

I did it, forgot the two quests in Loriasil,
I think there should be no troubel if you stray off the path now and then,
but maybe there is a bug for others, not sure

soulf666

And is there any way to get back inside Loriasil if you completed the rest of the zone?

Yes just go back inside

Thanks a lot to all of you who posted here. I found the last 2 quests I was missing (The one with the dead guars and the ruby, and the lute quest). I finally got my 62/62 after a week in this zone, Love you all!!

Artemiisia

The two quest I just looked for the last two hours was poisen quest and the lute quest, one is really hidden, the other was laughing at me when I came there, right in the middle of the road

were going nutz for sure

62/62 ShadowFen done

Sakiri

Only one I havent done was Arx and at 49 its not easy to go back and do. I shouldnt need to do the dungeon quest for the achievement when no other zone requires it.

Bad enough I need to con a friend to do village of the lost with me for those quests in Coldharbour. Place is a b to solo.

Arsenic_Touch

Finally hit the 62nd quest. It was the poisonous cloud one south of the hatching pools wayshrine.

Currently completed 61/62 quests, but I can not find the last one. Last quest I should have Arx Corinium. Ran all the dungeon, but no quests there saw the achievement got the icon on the map remained dark, unfulfilled dungeon. Where the quest is given to this dungeon?

It is very easy to back yourself into a corner with Shadowfen, but there are enough there to do it. You have to do the Dungeon quest too though I believe.

Smogg

No there is not enough there to do it.
I have done all quests mentioned in these 10 pages. I have run the rim of the map. I have crisscrossed and zigzagged and spiraled the map multiple times. I have been in every cave and dungeon and underground quest and non-quest locations multiple times. I have travelled all the roads and I have strayed off the roads many many times. I have revisited all quest hubs many times. I have been in empty areas and busy areas and I have ruined at least a thousand pairs of boots. I have checked many guides and maps on various sites. I went back after Eastmach and did the whole search again and I went back during the Rift to search all over again. And yes, I did the dungeon too. I am well aware that some players manage to get to 62 and yay for them but...
... please don't claim there is enough quests for me to do it. If there was a quest left in any pixel on that map, I would have found it.

Azula

I have given up on completing this, I have already done all the out of the way quests, yet I'm still 61/62. I did the quests out of order and it seems I skipped some. It is clearly a bug in the game as all the other zones don't require you to do every quest to "complete" a zone.

Homm

Zenimax, throw us a bone here and downagrade the requirement for the achievement to 60. It will wake you 17 seconds of programming and u won't have to deal with repairing the missing quests for people..

While humans do make mistakes and miss things, many of the people here are missing ONLY one quest in Shadowfen in order to get their Hero of the Pact title.

In general, these people already know how the game works. They are familiar with the quests and the bugs. Some might be like me, trying to reach level ten in the mage's guild, so they have explored A TON, much more than they need to. They run dungeons in order to get a lore book and a skill point.

I mean, there ARE problems in the code. I have a couple of achievements that I have not received even though they are necessary to proceed in the game. As an example, defeating the giant in the Rift is supposed to earn you an achievement (Skald-King's Arrow). It's necessary to progress in the game. Guess what? Never got it even though it is necessary for PvE progression.

KraidenDove

Still looking for the fabled 62nd quest. I not only did the so called "lost quests" but also looked on every 3rd party map in existence and helped a few others get their 62nd. It is a phasing issue in their quests and the area they deleted. Period. Some folks got lucky in their phases just at the right time and got it. I am going to be a DC hero before a pact hero! This is beyond frustrating. Just checked the patch as well, nothing about Shadowfen quests bugging, just NPC resets.

I believe I was 60/62 when i went searching for my last 2 quests and found 2 quests but my tracker is stuck at 61/62. My last 2 quests were vigils end an catching lightning in that order. With the latter 1 I was waiting at a quest marker to spawn the npc gave up and checked his original position over the rope bridge and delivered it there. But the tracker didn't get updated

On Catching Lightning I did the same thing. Is it possible it was bugged and that way after completion didn't add to the total quest completion count. Can someone from ZOS check that out? Can they check for example my accounts character and see if there is any quest left for me or not because I'm tired of running around and searching for that one last quest.

Quaesivi

For those of us, who have skipped ahead to the completion of Alten Corimont region before getting the quest to lead you there, I've been mailing back and forth with the Customer Support and if it is as bugged as I believe, at least something is being done about it, considering I'm receiving actual replies instead of bot responses, that is a positive thing, no?

blackgryf

I have received a few emails from support this weekend on this saying they are aware of it and that others have the same issue.

