Season Quest: The Embers Yet Smolder / Bryona BUG / Potential FIX

Step 1: Confirm Campaign Progress

  • On PS5, open your Quest Journal.
  • If you’re still in the main campaign, you’ll need to either:
    • Finish it → unlocks all seasonal NPCs, OR
    • Skip it (can be done on your seasonal character if you’ve finished the campaign once on any character).

:wrench: Step 2: Refresh the Quest

If you already finished or skipped the campaign:

  1. Unpin the quest → then re-pin it.
  2. Exit Cerrigar → teleport to another town → then come back.
  3. If that fails, log out to character select → then back in.

:wrench: Step 3: Force NPC Reload

Sometimes PS5 gets “stuck” loading NPCs:

  1. Travel to Kyovashad (capital).
  2. Use the Waygate to Cerrigar.
  3. Walk—not teleport—into the barn.
    :point_right: Bryona often spawns after a reload cycle like this.

:wrench: Step 4: Temporary Workaround

If none of the above works:

  • Join a friend’s game who has Bryona spawned → interact with her in their instance.
  • This progresses your seasonal quest.
    :warning: On PS5, if you leave the group, you may need to repeat Step 3 to keep her visible.

:wrench: Step 5: Last Resort

If nothing fixes it:

  • Clear local cache → fully close Diablo 4, restart PS5, relaunch game.
  • If Bryona still won’t spawn → file a bug ticket via Blizzard support. This exact bug has been flagged on forums, so attaching your setup (PS5, Sorc 50, campaign status) helps them track it.

:point_right: Based on reports, the campaign completion/skip (Step 1) is the big unlock. That’s the first thing I’d check.
