Vaults of Madness - quest bug

Meinsamr · May 2014

My entire group was unable to interact with the ghost of the quest right after the first boss. We all are able to start the quest at the beginning and can talk to him the once or twice you're able to after starting the quest, like on the bridge right before the first boss. After the boss, he's standing there with the quest arrow above his head, but he's completely uninteractable.

We all zoned out to drop the quest, disband, and reform under another leader to see if that would fix things. We recleared up to that point with identical results.

I did some Googling to see if anyone else was experiencing the same issue and perhaps had a fix, but I couldn't find even one other example. So I'm a bit confused as to what's going on.

Could I get confirmation from a GM that Zen is aware of this and a possible ETA? VoM is pretty much unable to be finished by us as of now.

I just experienced the same bug. We can not interact with Gasteau Chamrond at this point - relogging doesn't help and since you have not been sucessful with regrouping & disbanding the quest I guess we won't try it either.

I ran into that last night. You can just run past him and continue the quest. It doesn't stop your progression. You talk to him a little further down.

I can confirm this. I just ran through it again. The ghost was bugged in the same spot, but you could talk to him up at the next corner. Apparently the one after the first boss isn't necessary for quest progression.

Thanks!

I second this unable to talk to the second time
One of our group can share it with us but we never find the one to rescue...

Noone in my group could get the interaction to rescue after the first boss. Arrow showed up, but nothing was there to interact with. Could not progress quest. Continued with dungeon but could not do anything about quest.

I can confirm that just running up past the next pack of adds works. Also, if you're having an issue where the ghost that gives the quest doesn't spawn you might need to throw out somebody in your group who already has the quest and restart the instance. Clear the first pack of adds without them, get the quest, then bring them back in. Or more simply just have them abandon it before you go in.
