  • What is your character name in New World: Lucky Embershot

  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Yggdrasil

  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: I have twice attempted to complete Burden of Atonement. The first time I died to the Sufference of the Elders and after respawning at camp the mobs had despawned. The Mysterious Alter was lit up again like I could trigger the mobs, but there was no interaction option. I relogged and it had the interaction option, but wouldn’t actually let me interact. So I abandoned the quest, restarted it from the NPC in RW and went through it all again. This time I killed all the mobs including Sufference of the Elders but the quest did not progress. It still says “Complete the Dryad’s Trial of Penance.” I know it should progress as I have watched videos of the quest. Instead, the altar lit back up again and is once again not interactable (no message to press E when I approach it.)

  • Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug

  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Stops progress on quest and wastes expensive food and coatings I used for the battle.

  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No, it is still stuck

  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:

  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Start Burden of Atonement. Activate altar. Defeat all mobs including the Sufference of the Elders. Quest does not progress but instead altar lights up again.

  • When did this happen? (Date and Relative time; please include your timezone) 10:00 a.m. PST on 7/28/22

Thank you for reporting this! I’ll look into it and see why it’s not progressing after respawning the mobs.

I just did the offering and nothing happened - no mobs spawned - so I can’t even get as far as OP. This just happened on Aug 6th 12:52 AM PDT

Same here, I did the offering and nothing has happened
