Quest - Danger in the Holds - Morthal - Destroy the Witch Pike
@Rackiera I just finished the entire main storyline for Greymoor and ran into the same issue as you did.
Here is what I tried and what didn't work:
Enter the barrow and wait around for 15-25 minutes hoping the witch pike will respawn.
Spoilers: The witch pike will not respawn for you or for anyone else no matter how long you wait.
Here is what I tried and what did work:
Restart the quest and go back to the Solitude to be able to re-enter the barrow up to the point where the witch pike spawns.
DO NOT INSTANTLY KILL the witches pike. This is what bugs it from my experience. Instead single target light attack the enemies that spawn with the witches pike and kill the enemies first and then kill the witches pike. The quest should complete.
If the quest does not complete, keep restarting without bursting down the pike immediately to overcome the bug.
