i have no options to interact with the bewitchers either. although interestingly enough, the first time i did the quest, it worked with no hitch, but i abandoned the game (because i accidently killed a spinner) and restarted the quest. doesnt matter how many times ive restarted that quest now, i cannot talk with the bewitchers now

I have heard that advice before, so then went and completed all other Malabal Tor quests in my journal. I am now in Reapers Marsh, and still unable to complete that quest....

This is just great...

I was minding my own business doing the quest when some turd just burst in and fought the boss and I had to fight it to not die and now it's all ruined.

Thanks random ***.

So all of you didn't finish it still?

Nope! Still haven't completed it.... and its a main quest so i feel like reapers marsh is missing something

Zenimax, please we really need help here, this is a main story arc for my veteran progression, why are you even bothering adding content like craglorn if only a small minority of players even are at VR10 either by exploit or pure ignorance for the beautiful world you have created. You SHOULD be caring about the players who get stuck on the long road towards VR10 by actually caring and enjoying your game. But instead you are catering to the very people who are now spamming my guild chats with their SELL DAEDRIC 300K, because they have a bank full with rare motifs from grabbing them pre "slighlty lowered chances" nerf. Many Many Thanks for crapping on us honest players.

This is so much ruining my enjoyment of the game, It is really really hard for me to not get verbally nasty, so ANGRY am I about this. Also GODDAMMIT when will you fix the broken Worldbosses, there are quite a few and it's been a while, it is really really irritating.

still not fixed, noticed that enemies are regularly two shotting me now, dealing 700-1k damage hits, way to go Zeni, makes the game much more enjoyable. Also have not heard from customer support, wrote a bunch of inquiries about my problem, but get ignored atm, seems to be more important to advertise craglorn.

Wow, I thought it was just me who had this problem. Glad I searched the forums. (I also abandoned the quest after some random so-and-so ruined the third spinner for me.) I wonder if a GM could reset the Housdsman Bewitchers for those of us who are affected so we can proceed with the quest line...?

I asked customer support for some manual help in setting the queststage so I can actually continue this game I AM PAYING FOR. I let you all know if they can help and do something about it.

Update: A very nice GM named John was trying to help me fix my issue the other day, we tried resetting the instance and other tweaks, but so far nothing has helped, I assume its a bug in the code that can't be solved with normal GM tools, I can only hope that it is forwarded to the devs and adressed in an upcoming patch. It is pretty frustrating to have your Main Character stuck on a Story Quest required for character progression. I certainly wont redo the character, I already dumped more than 15 days played and trait researches from the very first day, so If it is not fixed by mid june I will unsubscribe and move on. I might be back when the game goes F2P to see if the bug is fixed ;-)

How do you find a GM to party up with you? I didn't know that was even a possibility.

Just in case anyone else is having this issue!!!

I've been sitting on this quest being bugged this way for a little over a week now. Had progressed, like a couple others, well beyond Malabal Tor and every time i came back it was still bugged and it was getting frustrating.

I arrived here earlier tonight at this forum and read what blaschwinge said about a GM getting him past that part in the quest and I thought, "well... if a GM can do it for me, why not other players?"

I stood down the hill from the platform where the guardian stands that you have to kill as step two of this quest chain. I stood down where you have to perform the FIRST part of the quest of collecting silver shards by killing the baddies down below and started asking any players who were down there on that part of the quest (NOT the part that's bugged bc it would often take a few minutes to get people to listen to me and then they would be past what i needed help on) if they would mind helping me out by grouping.

After a few failed attempts, i managed to find someone who would group with me and tagged along with them until they completed those two parts and caught up to me on having to interrogate the bewitchers.

I helped my new friend attack the bewitchers to where they cowered in fear and then waited as SHE talked to them (since i still couldn't) and LO AND BEHOLD when she finished talking to them it counted for me as well!!

We did this for all three and I was able to move forward and complete the rest of the quest!

---TL:DR---
Grab someone else (random person in the area or friend who hasn't done that quest yet) and group with them through that part of the quest and their interrogations will count for you as well, clearing you of that bug and allowing you to move forward in the quest!

Same as the original poster. I knocked the houndsman out of the tree and could not finish the quest. I abandoned it and re-started. Now I CANNOT interrogate the houndsmen witches. They cower but will not engage dialog.

Customer support PLEASE HELP ME

same problem here when you have to interrogate houndsman bewitchers.

Having the same issue here. I had to restart quest and now I can't interrogate the Bewitchers.

People are reporting this since May17... as of July 12 the issue is not resolved. What does it take to fix this?

It's amazing to me that this is still an issue. I eventually did just what @raenofgod_ESO suggested and I was able to finish the quest and move on.

May 21st.... it's now August 8th.

Why is this still broken?
