Can't do this quest, when i bring shazah to the western ritual area she keeps forever sealing the corruption. I noticed everyone else was having the same problem.

    I can't get her to do anything. I don't know if I am missing something or if it's a bug. I go to the highlighted area and kill the baddies and she just stands there. The bads return pretty quickly, too.

    Update and possible spoiler though I don't know if this is working as intended.

    I had to bring the NPC to the East then West then North seal. That was the only way to get her to activate anything by using that order *shrug*

    Hope this helps someone.

    Not working for me, either. She does nothing. There are also no mobs around the seal locations at all and none spawn. Went to all three and nothing happens.

    Sorry for reviving this, but it didn't work for me either. Shazah wasn't starting anything, no matter which ritual site I took her to. I tried reloading my ui, but it didn't work either.
    I thought I'd abandon the quest to restart it, but now I can't find where to take it again (I hope it won't be unavailable to me forever now, because I would like to finish the Dominion storyline).

    Update: I managed to get the quest back. After a bit of googling, I followed some tips I found, aka doing some other quests and/or quitting the game for at least 15 minutes to try resetting the phase and quest game's caches, so they would sync up again. After logging back in, the NPC was back and gave me the quest again. I then managed to finish it (just in case the order would matter, I started with the site at the south, then the west, and finished with the north site).

    Experienced the same thing (Her not doing anything). Walking away from a ritual site, relogging and then returning to the site fixed it for me.

    I'm experiencing this problem as well, and I've tried re-logging and pretty much everything except abandoning the quest. I'm stuck on the southern corruption - last one. One of the baddies that spawns appears inside a wall and that seems to break everything. Shazah just disrupts the corruption for a while and then stops without progressing the quest. 'Tis frustrating.

    ^ Same issue. Contacted support and got this:
    I apologize that all of the troubleshooting hasn't worked thus far! I can see that you've tried extensively, but this issue appears to be quite persistent. I did a little bit of digging into our bug-database, and I can see that this issue has been reopened, and our developers are already hard at work at resolving this issue. I apologize, but since the troubleshooting hasn't resolve this issue, I can only ask that you please wait momentarily for a fix!

    Not only did they know about it apparently, but they closed the issue at some point. Must not have been important enough/not enough people with the bug to even consider fixing it.

    Momentarily? LOL. Yeah, okay

    Just logged out to check forums for bug reports on this......

    For me Shazah closed two of the sites but will not close the third which like @nomikkh is the Southern site and also the same is when I have managed to get the spawns to trigger the second one ends up stuck in a wall and stops the ritual.

    I have bug reported with a screenshot(ticket 141105-001653) and currently I am waiting for 15-20mins before I log back in and try again.

    The couple of times the spawns did show up was after hitting /reloadui, re-logging had no effect :)

    Edit:- Well waiting and logging back in did get the animation going but immediately a spawn got stuck in the wall and that cancelled the animation.

    Every time I managed to kick start the animation a spawn got stuck, always in the same place, always untargetable :(

    Having exactly the same problem at the south site. I was able to get the bads to spawn once after logging in and out but one spawned inside a wall and I could not kill him to clear it.
  • iamalejandro_ESO
    lol Hi Jabber. I remember seeing you stuck on the same damn quest. As for me, I am able to do the other sites fine, its just the southern corruption that bugs out. At first, the npc would have trouble channeling and stop half a second after starting. Occasionally (like once every 10 attempts) she would get two mobs to spawn, but since one was stuck in a wall, I couldn't kill it and she'd just stop channeling. After abandoning the quest and repeating this twice for over an hour, I finally was able to kill the stuck mob by standing on top of it and using attacks while he was flipping in the air. Still, the npc bugged out and stopped channeling. However it changed because now when the npc hits that rare sweet spot of actually triggering, she channels indefinitely. Last night she was channeling for around 45 mins while I watched tv.

    Hey there folks,

    We're aware of the issues with the Southern Ritual Site on this quest and we anticipate that they will be fixed in a future patch. Thank you very much for your patience as well as the reports!

    Anticipate and future patch? This bug is stopping me dead in my tracks as far as progressing through the MAIN story quest is concerned.

    Looks like an emote (/leanbackcoin) is getting more attention than this. Guess I'll stop questing and just RP hard core.
  • terriblenewz_ESO
    Ok I just did the newest update and it still is not working. I take Shazah to seal the southern corruption and she reacts for all of one second then stops. The second time I tried I saw a Dar-m'Athra run down then disappear. None attack at all. I did the other seals and completed them. I can't complete the quest now. I even reloaded and it did not work. Please fix this. I enjoy this game and this is stopping me for going farther.

    This quest is part of my last area before Cadwell's Gold main quest line, so for me what is important is how long is 'Fixed in a future patch'?

    I have the whole area to do BUT what happens if I finish everything else before the 'future patch'?

