Hello there @guest-M4FpbtS9! Welcome to the forums

This issue was marked as resolved following TU 1.2.1. I'm sorry to hear you're still having trouble interacting with Hrorek in "A Desperate Bounty" following this update. Would you be able to send us a video that shows us the following:

• You have the latest Title Updates installed on your platform. You can check this in the right-hand corner of the main game menu
• You're unable to interact with Hrorek to complete "A Desperate Bounty"

We can then pass your report along to the development team to re-open the investigation into this issue.

Please note that any compensation would be the decision of the Assassin's Creed: Valhalla team. The player support team has no influence over this decision. If compensation is to be offered to players, this information will be shared on our official platforms or via in-game notifications.

Thanks!

@jenkins3142 I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue.

The issue is showing as being resolved in update 1.2.1, however as you are still experiencing this I will inform the development team so that they can reopen the issue and investigate further.

I noticed that the mystery icon remains in the same location that you started the quest which is unusual. What happens if you travel back to that location?

Can you also confirm if you have tried the following workarounds as this has been known to work in other quests that have had similar issues:

• Switching Eivor's gender
• Exiting the Animus then returning

Thanks for sharing an update with us following TU 1.3.0, @Jenkins3142, and for letting us know which workarounds you have tried! I can see that @Ubi-Keo has shared your previous video with the development team and that they're investigating your report further.

Would you be able to share this additional screen capture with us? We can then include this in your report to the development team to show how the issue persists on the current title update.

Thanks!

Thanks for providing this additional footage, we will certainly be sure to get this forwarded for further review so please keep an eye on these forums along with our social media outlets for any further news and information as soon as it is made available.

@rogueelna Thanks for reporting this also. I have forwarded your save game on to the team investigating this issue too.
