I unlocked the Ealdorman Set in the Discovery Tour but it’s not showing in my main game inventory. Is there someplace that I have to go to grab it or show it just be there?
Thanks in advance for your help
For those that don't know, this gamebreaking bug, occurs when you loot Hundbeorht's Brooch while exploring before starting the relevant quest, and of course it prevents you from finishing the game.
In has actually been promptly fixed in a later patch, but unfortunately only 1.1.2 version of the game has been cracked yet which includes this and like 2-3 more game breaking bugs I m aware of. To make matters worse, it seems only Empress is actually working on these Denuvo games, and I doubt she ll do all that work to update the game while there is demand for a lot other hot titles. It's sad to see in what a sorry state the cracking scene is nowadays...
Anyway, on topic, has anyone actually came up with some solution? I have manage to find Hundtooth on my own, but he won't speak to me to handle him the brooch.
I then thought of Cheat Engine, to like remove the Brooch with it and then spawn it back to me hoping to trigger the quest. Done, but apparently the trigger here, unlike in other quests, is the action of looting it and not just having the item in your inventory, so nada.
PS: I have no idea when I actually looted the thing to load a previous save, and it's definitely like 40-50 hours ago so I d rather just wait for the Siege of Paris release, when/if it's ever cracked.
So in Lincoln arc I voted for the Bishop unknowing he was a member of the order. When I look it up online it says his identity will be revealed after the Jorvik questline and I'll be able to assassinate him. The problem is I already finished the Jorvik arc and still don't have the third clue in order to identify him. What should I do? Will I eventually uncover his identity or he is gone forever?
During the quest Fools' Gold, Yontek tells Geralt that two of the pigs (villagers) are lost; the herbalist and the ealdorman. When you enter the piggy hut, you find the herbalist but I never found the ealdorman. I assume this means when you turn all the pigs back into villagers that, as the ealdorman is not there, he remains a pig? Is there a way to also find the ealdorman?
I got Valhalla as soon as it dropped and have been playing non-stop since it’s release. The absence of the ealdorman bug, although said to be fixed, has STILL not been fixed. This is unacceptable and needs to be hot fixed immediately. On the new update thread, this seems to be a common theme and will only result in me playing this game less and less. Did the update even work for anyone who was having the bug?
Prior to today’s patch update I was part way through this quest at the point where I have to find Ealdorman Hundbeorht. I saved yesterday and had a quest marker near Bolingbroc castle, but after loading the game to play today after installing the patch, the quest marker is no longer there. Also I don’t have the quest objective in the top left if the screen, and if I use Sunin to survey the area the game asks me to open the options menu and select an objective as though it thinks I don’t have one selected.
I’m aware that there were problems with this quest for people that had explored the castle before starting the quest that prevented it from triggering, however this isn’t the case for me.
I’ve since entered the castle and gone to the room that should trigger a cut scene, but nothing happens. If I pick up the brooch it just adds it to my inventory and the quest still tells me to find Ealdorman Hundbeort.
Has anyone else experience this issue?
Coming here for moral support since this is now the second bug I’ve encountered that is preventing me from doing major quest lines. First the Lost Cauldron bug that has yet to be fixed, and now this one.
Has anyone else not been able to hand the Ealdorman’s brooch to Hunwald and progress? Now I’m just still wandering aimlessly around the map and I’m too nervous to go into any area and collect anything lest I set off another bug. I already explored the castle prior to this quest and picked up the brooch (which shouldn’t have been there obviously) and now I can’t even play the main storyline. I have 100+ hours invested in this game and loading a previous save would get rid of a full questline.
Ubisoft has to learn that people might explore areas of the map before doing the story and if they shouldn’t then... don’t let us go there??????
Anyone had any luck with the bug on this quest?
I see a lot on picking up the broach, but I’m currently stuck on “discover where the sewers lead”. The objective icon won’t show up anywhere, been through the whole sewer, I’ve even watched walkthrough’s to see where the exact next step is, been to the exact spot, nothing showing up. I gave up with it (stupidly should’ve loaded a previous save but didn’t) and carried on the game pledging to other regions. Now I’m at a point I can’t carry on..
It basically is preventing me from continuing the main story.
We’ve reached 100 days without a fix! Just getting the usual “we’re looking into it blah, blah, blah” answer.
Will there be a hotfix soon? There are many upset customers who would like an answer.
Thanks
“Find and speak to Ealdorman Hundbeorht” just lead to nothing after finding him in the dungeon of the castle. I want to complete the story before I do all the world events and quests but here I am waiting for a single acknowledgment from the devs that they’re aware of the bug....
I just got this email from Ubisoft support:
> We've received reports of players who are unable to complete the quest "In the Absence of an Ealdorman".

>The development team has been made aware of this issue and they are currently investigating it. Once additional information becomes available, it will be posted to the game's official forum at:

If you're having this issue, please consider forwarding your save files! Hopefully we will be able to finish the game soon. :)
This is basically a repost cause my original post is now 49 days old. There’s still been no fix for this bug and it is preventing A LOT of people from progressing through the game. This bug means you cannot complete the Lincolnshire alliance and I’m honestly shocked that there hasn’t been a fix yet.
This bug comes a little ways into the questline when you are required to find an item to bring back to the main ally. I had already collected said item while exploring and now it is impossible for me to move on - no dialogue or map location is triggered no matter what since I didn’t find the item during the actual quest.
This needs to be fixed in the next update.
Even after the patch i still can't finish the quest " in the absence of an ealdorman".... I have the clue (because i picked it up before the quest) and now nothing appears, no questmark, nothing.... Bought this game day 1 and still waiting to finish the game.
...This has been going on for a while, Patiently waited for patch 2.10, installed this morning. resumed playing what is at this stage the last pledge I have to complete in the current map. and it is no different than prior to the update. in this particular case, I cannot activate the cut scene>! inside the hospice in Linconshire to speak to Hunwald, I just walk in, and there he is standing there, I cannot interact with him whatsoever...!< there does not seem to be any other bugs in the game, so far as I have encountered.
It claims in the patch notes that this issue is sorted, but playing in my game, it most definitely is not. I CANNOT for the life of me reach any support in Ubisoft customer care, where I have an account, and they keep putting me on to the FAQ page, suggesting the answer to my query is there (it's not.)
PS4 PRO, 125+ hours, and all other pledges complete, except for Linconshire, currently on level 348 skill-tree. at this stage Im filling in time by >!chasing Excalibour and trying to clear the land of Treasures. not only is this bug not letting me progress in the game, but i cannot update my settlement either!<.
I LOVE the game, I really do, but its rapidly loosing its appeal, who wants to play a game that will not let you progress? - this is really frustrating. It seems like Im not the only one out there with the same or similar problem?? can someone recommend a way to bring this to Ubisoft's attention?? what exactly can be done...??

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The danes wanted to kill him but surely they wouldn't have if Regnar told them not to? Why is he so desperate for his birth-rite kingdom if he's not even english anymore? I don't get it....
In episode 4 when Regnar says "you should have come with us, instead of alfred" i was like "yeah, he should have"
edit: also in episode 5, wasn't alfred suppose to battle guthram?......they split the wessix army in 2......Uhtred's half defeated ubba...............what happened with the other battle? guthrums men were occupying that fortress......
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