    Do I have to stop progressing my character? :(

    BTW just tried it again still cannot get the Southern Corruption to seal......

    Two of us managed to get the second spawn out of the wall but then Shazah just carried on channeling and wouldn't stop until I logged out.

    same problem for me. i think it is ridiculous. spend more time on fixing crucial quests, i.e., main quests before working on a bugged emote. this quest bug is preventing players from progressing in the game

    LOL "future patch" that isn't vague at all....
    You can't play the MAIN story quest! It is stopping players from... playing.
    This game sometimes.... -_-

    Pay your monthly fee they said.... you'll get better customer support they said...

    In a "future patch"... smh.

    I am encountering this same problem at the southern corruption site. I've tried all the suggestions to fix it - logging in and out, waiting 15 minutes, abandoning the quest - and nothing works.

    This is extremely frustrating since this is completely blocking the MAIN story line and I can't progress any further in the game!

    I am curious, considering this quest is part of the main quest arc for Reapers March there are less posts about it than you would expect.........

    Does this mean some people are actually managing to complete it?

    If they are and you..... yes you reading this........ are one of them please post how.

    Pretty Please :D

    BTW still not working :(

    I'm stuck on the southern ritual site. I've tried abandoning the mission and picking it back up, I've tried /reloadui, I've tried going in and doing it early in the morning with no one else around. Nothing works. Most of the time there are several other people hanging around trying to make it work as well.

    Meanwhile, I'm running around Reaper's March doing all the other content in this zone-which-I-can-not-leave-until-this-quest-gets-fixed. I will have sadly outleveled this by the time the bug is fixed, I'm afraid. It's only affecting one of my characters, but on that character my progress is come to a screeching halt.

    Oh well. I mean, it is just a game after all. But it is a little frustrating.

    The worst part about this is that we are not able to do the other Main Quests of this Zone, I've done everything in the zone apart from the main story stuff, and can't get to Cold Harbour the correct way without completing it. Think it could get fixed with the maintenance on Monday?

    The quest is still bugged even after patch 1.5 !! and the bug is already known since April and it's November already what are the developers doing ?, making facial expressions better in stead of fixing problems first.... you can pay you're monthly subscription and must be silent.
    but they are not able to fix a 7 month old bug....
    for me it mean's giving up on the game because it prevents me from completing the last quests i must do to finish all of them and get the last achievements.
    to bad i paid for something that in the end did not come true because the makers of the game do not take us paying customers seriously.

    Those earlier bugs seem to have problems triggering the quest, activating any of the sites, or whatnot which could have been fixed by relogging or doing the sites in a specific order. It seems like this bug, first mentioned early November (although I've experienced it prior to 1.5 sometime last week), is wholly related to the Southern Corruption site. So technically, this is a recent bug that affects a main quest and is not fixable by players by any means at this point. But I do feel you that this sucks eggs since I recently resubbed last week, grinding is no longer viable, and I just happened to have gotten stuck at this one *** quest.

    Im getting blocked by this too.

    I did manage to get the NPC out of the wall by standing in the right location with thief inside wall, they then flip out. Once killed though the next spawn just bugs anyways.

    Second bug for me is she intermittently starts the instance again.

    How will i ever get my alt to deshaan to farm dwemer motifs?!?!

    Hey ZOS, last night there were lots of people trying to get the Southern Site to work properly.

    My point being for me and the others I saw this is the last area(VR5 Reapers March) needed for all of us to complete Cadwell's Silver.........

    This is a MAJOR issue, although I liked the coin flip emote, I would much rather all efforts were put into fixing this AND any other quest that is broken that completely blocks progress to higher level areas.

    I've tried Craglorn at VR5, it was not pretty!! :(

    I got the same response from ZOS earlier, I am stuck at the same point and can't progress. I have been able to kill the mob in the wall using AOE spells but as soon as he dies she stops channeling and I have to start all over, so now my character is collecting duct until a "future patch" You would think that with the new xpac of WoW coming out in a week or so they would be doing all they can to keep people playing instead of pissing us off with these vague responses.

    What's the worst thing about this ridiculous bug?

    If you figure out how to get the stuck mob, ie get a rogue that will do there jump attack and then hit them at the height of it to knock them out of their stuck state.. the next wave of mobs is also stuck or pulls the channeling out of channel.

    Not so terrible if you are AD, past the fact you can't complete Reapers.

    But it's literally the 2nd freaking questline in the zone that leads to the main freaking quest line of the freaking zone.

    Hey there folks,

    We understand that quest bugs can be very frustrating, especially when they block important progress. That said, we ask that discussions surrounding these issues remain respectful.

    With all patch fixes, we remain wary of date confirmation in case the fix is rejected when the patch is pushed to Live. We understand that "a future patch" is vague, but when we have further information we'll be sure to let everyone know. Thanks for your patience, as well as the additional reports.
