On PS4, patch 1.0.2. Cannot complete the flyting mystery in Stavanger because the relevant NPC (Manning, Fighter of Wolves) isn't there. The map icon is still there, along with an unkillable NPC who's alive but uninteractable. Has anyone else experienced this? Neeeeeddd heeeellppp Ubisoft!

Manning in Stavanger is dead! How can an important NPC for a mystery quest die??? Found him in the water, managed to push him to shore to pick him up. Can't finish the Flyting as HE IS DEAD and that's the only thing I need to finish my trophies!!!!
Do something Ubisoft, reset NPCs with a small patch or dunno, why is he dead???

@jpnaquet OMG.... that's even worse lol, how in the flipping hell can something like this happen? They are Essential NPCs as developers call them, they shouldn't even die, that's why you can't harm them, not even with an exploding arrow!

@mr_good_cat7 Pathetic... that's the only word that comes to mind now.

@dr-myster You have to get into her house (when you talk to her first it opens up), she will lock you in and need to get out and kill her.

@palmatj Yep, still the same issue, hoped the new patch will do something, but nah. Don't really want to collect everything again and level up for Steinnbjorn just to have the platinum... but looks like there won't be another way..............

@dr-myster That's weird, it literally bashed out the door for me, even the camera zoomed in.

@vasilyzaitsev42 Had the same issue on PS4, closed the game and it was fine after that. The flame of the torch dissappears sometimes, have to do the same to get it back....

@ubi-swaggins Any news about this? Stuck at the 5 fabric myself...

I made the same mistake, just had to re-load a save before entering Asgard... try that you might have an autosave in the settlement just before Asgard
