[BUG] Ruined Inn, Skellige - Abandoned Site Icon Missing & Quest Issues
Issue: The Ruined Inn site located south east of Fyresdal is marked with and Undiscovered Location icon (two if you have the relevant gear quest) On clearing the Monster Nest and associated Harpies/ Ekhidna you get the Abandoned Location cutscene and it becomes populated even though there is no icon to identify it as an Abandoned Location.
Several interconnected issues being:
1. There is no Abandoned Location icon to indicate you can actually liberate the Ruined Inn village like elsewhere in the game.
2. The flying NPCs, Harpies and Ekhidna appear unable to attack in the centre of the village for some reason. Only when the player moves out some way.
3. One fly NPC Ekhidna paths further north nearer the burnt out inn and is easy to miss and as there is no icon, can result in the Abandoned Location completion if not killed. It also has problems attacking the player.
4. If the associated Scavenger Hunt: Bear School Gear quest is completed after the Abandoned Location is completed and NPCs spawned, on exiting the inn cellar all the NPCs spawned have despawned. NPCs will respawn on Meditating of reloading.
Platform/Version: PC Steam Patch 1.07.
Details: On entering Ruined Inn you see flying Harpies and Ekhidna and a Monster Nest icon appears. There is an associated issue that these flying NPCs seem unable to attack you near the signpost and only fly overhead screaming. It requires some movement further up the path until they are able to attack the player character. Or, some direction away from the centre.
Also, even having killed the nearby Harpies/ Ekhidna and destroy the Monster Nest, there is one flying NPC (Ekhidna) which seems to stay further up to the northern end and not obvious to the player that tends to try to attack when close to the burnt out inn. Once this last one is killed then the Abandoned Location cutscene occurs and only then.
This means many players will miss this event as it is not obvious what it required as the indicated Monster Nest is cleared already.
Finally, there is a further bug/ glitch that if you have the Scavenger Hunt: Bear School Gear quest (Ursine Steel Sword) and clear and loot the item in the inn cellar, on exiting all the NPCs that had spawned on completing the Abandoned Location quest despawn.
However, it seems that these NPCs are prone to despawning if leaving then re-entering the village centre. Meditating sees them return. Same with Herbalists availability.
