I ran into similar issues on this quest, but not quite the same thing.

On Monday night (3/15/2021) I progressed the Jorvik questline to where I needed to enter the large church with the book burning. I was not being hunted by the vikings in the city and left and went to some treasure spots in the surrounding area, and solved the mystery with the 2 girls in the tower (their Dad drowned - sad).

Then I quick traveled back to the Minster and I manually saved my game and suspended my game.

On Tuesday night (3/16/2021) I continued the game from the main menu.

I noticed that I didn't have a quest marker for the Firebrand quest. I entered the Minster, got the cut scene and then needed to locate the Firebrand, but all of my quest markers and player direction related to this main quest were gone. So I went into the city and started killing all the red highlighted enemies. By luck, I killed her just by killing random Firebrand Vikings in the city. Then the quest updates in my HUD to tell me to return to Ljufvina, but still no quest marker.

Then I open my quest log and I see the entire Jorvik questline is missing, as well as all mainstory quests. The only quests that show up are the Ravenshome quests, the River Raid Quest, the quest in Vinland, and the quest in Asgard.

I was able to finish Pricking the needle by speaking to Ljufvina, getting the quest, and then stumbling through the quest steps by following an IGN guide since there were no quest markers or highlights. I eventually killed the needle, and picked up the next quest "Closing the Vault" - but I don't want to continue the game this way. It's really no fun to have to rely on a guide to know what to do for the main quest. The main quest shows as active on the Quests screen, and I get the on screen text telling you what step you are on, but he the quest tracker for the main story quests and quest player direction are just...gone.

I have over 110 hours into the game and I wanted to see the end.

On Monday night (3/15/2021) I progressed the Jorvik questline to where I needed to enter the Minster with the book burning. I was being hunted by the Red Hand in the city and left and went to some treasure spots in the surrounding area, and solved the mystery with the 2 girls in the tower (their Dad drowned - sad).

Then I quick traveled back to the Minster and I manually saved my game and suspended my game.

On Tuesday night (3/16/2021) I continued the game from the main menu. What was odd is that I had to start the game from the title screen even though I had suspended it on my Xbox Series X. It was like the game had rebooted itself. I think maybe a content update got pushed on Tuesday?

I noticed that I didn't have a quest marker for the Firebrand quest, but when i go to the quest page, it shows the correct quest but the entire Jorvik arc quests in the quest tracker on the left of the UI are missing. I entered the Minster, got the cut scene where the Firebrand pushes the priest onto the burning books, and then needed to locate the Firebrand. By luck, I killed her just by killing random Firebrand Vikings in the city. Then the quest updates in my HUD to tell me to return to Ljufvina, but still no quest marker.

Then I open my quest log and I see the entire Jorvik questline is still missing. The only quests that show up are the Ravensthorpe, the quest in Vinland, and the quest in Asgard.

I tried reloading old saves, but that didn't help somehow my oldest save that was close to my progress were all started from the save last night and ALL had the same problem. I'm totally stuck and can't progress the story line. My only other manual save file is from 3 hours into the game.

Has anyone found a work around for this? I saw some old forum posts but no recent updates.