Sadae

I am mad. I am furious. Why? Not because it was impossible for many people to be able to complete Shadowfen, but because TWO update patches (1.0.4 & 1.0.5) have been released since an admin acknowledge this problem, and IT STILL ISN'T F'ING FIXED!!! *RAGE*

You know what they fixed? "Catch the Lightning: Gathotar will now always appear at the appropriate location for the quest step "Talk to Gathotar.”" OMG! At least you could FINISH this quest! You just had to go find the NPC in his original spawn location and talk to him there. WHAT ABOUT THE FOUR SKIPPABLE QUESTS THAT CANNOT BE DONE ONCE/IF YOU START AT THE SECOND STEP?!! WHAT ABOUT THE BROKEN "Unwelcome Guests" QUEST THAT WE ALL DID BUT DON'T GET CREDIT FOR?!!!

Since Zenimax obviously isn't paying attention, here are the missable quests again:

Quests that are impossible to do if initially skipped:
Bound to the Bog
Hushed Whispers
Overrun
What Happened at Murkwater
Quests that are broken where you may not get COMPLETE status:
Unwelcome Guests
Quests that are currently removed from the game:
Eyes of the Enemy

So out of the 64 quests in this zone it's possible get to 58 and have no more quest markers. 59 if you the group dungeon. (And yes it's POSSIBLE to get 62 if managed to get enough early steps and not skip too many quests, so please stop posting it's possible because you did it.)

HOW HARD IS IS TO CHANGE ONE STUPID NUMBER FROM 62 TO 58?!!!!! You can't do this one 2 second fix that is holding back and frustrating so many people? Who can't get their Hero of the Pact achievement either because of this?! We've all been very patient, but we have zero patience left when if you completely ignore this TWO SECOND FIX in two updates patches!

Drachenfier

I'm currently at 58 of 62 quests, have completed the dungeon, have found and completed the poisonous gas quest...I spent about three hours yesterday running all over Shadowfen covering every square inch, and I just cannot find any more quests. Every locale unlocked, every lorebook found, every skyshard found.

Tjark.Gaudlitzeb17_ESO

I'm at 61/62 and it's extremely frustrating for me because the hero of the pact achievement is actualy the only one I really care about. I have been to Shadowfen every day now for at least an hour to look for a quest I haven't done yet. Its funny that in Eastmarch I got the quest achievement when I still had alot of quests to do. You have to compensate the lack of quests in shadowfen somehow, right? I hope it's better in Riften... I'll see soon enough.

@MelinaPerez‌

I just got off the phone with an agent who told me they were able to evaluate my game data and determine that I had not completed Eyes of the Enemy.

She also told me that resetting quests is too likely to cause other bugs, so this issue will not be fixed until an upcoming patch.

I hope it will be in the next patch, but I was not provided with that information.

Hey everyone, thanks for the reports. We're currently investigating all quests in Shadowfen and the achievements, and looking to see if anything is amiss.

YES ZENIMAX is going to take care of it

KraidenDove

Ah, I do not recall anything about Eyes of the Enemy. This could be mine as well sir thank you very much for your fighting. That would also explain why so many have 62 as they most likely follow the path to the letter and we missed the optional one, or it wasn't phasing in right during early game. As it can be skipped without repeat and there are exactly 62 quests in Shadowfen, this explains all the 61's as well. Lets see if they fix it now, I doubt it will be in this patch but one can hope.

Quaesivi

"Greetings,
I have some good news..and bad news. I have done extensive work looking to find the cause of this and I MAY have the reason..and it's due to a non-accessible quest if you do one quest before another quest. I have sent this up to our QA folks to fix! Keep an eye out on our patch notes.

The good news is that it is being looked at and we will work hard to fix the issue. The bad news..we can't force the achievement on you at this time. However, once we get it fixed, you'll be able to revisit this area to achieve that achievement!"

This is the official response I received, so rejoice! If your inability to complete is also due to a bug, it is definitely being worked on.

valdezmarcos_ESO

Yes, the quest Eyes of the Enemy is part of the main Shadowfen storyline but it is not necessary to progress and becomes inaccessible if it is skipped.

I and, I can only surmise, many others skipped it inadvertently by just exploring and doing quests we came across. This isn't (known to be) a problem in any zone in the game except Shadowfen.

As @Aenthel‌ has corroborated, a fix is on the way. However, we don't have an ETA.
