Quest Sleeping on the job.

bedlom · February 2016

What am I doing wrong? I hide all over, I stealth I even wear the disguise and nothing! I never see Yjarnn and fail everytime.

Am I missing something? Correct me if I am wrong but I am also under the impression that this is part of the quest line that gets me to the next zone, so im kinda getting abit frustrated with it atm.

you have to follow him, but not too close, don't bother stealthing. just stay back quite a ways. if you don't see him relog ,im having issues with some of the EP zone quests too.

bedlom · February 2016

It seems to bugged for me coz he doesnt even come out, i just wait for 2mins then outta no where misdion failed no matter where i hide it really weird

Mojmir · February 2016

yea he should come out, look around a bit. then start jogging away. have you tried restarting the game and/or quest?

bedlom · February 2016

Yeah I have done all that and it just fails before he even comes out after 2mins of waiting, it def feels like a bug its starting to get frustrating.

Thank for yr help though much appreciated.

it would be one thing if he runs over to you like "AHA caught you spying" and that ended the quest. if he just doesn't show and you get that msg its a bug, also don't remember on that on or not, but aren't you supposed to hide behind a rock?

bedlom · February 2016

Oh yes and I have been hiding behind all the rocks and the specific one most, at all different angles. It definitly bugged, help me ZOS pls!!! Im on a silver atm and really want to carry on my journey to next quest and zone.
Theres not much else for me to do so this is getting very upsetting.

Having issues with the quest as well. Tried logging, but not working. He just starts to run from the bridge and then fail. I don't even move from the rock.

This quest is SUCH BS!!! I hate this quest, it fails no matter what, I even tried using an invisibility potion and still got detected.

I remember struggling with this one. Can't recall what I did.

Search on Google under "ESO [name of quest]" There is a website that has a walkthrough.

I've completed it yesterday.
I hid in the marked rocks, then Yjarnn went from his house, I followed him (sneaking), on the bridge he started to run, I ran after him, then there was a woman and Yjarnn talk to her.

AefionBloodclaw · July 2017

completed it just then. SNEAKING DID NOT HELP. All it did was fail after I started following him. This time I logged out and in again and after hiding behind the rocks, I waited till he was on the bridge, and he turned around to make sure no one was following. Then he ran off, and I followed, running. He then met with the woman and talked, and my objective was updated.

I have a feeling that the bug activates when in sneak mode and fails the quest as soon as you're detected.
