The video doesn't play after "Forcing the door" to the room and objective can't be progressed as next objective will not trigger.

Btw. loading old save is not an option as I finished other quests except this one.

Similar issue - https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/82397/stuck-on-quest-war-in-the-north

@Ubi-Spud - can you ack and pass it to the team?
I completed all other quests except this one.

Exact same issue here. Worse, he was actually in front of the door before I saved, loading back in to see, now he's at the entrance and I can't do anything but trying to force the door open even though it's already open. Obviously Halfdan doesn't come to me to force open that already-open door.

I think I have the issue because when I first came to that place (a long time ago), my character slid under the door and I couldn't get out of the room in any other way than by unlocking the door.

@jbq have you received help yet cause this just happened to me. Not impressed...

@plantigros any fix to this yet?

@Chimichangas425
Unfortunately not.

Ubisoft Support Staff didn't even acknowledge the issue and bug is not on the "Reported Issue Megathreads" https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/81608/reported-issue-megathreads-please-check-here-if-a-thread-exists-for-your-issue-updated-28-11

That's the last time when I bought pre-order.

Same problem here they are not even reacting to my bug report.. Game breaking bug after the game is live for almost a month... Congrats..

@jbq I've also tried contacting them on Twitter etc. And no response anywhere. Really dissapointed....

@schaki95 Their not replying to me either. Really unprofessional. Even just the slightest acknowledgment of the issue would mean heaps to us.

I'm having the same issue, its the last quest I have to finish. I explored the area before the quest, and was able to force the door open early because an npc was following me around. Now Halfdan just stands by the ladder and I can't finish the story.

@Ubi-Woofer
Can you please ack and add this thread to "Reported Issue Megathreads"? Thanks in advance.

I think they tried to fix it as now I'm able to see "Force open" option again, but NPC it's not moving.

I'm in the same boat. Had Petra following me from the "Have you seen this Man?" quest, and she helped "Force Open" instead of Halfdan. Now he either stays at the entrance, or follows you to the door and just stands there. Gives an option to "Force Open" the already open door, but Halfdan just stands and watches while you attempt to barge through thin air.

Tried leaving the area, but doesn't reset.

Halfdan is glitched/stuck in one spot & cannot transition to cut scene - have tried fast travel, sleeping in bed, completing other quests etc & it’s still stuck. Cannot advance/complete the game until resolved - please help!

Same issue with Petra having forced the door open and came back to area later. Disappointed there isn’t a fix in place yet with this many people having a similar issue.
