Stone cold Quest is bugged

AlexDougherty · June 2014

In Greenshades the stone cold mission is bugged, after you collapse the tunnels, and go to the safe area. You meet the Hollow Watchman, whom you then chase. You get to a ruined castle where you are supposed to talk to said Hollow Watchman.

Only he isn't there, logging out or /reloadui do nothing, s you can't progress.

I second this, me and a few peeps were scratching our heads just now with this quest.

Really hoping for a fix for this soon as well. I did it on another alt a couple days ago with no problems.

Same problem. If I walk away from an elevated position he will appear, but as I walk closer he, and the tiger on the ledge above him, phase out.... So frustrating!

Yeah, its a phasing issue - got the same problem. I've also been attacked by invisible mobs in the area, and noticed some players suddenly appearing and disappearing.
Also, not sure if its worth mentioning that I'm doing the Veteran run-through of the zone.

I've not been seeing him, getting the arrow putting him at ground level from behind the hill.

I've been assuming that he was below the ground, like Valaste was in the mages guild, reported that and she rose out of the ground.

But if it's a phasing issue then it's a different thing altogether, the could still fix it easily, but maybe not with a single command.

I got the same issue, when I approach the hollow watchman disappear and also the invisible mobs attacking me problem, with my Bosmer level 28. I'm not sure if it is the 1.2.3 patch result or if it were there before.

Yes, I approached from the side an saw it happen.
This is annoying, it really needs fixing

I'm not sure either, mind you it doesn't really matter if the patch broke it, it's broke now and needs mending.

Agreed, doing the Veteran levels and this quest is phase bugged. Confirmed I can run away and the noted NPCs will be there, but as soon as I approached they disappear. I even went back through the tunnel and went out the ruined castle the long way, and still didn't fix it.

Great, thanks for the heads up.

This bug is still out there. I have it right now... Maybe it was revived in the recent patch?

AlexDougherty · September 2014

Possibly, the latest patch does seem to have undone a number of fixes.

Quest is not bugged but you have to enter by the Hollow Den point ( location is to the right from the castle ruin on the map (eye)) - enter the cavern and you will find the watchmen - you will then exit by the cave inside the ruin

melinda1906b14_ESO · September 2014

Thank you grolmir - without your comment I won't have finished the quest.

beyvargasjr · September 2014

As of 9/30/14
I was able to kill this guy, by happenstance, in the "Hollow Den" a "Special Location" (Eyeball) on the map.
Go figure.
A long way form where the quest tracker had me looking.

Thank you for posting this. The quest markers were bugged for me and kept leading me back and forth between 2 entrances. The actual objective was no where near the quest markers. I reported the bug in game, but wanted to bump the thread as well.
