If you're referring to the bear in Jotunheim I had to jump down into the pit with him to get him to activate.
You also might have to do part of the storyline and hear the 3 ladies, Destiny, Fate and can't remember the name of the 3rd one talk about the Bear, the Serpent and the Tower for it to activate. I've had this happen before with having to do storyline for Wealth, Mystery or Artifact to be reachable.

Going to do final upgrade on Cattle and Fowl farm in settlement.
I will upgrade, get Building Complete banner but it will go right back to standing at the sign, Y to interact even though it has taken my raw materials.
Wheat Farm worked fine.

@devil_dog99 not what I'm asking...
when you enter where excalibur is located the 12 pillars are in front of you
before you insert any of your 11 tablets have you verified that there is one pillar with a tablet already inserted?

Have you verified before inserting any of your tablets that there is already one pillar with a tablet already inserted?

I've found out that you have to do an extra upgrade for the farms. I had the exact same amount of raw materials needed for this and have since maxed out the settlement.
I'm just going to say I misunderstood Randvi's instructions on how many times they needed to be upgraded.

After 400 I was only able to use 3 mastery points and then all the others I earn just accumulate.
In the options you can turn off skill level/mastery points in your hud so you don't have them constantly on your screen.

In real life not knowing if this applies to the game a block is where you would just block an attack with no damage to yourself or attacker.
A parry on the other hand is a move by an attacker that is not only blocked but then followed up with a counter move that will damage the attacker.

Playing on Series X...
Have completed storyline
Have killed/negated all Order members
Completed all anomalies
Level 400
Synchronized all Eagle Vantage Points
Completed all Wealth and Mysteries for each region

In my Database though I only have...
21 of 23 Locations
71 of 72 People
9 of 10 Factions
Both Regions and Enemies are completed

The only thing I can figure other than bug/glitch is that I only played the game as male so I'm wondering if those I'm missing are connected to playing as female or somehow attributed to Artifacts.

Bjorn still getting kicked out of crew after update. I thought I had read that this was going to be addressed.

Update 1.1.0 did not fix this

Out of the 5 I've killed only Black Shuck shows up.
