[BUG] What the Heart Wants Still Broken

esob16_ESO115
This quest was supposedly fixed in patch 1.0.7 but it's still bugging up. I've run the cave twice now and both times Stibbons has reset back to the start of the cave as soon as I reached the end instead of progressing through the door leaving a hanging quest marker. There seems to be no quick way to get back to the beginning so it's necessary to fight your way back to the start and then all the way through again each time.

    Still broken. I've cleared it 5 times now and he just resets to the beginning partway through and then will no longer move.

    This is ridiculous. How many years will it take to fix this broken quest?

    They need to make him a regular follower like with literally EVERY other quest so this *** doesn't happen (ಠ_ಠ)

    Still bugged. Needs a fix, stat. Tired of him just standing around. I've abandoned the Quest and re-did it in an effort to resolve it. I also did what I read elsewhere, which was to "Log out for 15 minutes to soft reset the instance". Sorry. Doesn't work.

    Actually, as of right now, I completed it. He didn't move AT ALL. Just go through and clear out the area. Just wait around at the end. Randomly, it will say that you completed the "Defend Stibbons" objective. It still needs to be fixed, but hopefully this ticks for you guys by taking this method.

    Trying this right now. Hopefully it works, I've cleared it and killed respawns now just sitting at the door.

    Its still bugged on ps4

    So do I... Yesterday, I encountered a glitch while I was doing "Light from the darkness". Accomplishing this quest took me an hour. Now, this one in "What the Heart Wants"... Begin to be tired of this game.
    I've abandoned the Quest and re-did it in an effort to resolve it.

    By the way, could you please tell me where you found Stibbons after abandoning the quest ? I'm looking for him for hours.

    Edit: finally found him

    I managed to complete on ps4. Aside from the regular spawns in the cave, whenever he paths forward enemies spawn just for him. I cleared the cave and waited at the end and when I went back I saw he ran forward, spawned some enemies and went back.

    I cleared them and he triggered more closer and closer to the end, running back each time. Eventually he stopped moving and wasn't coming back. when I ran back to the exit there was a bone colossus. After I beat it the quest showed the next step Even though he was still at the start,

    Clearing the cave and waiting works for PS4. Just make sure that you defeat the bone colossus.
