UNSOLVED Unable to progress with "Of Blood and Bonds" because Halfdan is dead | POST HERE
2 Likes/76 Replies/1497 ViewsThe quest says that the ceremony cannot begin without Halfdan and that he's outside. I game him face down dead on the floor with his dog sat next to him. I can interact and speak with him, but he's unable to make his way inside due to him being dead. He also has the blue loot lights coming out of his back.
I've tried fast travelling, meditating and replaying from an older save point but he's always dead and my game progress is blocked. -
Was hoping the new patch would fix this but still trying to witness Halfdans coronation, he is laying unconscious outside with his dog and wont move. Faravid already went inside and have spoken with everyone with dialogue. Nothing else I can do to progress the story. No earlier saves are available to go back to before the glitch after attempting to finish and auto saving throughout. Over 100 hours in and not trying to lose 97 hours to go back to first manual save...

@grant20xx agreed, been a big fan and sat through all the patches and glitches of the past launches but this ones by far the worst. Was able to kayak once across a quarter of the map over land at the peaks of mountains which was pretty cool.... but game breaking stuff like this will make me not want to play anymore .

@hmrn61 dude i have the same issue. Im at 93 hours and have everything done that I can, and when I say everything i mean wealth, mysteries, artifacts, drengrs, everything. All done up until this point and now I cant even finish the game because of this bug... it is massively upsetting. I am questioning whether I will ever play another assassins creed game again. When the bug ocurred was at 76 hours in, and the previous save I have is 45 hours in. I am not going to replay 30 hours worth of the game just to finish it. It's unbelievable. I cannot believe this hasnt been addressed yet.

Same issue here, I'm over 115 hours into the game and can't progress past this quest. Please fix this. -

Greetings! I'm very sorry to hear about this error you've encountered in "Of Blood and Bonds". Would you happen to have a short video clip that you could share with me showing that Halfdan is dead and is unable to be interacted with?

@ubiexcellent Hi
I have a video and some images that I've captured by my xbox live is full. I will clear out some space later when I've finished work and get them to you as soon as I can.
If it is of any use, it plays out as follows:- I speak with Moira who tells me that Halfdan and Faravid have gone outside to talk, and I follow her to the door.
- I exit the building and use the bird to locate them - they are stood on top of the wall by the building
- I walk up to them and Faravid is stood up, Halfdan is face down and the dog is sat next to him.
- The dialog starts and I can click 'Speak' above Halfdan's body and they say to head into the hall
- Faravid walks back into the hall
- Hafdan remains face down on the floor
I suspect Halfdan got killed and not revived in the previous battle, but I have no way to confirm it. -
@ubiexcellent here's the video of it

Here's a screenshot. I've had to reduce the image size because of the forum post file size limit. -

Hi,
I am unable to progress in the quest "Of blood and bonds", at the point were Halfdan's coronation is about to start. I am to go and find him outside, but when I go out and find him, he is laying dead on the ground and does not move...
Since my only previous save game is 60 hours earlier, I would be very happy for a bug fix.
Please let me know if I should submit a save file.

Hey there and apologies for the difficulties caused by this bug in 'Of Blood and Bonds'. This issue has been reported to our teams, but they're requesting save files from the affected players in order to further their investigations.

Please let me know if any of these help you proceed past this bug.Official Response -
@swaza1979 Thank you so much for uploading that video clip! Apologies for the delay on my end. I've shared this footage with the investigating teams for their report. Would you also be able to provide your save files? If so, that would be very much appreciated! Please upload these to a support ticket, then post your case number here, so I can add that to our team's on-going report.

@ubiexcellent
Thank you for your answer and apologies.
I attempted the workarounds you suggested, but I cannot interact with the body and saving and reloading does not help either.
I have submitted a bug report with the save file, the MSInfo file, and DXDIAG file.
The case number I received is 13589780.
Thank you for looking into this issue and trying to solve it
Please let me know if I can be of any other help resolving the bug.
I have really enjoyed playing the game so far and I understand that it is difficult avoiding bugs in a game as big as this. -
@ubiexcellent
I'm on Xbox - is there anything you can link me to that tells me how to access and share my save file? -
Hi.
I have encountered a game-breaking bug.
I'm supposed to witness Halfdan's coronation, but he is seemingly "dead" on the floor, but moves his arms and legs.
Was hoping I could lift him up (like when carrying a corpse) but I can't interact with his body at all.
I cannot progress the story further, even after restarting the game. -
-
@swaza1979 I'm afraid this isn't possible to do on the Xbox, my apologies! However, our teams have shared some workarounds that might help. Please give these a try, then let me know what the results are:
- Booby trapping the body
- Throwing the body at an enemy

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
