Fool's Gold - Quest breaking bug. Unable to progress

Spoilers.

After talking to the pig in the temple I went back to Yontek. He was being attacked by wolves so I killed them. Before talking to Yontek I meditated to refill potions and clear the Cat potion I had used in the temple while searching under the water for goodies (my White Honey had been used up). After the meditation it was impossible to talk to Yontek. I left the area and meditated again, came back and still couldn't talk to him. I fast traveled to Novigrad, did some business and went back. Still could not talk to him. I saved and quit the game but when I reloaded I still couldn't talk to him.

I could not find any way to speak with him. I had to load a previous save game from before I fought off the wolves in order to progress.

EDIT: Maybe it wasn't caused by meditating because after reloading an older save I still could not talk to Yontek after killing the wolves.

Has anyone found a fix to this? Yontek is stuck in a permanent state of fear for me as well and nothing will fix it. Not reloading earlier saves or anything.

 

[cyberpunkforever]

you stand in front of him and press the "talk" key and nohing happens? does he react in any way?

 

[Brogan80]

Where did the wolves attack him? I've never seen wolves go into the towns and attack people.

Also, OP, you labeled this a game breaking bug, and you state that you were able to load a previous save to fix it. <---- That is likely the solution to this, right?

Another Bug Related Fool's Gold Quest (DLC) to Report

After i get the quest on Lurtch and make progress after kill some bandit, Yontek say to exemine the pigs in village. I skip that part and continue my main story mission.
And now i want to continue that quest, i use sense on all pigs in village and no interaction button show (default e) only pigs with red glowing, so i cant continue this quest

Thanks, hope this bug will fix on next update

I did use a Samun bomb next to him (looks like he doesn't care in first place), then sat down next to him to meditate, but canceled it right away. Now, for some reason, Y(J)ontek stands up and you can speak to him. But be quick, it's just for a few seconds. If missed the chance, try again.

I have the exact same thing, witcher senses reveals nothing with the pigs. I think I did everything until the examination part and then left and did other stuff and forgot about this one. Tried going back a few times but it remains the same, there's no option to interact with the pigs and they give off no glow.

 

[Kird]

Try save and load next to them.

Try save and load next to them.

Umm, why would that help? Tried that with no luck (surprise, surprise).

Anyone who's found a solution to this?

I had this issue today, I just follow the advice posted above, use a bomb on him and suddenly he will stand up then spam the talk button, that worked for me

@edwinkyr make sure you check all the pigs in the village

 

[ARKANOiiDe]

So this quest is bugged as hell, i have a bug even earlier, when im supposed to talk to the pig - it isnt there, found out that the pig can spawn underneath the map, so im unable to progress it too

The pigs never lit up red like clue so I'm stuck behind that thing, I'll try and bomb the pigs and see if i get lucky

 

[edwinkyr]

[Magister69]

I have the same issue, get my witcher sensing going but I get nothing from the pigs. Hope that upcoming patch fixes it.

 

[RageGT]

I have this same problem. Took a video of it. Youtube is currently processing it. My first major bug encounter.

Hello, now with Patch 1.10, i have the same bug like above, after the dialog not to hurt the fool, the bandits and the fool are freezing to a pillar of salt like the video in the post #19.

Please someone from CDPR should state a sophisticated position to this problem.

PS Now support-request was sent.

PPS Oh man, there was already a reaction from CDPR. But who is searching in the PS4-Tech-Forum-area, when the bug is hitting the pc, too. So sorry for my harsh tune.
