Bug: swords and armor disappear as equipped at end of Muire d'yaeblen quest

[cj4747]

Immediately on taking the water hag trophy in the Muire d'yaeblen quest, a bug is triggered: thereafter, the inventory screen shows that no swords, armor etc are equipped, even though they are there on Geralt visually, and they can be used. They do not show in the equipped or the available sections. This happens exactly when the trophy is collected. See the before and after screenshots attached.

Running on Xbox, version 1.0.0.4

But it’s possible to equip the gear again?

In general, other than loading a slightly older save game or clearing cache as described in the following link, there's not much you can do in cases like that on console.

Thanks for the reply. All your gear is actually equipped - you still have two swords and the same armor. It's just that the items don't appear as equipped in Inventory.

To clarify: Say you have steel sword A equipped, and steel sword B in inventory. You then collect the water hag trophy. Now in inventory, nothing shows as equipped, although you can still actually draw steel sword A, and you are still visually wearing the same armor. At this point, if you equip sword B, sword A appears in inventory, and (temporarily) sword B shows as equipped. But if you close and reopen the inventory screen, it again shows nothing as equipped.

I cleared the cache and reverted to a save, but with the same result. So for now, I've left the Muire d'yaeblen contract uncompleted and moved on. I may try and collect the trophy later in the game to see if anything has changed.

You could also unequip your gear before collecting the trophy and then try re-equipping the gear. But I can only guess, as I have never seen this issue before.

Meditating might be worth a shot as well... maybe things revert back to normal afterwards...

However, as mentioned before, you can also use the link that I mentioned to reach out to the support team.
