If you find there is nothing to interact with after casting investigation and following the "echo", fly out of the area (I went to the nearby "Camp whateveritis") and fly back EACH TIME and you'll eventually be able to complete the quest.

Oh, and report the bug too please!

Comment by Azzor

Bugged after the newest update to beta build on Aug 7th. The clue that leads to the door at the end of the town is not triggering anything interactable. Abandoning the quest doesn't help, neither does flying out of the town and back in after every clue. Guess this is the bug that breaks the campaign questline for this week, lets hope they fix it soon.

Edit: Fixed as of latest Beta update on Aug 14th, the door is interactable now.

Comment by spidersocks

Still broken one week from launch, even though it's been reported by everyone on the beta for a month or more. If the expansion launches with this bugged it will cause a nightmare scenario where every player cannot move forward with the campaign. Oh and there is supposedly a second quest later on that uses this same device that's also bugged.

Seems to be bugged on the live servers 2 very awesome blizzard!

Comment by Simplicate

This bugged out for me on live. I got stuck at 5 out of 6 and everywhere I went in the quest area I got the red X. Fortunately dropping the quest and starting again seemed to fix it.

Still bugged as of today 8/22/2024 early access for some including myself. I've tried dropping quest and flying out of area but not working for me.

Comment by Ghawn

Abandon and take it again if you can't see a bugged item.

Comment by varenne

Just had the issue where I could only get 5/6, the middle plate on the first platform was bugged. Dropped the quest and restarted it and it worked.

Comment by Dustobear

When this got bugged for me I noticed other people were able to pick up my clues. I think that's what is going on . In the case i was 5/6 someone else clicked on my floor right before i did and it unhighlighted without increasing the number.

Comment by SavageKato

I FINALLY was able to complete this quest after like an hour. I thought it was bugged but turns out I was just doing it wrong. I think most people are getting to 5/6 and then going to the final door and clicking the investigate, but to no avail. At least this is what I was doing.

However the last door IS NOT a clue, it opens after getting the other 6. There are 3 clues on the bottom of the stairs, and 3 clues on the top. I was was only getting 2/3 on the bottom, and i figured the last one was the obvious final door, so i thought it was bugged. this is WRONG. On the bottom theres the door on the left, the market stall on the right, then another one on the left before you go up the stairs. The one on the left before you go up the stairs was the one that I kept missing.

I know this quest is legitimately bugged for some people, and this might not be helpful. But make sure to double check and don't repeat my mistakes. I had abandoned/redone this quest 10+ times with warmode on and off before I realized my mistake, so it's something that's easy to miss. Hope this helps at least someone out there.

I uploaded a SS of the locations. Not sure how long that takes to approve and actually show on the quest page though.

Comment by Threeper

I got 5/6 like everyone else. There is a table at the bottom of the stairs in the middle that didn't show up as a clue ( /way 64.17 58.06 ) that I could touch to get the final clue. I hope this helps.

Comment by DaimosOk

After abandon the quest the second time it was work was as expected

Comment by Kprofeta

As of 8/23/2024 - this quest seems to still be bugged. I got to 5/6 clues and could not progress. Abandoning and restarting worked for me.

Comment by Illidana

Make sure you use the Investigate ability before clicking on the objects. You'll see a prompt telling you you've found something and to take a closer look. Don't loot the object unless you've used the Investigate ability on it. Same with the boarded doors.

Comment by Fieora

Still bugged on live servers (24/08-24) abandoning and taking both of the door clues first seemed to fix it.

Comment by BloodFireDeth

I wondered for a bit "where the 6th clue is" after searching the whole city for at least 5 mins. Drop the quest and get it again. It worked for me

Comment by Cimegs5088

Hmm after doing this on few char, - and not just this quest - when somebody is in same phasing as you and doing same quest, if they picked up the item, you might miss some of the quest interactive object for some reason, not sure what caused it as i don't remember having similar issues (at least not as much) in the past.

Just sharing.

Description

The foreman isn't here. Obviously. But the evidence points to her being here recently. So perhaps she's still nearby! We should go further into town and see if anyone has any idea where she might be. Or maybe someone else can give us the answers we need. Maybe we'll find out on our own! Maybe it was some sort of attack or some kind of... sorry. I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's go investigate!
