Barovia Quests Bugs

Hello,

I'm having a recurring issue in the Barovia area on my character. With the Dire Consequences, Tracking the Beast, and Shadow Of Stradh quests. I have attempted numerous times to complete these, but the last part, in which you lure the final mob out to kill it for credit, does not work give me credit for any of these quests. I can go to the spot, click on the sparkly quest point, and lure the mob out, but when I kill it I do not get credit. Me and my friends have attempted numerous ways and times to get my character to finish these quests, to no avail. I'm not sure why it's happening or how to fix it. I've also tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game, power cycling my xbox and logging in/out of my xbox account. I created a ticket and troubleshot with one of the Game Masters over several days, to no avail. He advised I make a post about it here.

Dire Consequences- https://xboxclips.com/CodyLanCollins/f05f79f9-addd-4662-b7b2-b053157cc186

Tracking the Beast- https://xboxclips.com/CodyLanCollins/0b2d00d9-b782-41fc-8f36-0ebce6c6e81b

Shadow of Strahd- https://xboxclips.com/CodyLanCollins/7194fe88-0fb6-4b68-ab65-9458204f449e

After some troubleshooting, including him completing one of the quests for me to see if it would cycle through and let me complete in the second round, he had me attempt again. None of the quests worked still, and I have captured some video of this round as well.

Attempt after troubleshooting:

https://xboxclips.com/CodyLanCollins/8040fba6-6043-4f2f-84ec-77fd42d73e8e - Shadow of Strahd

https://xboxclips.com/CodyLanCollins/cd8b46ea-8989-476f-8611-2f72b47581f9 - Tracking the beast

For clarification, we usually do these quests together, and we usually have multiple people on the same quests, if not all three of us. In most cases, (including from those videos) Whichever of my friends also shares the quests usually get credit. It sometimes happens that Lyr will not get credit for Dire Consequences. It seems somewhat random if she will or not and there doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason. The final friend, (Kimber/Shalyon) has never had any issues with these quests at all, including when all three of us are together.

As previously stated, after the ticket/troubleshooting, all of the quests still will not work for me. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you in a party with your friends when you attempt these quests?
  • Yes, as as shown in the videos I'm with my friends from my guild when we do these quests. We actually got Shadow of Strahd to work for my character today. The only new development is we completed the Castle Ravenloft quest for the first time with my character. I don't know if that would effect it. After, we attempted Hunting the Beast again, but that did not work still.

    Have u ever beat the quests solo? if not give it a try. I have never had a problem with any of the quests but i have never done them in groups. Might have just sent u on a wild goose chase though.

    The Barovia quests are notoriously buggy when trying to complete them in a group. You have to solo them with minimal help from your friends if they're with you.

    The one's that normally gave me a problem where any of the wolf related quests like the one where you get deer meat and then go spawn wolves to kill. The wolves would never give proper credit. The quest where you have to follow tracks will glitch a lot if you're in group. The weekly where you have to find the spy will glitch sometimes and only give one person credit for killing the spy.

    The game should be emphasizing community and group play but all the bugs make it hard to do campaign content in groups. This, for me, was a bigger issue in barovia than in any other recent mod to date.

    it was the doll head quests, if you pick up and started in groups, then it is bugged, only way to avoid, dont start the doll quest until you are alone and solo before joining. delete old "active' quest.
  • We have previously attempted with me leaving the group and them just assisting me in the completion. That hasn't worked so far unfortunately.

    if you started while in group, it will fail, just delete and start over when alone.
    in my opinion, that quest need redo, just put a clickable doll head as new daily in vistani camp. so that way, no more bugged quest while in groupings.
