This mission in Lincolnscire is still bugged after the 1.04 update. I am stuck unable to follow Aelfgar because he doesn’t move or do anything when approached. I’ve tried verifying the game file, restarting from earlier saves, fast traveling, running away to find stuff for a while...
I’m completely stuck in the story line in AC Valhalla because Aelfgar won’t move. I can include screen shots. Does anyone know of a solution? Or is this going to eventually be fixed?? Very frustrated and disappointed I can’t progress in the story anymore... If this isn’t fixed, I’m done with the game and can’t progress further, unfortunately. Please advise.

It is impossible for me to continue probably the last quest to finish the "Lincolnscire" region. The quest is called "Swords shine in Anecastre" and I'm supposed to follow the AElfgar character but he doesn't move at all. He gets stuck on the road and doesn't react to anything. I've been trying to finish this region for a long time now, I've finished all the others in the meantime. I've tried to push it, attack it, restart the game, and a lot of other things lots of times but nothing works. 

It's very annoying because I finished everything else and this quest prevents me from finishing the game: I can't conquer all the regions so I guess it blocks me from finishing missions + the 2 members of the order of the elders that I still have to kill are linked to this buggy mission.

The recent update didn't fix the bug.
If it can be useful: I play in French.

Hopefully you can fix this problem because it literally blocks me from progressing in the game.

same here. I've had this problem for a while now and it still has not been resolved. pretty mind blowing I waited a week for this quest to be fixed so I can progress in the game and there still isn't a solution to it. But hey at least they added a new image to the title screen right?

@lypitiern300 thanks. I guess i'll give it a go considering this is the only affective work around i've seen

@overduefart911 I found a work around with the help of a couple other people. Basically you keep running into aelfgar until you get to the camp and then the mission will update. Sorry I know this is not ideal at all (took me around 30 minutes) But so far this is the only thing i've found to work. Hope this helps

@krimsontk as in run into him to push him into a camp? Which camp? I’ll try this

@ratash97 I can't believe it really worked for me

I also got the same issue. SOOOOO ANNYOING!!! I'm on Xbox series X. I love the game, but this really puts me off. I've been running around doing other stuff, hoping that he will start moving. But every time I get back, he is just standning there, chilling, outside the camp. I do not have any saves I can go back to.

Ubisoft, help of ASAP! We can't go on playing the game without this getting fixed!

@krimsontk I tried pushing Aelfgar to the camp like you said but I’m not able to get him to move more than a few feet. This did not work, I’m still not able to progress in the story. Any other ideas??

I have tried shooting him with all the bows as suggested here but he doesn't even move. He stays in one spot when I shoot him.

I also have progressed too far along to go back to an old save point and try anything else.

I will try pushing him with the horse. That is all I can think of...

Same here. Super annyoing!!

@overduefart911 sorry I wasn't super clear with the method. The way I did it was I kept running into him at the jogging pace (do not sprint) because you can get into a rhythm where he stumbles a few steps at a time. Like i said it may take a while but it works. If you can get him into the camp push him to the last structure on the right (should be a platform with someone standing on it) once there push him around that area until the mission updates. It should update then but you just have to find the sweet spot. Sorry I wish there were a more concrete option but there isn't at the moment.

Yep same problem on xbox. Ive cleared every area and come back and he is still stuck there.

@krimsontk Thanks for explaining, but are you kidding, this is impossible! Half the time I jog into him he takes 2 steps back the way we came... Think this will be addressed another way? I can’t seem to get that to work...

@alake314

@overduefart911 Sucks to hear you couldn't get this to work, but at least you tried. Hopefully this gets addressed soon so people like you and me don't have to do these stupid work arounds

@ubi-swaggins Just me chlling with your half finished bugged game. It's really disappointing to be ginea pig for your game it's definitely the last Ubisoft game I will ever buy until you make some improvement on your development method. I had no responce about this bug from my post and you don't annonce it on the reported bug you better fix this soon or I will be a fervent activist against any game Ubisoft have and will make.

It's not the first major bug in the game I encounter but it's the one that prevent me from finishing the game.

@alake314

I can confirm this does indeed work. I spent probably close to an hour pushing him along the road with my mount towards the objective point and the mission resumed as it should have. Thank goodness.

@ubi-baron Still not patched out in 1.04

I got another solution. Since I ran out of arrows when I tried to move the ealdorman, I went to the nearest shop to get arrows. The game autosaved at that point and I tried loading that save. After that the ealdorman was 200m away from the quest starting point on a horse and I was able to continue the game. Hope this helps.
