I tried this quest with an existing EP character (not a new character or a template character) who had completed all of the previous base game Glenumbra quests years ago. I, too, am experiencing the phasing issue with the (first?) quest objective inside the cave in Glenumbra where I am asked to search the Firesong Camp. The enemy NPCs and quest objective are visible from a distance but once approached, they phase out and I cannot complete the quest. I was able to kill the NPCs via ranged attacks; but the quest objective on the ground disappears or phases out once I am near it. I cannot interact with the objective and thus I cannot continue the quest. I will not be trying on a different character that has not completed the base game Glenumbra quests as mentioned above. Not sure it is worth my time to try this quest again after next week's patch if ZOS cannot release a functioning quest on the first go round.

I also had some missing voiceover on the first screen of dialogue by the NPC when I picked up the quest in Davon's Watch. I backed out and tried again which allowed the voiceover to play correctly. I'm not sure if this was some weird one-time event or if there is some larger issue here.

I too had the same issues. The mobs inside this cave also 'phased' when I neared them, but if I stayed back I was able to shoot spells at them.
As for the scroll, I could not grab it; it kept disappearing. I cannot progress.
This is on my regular main character and she has done the Quests in Glenumbra.

What alliance was your character?

DC.

How did you initially acquire the quest? (ie: was it through the Crown Store or from the NPC)

Crown Store.

Did you have any trouble starting or completing the quest?

No.

Did you play as a group or solo?

Solo.

Do you have any other general feedback?

I am very disappointed with how the writing of the prologue (and therefore the Q4 DLC) focuses on druidism rather than mainstream Bretons this year. As a fan of Bretons, I was hopeful when Rich Lambert promised that he would help make the Bretons more interesting, but instead, the writers have boiled Bretons down to a), the boring generic medieval fantasy that most players associate with Bretons and loathe them for, and b), off-brand Reachmen who have about as much in common with mainstream Bretons as Nords and Imperials do. There is no lore this year that gives the Bretons' classism any depth, nor is there any lore this year that justifies the Bretons' canon descriptions as intelligent and inventive, such as the Rights Charter, or Bretons who have made meaningful inventions.

I have more comprehensive feedback and suggestions written here, but with the way things are looking right now, I can confidently say that Bretons will remain the most boring and butchered race in the eyes of the community. If Q4 delivers nothing that helps improve mainstream Bretons to reflect their canon descriptions, I intend to cancel my ESO+ subscription and ignore future chapters.

Honestly, prologue quests should start being put only in the alliance starter zone that is closest to where the prologue quest is intended to take place. Cities are starting to get very cluttered with prologue quests.

The Glenmoril Wyrd should use different motifs than the usual Barbaric style they were given. Glenmoril Witch Robes exists as a costume, and Glenmoril Wyrd Style is another option. This is best to distinguish them from the Beldama Coven.

I was finally able to finish the prologue on my EU baby character since my main character on NA was unable to finish the prologue due to bugs and phasing in a Glenumbra cave. I hope they fix the quest in time for release.

I wonder where we are going with this druid story. No news from the Ascendant Lord missing in action. Strange prologue.
