Walk on the Far Shores Quest

rwelshmub17_ESO · October 2014

I ran into a quest bug tonight. I took care of each of the waves that Tharn sent at me but once that was done she stayed on top of one of the pillers and I couldnt finish the fight. I couldnt reloadui or even log out because I got the error that I was still in combat even though nothing was happening. I had to quit to break the cycle. I did this three times and always ended up in the same situation. I finally had to quit log back in then before engaging Septima Tharn just zoned myself out to a Wayshrine so I could play somewhere else. I must say it was pretty frustrating. I dont get a lot of time go play and my goal was to finish the quest tonight.

Anybody else having this issue?

Yes! It happened to me too. It also happens when you get her health down too quickly in the opening (I was using snipe repeatedly from stealth). She will jump on the pillar and not spawn any adds.

Advice from CS (they are working on fixing the bug) was to make sure you kill the last of the adds inside the pillars (you can kite the others if you want). That way she will come down.

I actually had a couple of friends help me (had heard in the forums that having a second person there would help prevent the bug). Now I just need to make sure my alt gets to the Silver zone before they run that quest themselves so she can help them in turn.

I made sure all the adds were killed within the pillars, but she still didn't come down, damn it! And I relogged, and /reloadui-ed and everything. ARRGGG!!

*sigh*

Anyone have any suggestions?

Did you try dropping the quest? That has worked to fix a few bugged quests for me, though I'm not sure what will happen if you're in the middle of the boss fight like that.

I just ran into this bug yesterday, and it is really annoying. For me it is the very last quest needed to complete Cadwell's Gold. I tried a number of different tactics in dealing with Septima's adds, but nothing I did made any difference. Every time I tried the quest she ended up on top of the pillar refusing to come down.

I know this bug is addressed by the upcoming 1.5 patch, but should we really have to wait an entire month for one of the penultimate quests in the Daggerfall Covenant quest line to be fixed? I mean if this was a little side quest that had no bearing on the storyline, then okay, but it is not. Whether it is 1-50, Cadwell's Silver, or Cadwell's Gold, this quest is the end of the faction story line and shouldn't be left in its current state for however many weeks it takes to push 1.5 to the live servers.

@ZOS_GinaBruno can we please get this quest fixed in a hot fix, or incremental patch sometime before 1.5?
