Like Master, Like Pupil MSQ bugged

hey all, I've never used forums before but here I am since the GM's and support center is practically useless

I'm unable to progress in my MSQ, I am currently on the "like master, like pupil" set of missions, and at the matoyas relict dungeon, I have cleared the dungeon many times on all my characters and still am unable to progress in the questline. the trust system doesn't show it available, I have no NPC's standing outside of the mission area either. the duty finder shows a green checkmark in the top right corner of the dungeon and I even tried to use the new game+ feature to see if when I got there it would get fixed. I have contacted the GMs in-game and through email several times since last week, and they just keep repeating the same useless trash about using the active help and something else that's irrelevant. I have filled out that long and pointless form over 10x now and I refuse to do it again as it just asks for a bunch of useless information. How do I fix this issue? is there a way to reset my main scenario questline? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game already and nothing fixes it.

maybe watch another one since that ones long but whenever i can’t do something i look up a video for it. also maybe step outside of the area or click on the quest and it’ll take you to the map that shows where to finish it.

Thank you for showing me how to clear the dungeon, NOW let me repeat my issue. so in the video where 48:01 where the cut scene starts... THAT DOESNT happen in my game and NEVER has, as a result, my mission shows a completion checkmark in duty finder and NO progress in the questline. After I leave the dungeon, it still shows my objective as being " use the duty finder to enter matoyas dungeon"

When you leave the dungeon, are you clicking the portal or are you opening Duty Finder and clicking the leave button?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: Yikes on the attitude. There's a step either you or the game are/is missing, I linked the video so you could follow it step by step and see where the disconnect is.

Sounds like could actually genuinely be bugged. Did you get a disconnect at any point when you originally cleared the duty?

But, you might want to actually fill out the provided template for a bug report, otherwise they may likely not even look at this.

They say theyve done it on multiple different characters. I'd say it's more likely user oversight but there could be a step in the msq that the game isn't registering for their specific account for some reason?

Thank you for the reply, I don't remember there being a disconnect during my first completion, and every time I leave the duty I click the portal. I have submitted this issue several times now, with the GM responses saying the same thing over and over about using the active help and looking up guides for dungeon clearing. It's the most frustrating thing.

and like I stated. when I arrive at the dungeon entrance, NO NPCs are standing by for trust completion, the duty finder shows a completed checkmark in the top right corner, and when I tried the new game+ mode, it ended right at the beginning of that quest.

You said you used New Game+. Did you suspend this first before trying to progress your quests? There is a suspend button in the interface.

Although it's hard to think of what else the problem may be, perhaps it would be helpful to see a screenshot of the quest in your journal showing the current task, at the location where the dungeon begins.

You can use https://imgur.com/ if you feel comfortable doing this.

I think what happened here is that the connection got lost when you finished the dungeon, which caused the following cutscene to not trigger. To continue, you need to zone into the area you're supposed to be dropped off at, (which I believe is the Dravanian Hinterlands). If you are already there, try moving to another zone, then moving back again.

WOW!! thank you so much, seriously I never thought of this. Gladly here's what it looks like.

I have tried several times. I've left the zone and re-entered, I have done the dungeon a hundred times and nothing ever plays afterward.

A bit drastic, but you could try reinstalling the game in case something on your end corrupted that's causing the problem.

i have tried this already... twice lol

That is very, very strange.

The description implies you have completed the dungeon: "At the end of your ramble through the relict, you succeed in creating - and subsequently taming - the mother porxie. All that remains is to see if she can produce a litter of little helpers."

Yet, the quest objective says: "Use the Duty Finder to enter Matoya's Relict."

So it does acknowledge you have completed the dungeon, it just doesn't acknowledge that you have activated the cut scene at the end of it and wants you to go back into the dungeon to activate it, which doesn't seem to be working.

The cut scene at the end of it is where you "produce a litter of little helpers".

I wish they'd tell me what's going differently in the video and in their quest. There's something that's skipping and All I'm getting is "It's just not."

Is it dumping them right outside the dungeon? Is it dumping them infront of the NPC they've got to speak to, but there's no quest marker?

Sounds clear enough to me. Quest says enter Relict. If you're at that stage of the quest, Trust NPCs should be standing outside. Dungeon has been cleared, so Trust NPCs are gone. But quest still says enter. There won't be any other NPCs to continue the quest until the quest recognizes the flag for dungeon completion. It's not unheard of for the game to get confused mid-step and put players in similar situations.

Just fill out the bug report template properly, including character name (seriously, this whole thread, you've failed to actually say what character this is even occurring on), anally detailed "steps" to reproduce (yes, these can probably be dumb and redundant, but useful for explaining the how of how you ended up in that situation). Genuinely, they typically remove every thread here into "not a bug report" if you don't fill out at least the important parts of that template.

I concur, it's possible this won't be enough information because you didn't use the provided template, but it does look like it might be a bug and the screenshot is very helpful in showing that. If it's not enough information you could try again with the proper template.

Have you tried abandoning the quest and starting it again?

From the look of the screenshot, doesn't seem to have an abandon option. Which is also why we see these posts crop up from time to time. Wonder what the reasoning/restriction is that removes the abandon option in some quests... If at all possible, devs could/should probably look into fixing that. Being able to abandon/restart would probably solve a lot of these issues.

I considered suggesting the same thing but the abandon option doesn't seem to be there.

Have you tried entering Matoya's cave, or entering the dungeon in Explorer mode? The trigger for the cutscene has to be somewhere.

I believe the trigger for this is actually when you leave the dungeon, which they have obviously done because of the tick. It's really odd. Explorer mode is an idea but I've thought there wouldn't be much difference between that and the dungeon itself, except that it's possible triggers like that are not in that version of it.

The picture they provided shows that they are not able to abandon the quest, so unfortunately that doesn't seem to be an option.

Maybe the final cutscene got added to the Unending Journey, and if you repeated it from there it could hopefully trigger?
