It seems that the patch 1.2 and 1.3 did not fix the bug in my game for the Brewing Rebellion. I rescued all the Thegns, lead them away but now it is stuck on escort thegns to safety. down near the docks in oxenforda, one of the thegns is there highlighted green with the symbol over his head. he won't talk and wont follow. I've gone back all over the garrison, land around it, rekilled all the guards, went back to buckingham and it will not let me complete the quest. I do not have a saved location to let restart the quest that far back. any clue what to do to complete this quest and move on?
@ubi-woofer I am also having problems with this Brewing Rebellion quest. My thegns are all standing around at the docks in Oxeneforda and Sigurd and Basim stay behind across the road toward Leah’s Garrison. I can’t interact at all. The thegns won’t follow me and I can’t progress. Here is a link to the video of the issue:

Carving out painful time on Saturday, i did what @Jacehart199 did pushing the Thegn from the docks to where the cutscene outside of the garrison, it worked but it was a pain and took forever to do.. But the Brewing Rebellion is now complete.
Hello there @ViridScorpion42!
Thanks for sharing an update with us! I appreciate that this took you quite while to do, but I'm glad to hear that you've been able to complete "Brewing Rebellion" by trying out @Jacehart199's workaround
For those who are interested, this is what @Jacehart199 did to resolve the issue in their own game:
I just fixed it! I went to buckingham and found bassim and Sigurd. They followed me to Leah garrison villa. I went to the dock and pushed the thegn with my shield all the way to the exact spot the mission bar was supposed to be it took me two hours and it was my last option. Suddenly a cut scene started and I can progress!! I hope this works for you.
I understand that this may not be the most convenient workaround, and I'd like to assure all players that the development team are also investigating this issue further. As soon as we have any updates to share with you all regarding the investigation into the Thegns, we will let you know within this thread.
Thanks!
@guest-kidkteih I'm not sure if you're still having a problem with this or not, but I managed to take the advice and use my shield to push the thegn to the clearing and finally get through to the cutscene. Here is a video clip I made to share in case people were confused (mostly because I was confused and when I tried pushing it didn't work at first). I cut out the first part of the clip since it's all redundant and time consuming:
9 months after and still investigating a gamebreaking bug... wow.
I just advise to those who are able to manual save to do it every step you take in this game.
Hey there guys,

Hello,
it’s being over two months since I first experienced this issue, and a lot longer for some of the others on this thread. Considering this is a Globally distributed, state of the art game, it is highly disappointing that a bug is stopping players from progressing for this long. This is not a free download; it’s a game for which a considerable amount of money was paid, and hence I must vent my frustration in the lack of movement.
Please expedite a solution ASAP - and raise the priority if needed. I look forward to hearing back
Hello there @Ext3rm1nator999,
Thanks for reaching out to us, and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I've checked in with the development team, and I can see that they're still investigating what could potentially be causing the Thegns to not register as rescued. We don't yet have any new information to share from the investigation at this time.
I understand that this is not the update you were hoping for, and apologise for any disappointment that has been caused. Please note that the Player Support team is unable to directly influence the priority of the investigations carried out by the development team. I have reached out to the team to see if we can get any more updates to share with you all regarding "Brewing Rebellion." As soon as we have any news to share with you all regarding this quest, we will let you know within this thread.
Thanks!
@ubi-borealis
Is there any update on this bug? I, like others, are now stuck and cannot continue the game until this is resolved. Is this still being investigated or should we give up on the game and start looking for refunds?
Hey there @adamgoon ,
While the investigation itself is still ongoing, I'm afraid we don't have anything more to share on it's progress at the moment.
We hope to have some news to share soon as will keep this thread updated when more information is available to us.
Thank you for your continued patience and sorry for the inconvenience!
Hello there!
I apologise for the delayed update. I'm happy to confirm that the development team have deployed a couple of fixes for "Brewing Rebellion" with the release of TU 1.4.0. This update was deployed 9 November, 2021, and contained fixes for the following issues:
We will now be marking this thread as resolved.
If you are encountering any further trouble with "Brewing Rebellion," please don't hesitate to reach out to us with an update within this thread. Please include a video which shows the following:
I recommend uploading the video to a sharing platform, such as YouTube or Google Drive, as this will allow you to post a shareable link within this thread for us to take a closer look at.
Thanks!
In my pledge to Oxfordshire. I have completed brewing rebellion and been given two ongoing quests at St Albans and to destroy carts but these markers or quest objectives do not appear so I cannot proceed with the storyline
i can almost guarantee this issue has already been reported, and ubi probably claimed it’s resolved, but my “Escort the Thegns” step is still completely broken, they walk on their own to the dock, wont follow, basim and sigurd arent with me either. No matter how much i go to old saves (i dont have a manual save from before) it doesnt fix the issue, they wont follow and there is literally no fix.. at least all 4 Thegns are at the dock though.
@aahxv Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that you're still encountering such issues, especially with that step! First, would you confirm for me if you are running game version 1.4.0? If you are, would you grab a video clip of these issues for me?
@ubistorm I am also having that issue. It’s like Sigurd and Basim runs into an invisible wall and no longer follows me. As for the thegns, they just take themselves to the safe spot. I do have my game updated to 1.4.0 and I do have a clip of what I am talking about but for some reason I cannot upload it here. Help?.
@kodaker2212 I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this as well!
Would you be able to upload that video to Youtube, then post a link in this thread?
It also looks like you might be playing on a different account than the one you're using to post here. What's your in-game username?
