  • On Xbox series X after defeating the Pict raid, the objective changes to Regroup with Faravid. Whenever walking over to him on the cliff and hearing his brief dialogue, nothing happens and no options to interact are available. Pausing the game presents the choice to quit to main menu or option screen as if this were a cut scene of some sort. Restarting the game has no effect and waiting it out has no effect. Tried moving on to other quests and come back to the exact same inability to progress.

@UbingMitta I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing this, it is not a known issue. Could you please provide a video. Do you have the latest update (1.2.2) installed?

Can you also try loading a previous save before you started the quest and try completing the quest again to see if it works.

@DarkkSituAzn Thanks for the video provided, I have reported this to the development team to investigate.

Can you try loading a previous save before you started the quest if possible then try completing the quest again to see if it works. Can you also confirm if you have the latest update (1.2.2) installed?

@UbingMitta Are you also unable to move Eivor when you encounter this issue the same as DarkkSituAzn?

Hello there @HeloTech! Welcome to the forums 🙂

I'm sorry to hear that you've encountered this issue in "War in the North." Thank you for taking the time to share your report with us.

I can see that the development team have been notified about this issue, and are currently investigating further. I've shared your report for use in the ongoing investigation.

If possible, would you be able to send us a video which demonstrates the issue in-game? We would be interested in seeing Eivor approaching Faravid, and then the freeze that occurs instead of the cutscene triggering as intended.

We can then include this in your report to the development team.

Thanks! 😊

@sideswipe-1984 @tattooedtool @Wysockin Thanks for the update, I'm pleased to hear that you were able to progress in the quest.

@UbingMitta @DarkkSituAzn @AM0EBAS @HeloTech @TheMadTitan87 @Skim_Bro @mmmBomB Hi all, it appears that a few other players in this thread have managed to progress in this quest. Can you please try the following if you haven't already done so and confirm if it works:

  • Go to the location where the cut scene should play and wait for a couple of minutes to see if the cutscene triggers, if not then fast travel to Ravensthorpe
  • Then change Eivor's gender (Access the Animus in the inventory screen)
  • Go to sleep in Eivor's room in Ravensthorpe
  • Go back to the quest location and try again to see if the cut scene triggers


I understand that this is not an ideal workaround, however it may help you to progress past the quest then you can change Eivor's gender back to normal. I can also inform the development team who are investigating if this workaround works for everyone affected by this issue.
