Carving the Path broken

[Hugh1234]

I've been playing through the Disfavoured route and just hunted the Stonestalkers and went to meet Radix at Howling Rock.

When the guard confronted me, I had forgotten that I needed to give him a password, and thought I was expected to 'fetch' Radix from where we met. So I left, and went back to Jagged Maw Shrine, but they weren't there (I realise they weren't supposed to be).

When I returned to Howling Rock, the guard just says "I'd advise you to sprout wings and fly, Fatebinder. It's the only way you'll ever step foot on Howling Rock." I have no option to use Cairn's Name, or, as far as I can tell, do anything else. It seems as if I'm stuck.

I'm playing Trial of Iron so I can't reload to an earlier save. Is my save ruined? What should I do?

Hello @Hugh1234,

I am sorry that this issue is happening to your game. Could you send us your save file so that we can better understand what is happening in this case? If possible, we will force the save to a usable state and send it back to you so you can continue playing.

You can usually find your save file at:
C:\Users\%username%\Saved Games\Tyranny

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this,
David

Wow, thanks! That was really efficient.

Hello again @Hugh1234,

Attached is a corrected save. The bug is exactly as you described, and we'll pass the info along to our team to get it fixed. But in the meantime, we have been able to set the conversation back a step. So this time, don't pick the 'Leave and come back' option and the game should progress as intended.

Thank you again for your help!
David
