Hey so as the title says I’m trying to do the quest The Hunting Grounds but the npc Olav won’t walk he is just stood in his cave.

this quest bugged out a long time ago so I don’t have a previous save to load back up and I’m 118 hours into the game.

I have tried saving right next to him and loading the game back up with the quest tracked and untracked but does nothing. I have tried going back to England and Norway and coming back with the quest tracked and untracked but again does nothing. I have tried having a feast in my long house and then going back but didn’t do anything.

I was hoping that the 1.1.0 update might help and it fixed a few other follow type quests.

with Olav not moving he does open up the merchants for me so I can’t get weapons etc but that’s not really a problem as I can kill all enemies in the map except the legendary animal. It is the fact that this quest needs to complete to that Gorm spawns that is frustrating me as I only need Gorm and the head of the order to finish them off

i do remember that when it first bugged out I went and got the chest behind him instead of following him as I didn’t think it would be a problem

Hello! Thank you everyone for contacting us, and I am sorry for the late reply. I appreciate the workarounds and video provided as well! I have forwarded this information up to the Game team for review. Additionally, if you have not already and are playing on PS4 or PS5, please restore your licenses and then test your game again as this can sometimes resolve in-game issues. If playing on PC, as Myyra. mentioned, try verifying your game files.

If this continues, please create a ticket and attach your save files. Then return here and post your ticket number so I can forward up your save files to the Game team. Thank you, and I greatly appreciate your patience and assistance!

I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you! That is alright if you cannot provide a save file. Do you think you could send me a video showing Olav not moving? Or an image showing where he is currently standing.

Hey guys, I want to apologise for the delay here. We believe this was resolved back on update 1.3.0. If you are still experiencing this problem, could you please provide a video showing that you are on the latest version of the game, and also showing the issue itself? You could directly upload the clip to an online video-sharing platform like Twitter or YouTube. Alternatively, if you would prefer, you could transfer the video to a PC using a flash drive and then send it to us another way, such as through a file-sharing site. You can find the current game version in the main menu in the lower right-hand corner. It should display 1.5.0. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions!
