Chasing Embers quest bug – cannot interact with Pyre Victim

During the side quest “Chasing Embers” in Scosglen, the quest becomes stuck when I reach the final stage where I’m supposed to interact with the Pyre Victim at the campfire. The character is lying at the pyre, but no interaction prompt appears – no button or cutscene is triggered.

I’ve tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:

  • Teleported to town and back
  • Restarted the game
  • Changed region and returned
  • Tried in both solo and party play
  • Waited several minutes near the pyre
  • Abandoned the quest and started it again

None of these actions helped. The quest remains broken and cannot be completed.

Please look into this – it seems to be a script trigger issue where the NPC does not activate as intended.

You’re not the only one encountering issues with the quest.
