@corndog1242 You sir are a legend, it totally worked.
Thanks so much for the tip.

This is still broken for me. Both NPC are dead.

my bug is occuring in the side mission “horn of ragnar”, it is in the bottom right corner of glowecestrescire. i completed everything, chose to defend braun and then we fought the homeowner together. after we killed the homeowner nothing happened. i wasnt able to talk to braun and still cannot complete the quest, its just there on my map. i dont know why this is happening, but if this is the one thing that holds me back from getting the platnium and 100%, i will be disappointed in ubisoft.

I'm also experiencing this issue. I'm able to start the quest but unable to finish it. After the choice to "defend or defeat Bron," no matter which I choose, I'm unable to interact or kill either NPC.

This is a progression blocking bug and keeping me from a platinum as I cannot attain the conpletionist trophy.

This is version 1.1.1 and "The Horn of Ragnar" remains bugged.

@oulsteen I also cannot interact with either Bron or the homeowner. Neither NPC engages in combat after the "defend or defeat Bron" dialogue and I'm unable to kill either NPC.

This is after patch 1.1.1

@ubi-orion is there any update on this? I'm still unable up progress on this quest

I'm unable to progress in "The Horn of Ragnar" world mystery. Before the patch, I was unable to start the quest entirely. Post v1.1.1 I'm able to start the quest, but after the "defend or defeat Bron" dialogue I cannot interact with either Bron or the homeowner. Both NPCs are just standing there and despite which option I choose, neither will initiate combat and I cannot kill them.

This bug is preventing me from completing the game and getting a platinum. It's been bugged for months. Please fix this.

This continues to be an issue of PS5. See link for a video. The are no NPC around for me.

@psgens same here. It's the only quest keeping me from a platinum. I've tried the forums and messaging Ubisoft support and I've yet to receive a response.

None of the workarounds listed here are working for me.

I found a workaround to solve the quest:

sometimes there is a knight on a horse passing the house. I shot his horse, so he attacked me and then I lured him towards Bron. After 2 or 3 „accidental“ hits bron died and the quest proceeded. I hope this helps you

@crazypsycho18

I traveled 500M away to Belas Knap. Carried an oil jug back, placed it next to Bron, shot it, pulled out a torch and waited for us both to catch fire. He died immediately and the home owner came strolling up the road with a speech bubble above his head. Hope this helps.

@atxkriminal1985 this doesn't help me. Both NPC are dead and I've carried them off in hopes they'd respwan.

@psgens I'm sorry. This is only a work around for those who can start the event but the NPCs idle and do nothing.

A better fix is to set the house on fire wait for a guard to investigate then kill him pick his body up place at the feet of the person you chose to die and throw a torch at the dead body this will kill them.

I've confirmed that this is still an issue even after the 1.1.2 update.

The issue began when I killed the homeowner but was unable to speak with Bron. I attempted a work around which ended up killing Bron. Now neither NPC is alive and the quest is unfinished. I've spent hours fast traveling, wandering around, and existing the animus. Nothing works. I just want the mystery to reset so I can at least attempt it again. This is the last thing I need to complete to get the platinum trophy.

Please fix ASAP. I've been sitting on this issue for over a month now and see the issue isn't even on the list of known issues despite all the forums about it on this discussion board.

@psgens I just encountered this problem as I’m typing this! I did realize how far this problem went back! Ubisoft pls you gotta fix this!

Had this issue on Xbox Series X and killed the home owner but he wasn't entirely dead. I would shoot him with arrows while he laid on the ground after being defeated and he would make noise like he was still living. I carried him to the river nearby and he drowned with blood coming off of him. I was then able to speak to the burglar and completed the quest. Something about the glitch seemed to be keeping the one who was killed from being killed completely. :

For me, I chose Bron's side and fought the homeowner right outside the door to the house.

Very easy decision: set yourself on fire in the house with fireplace and than stand beside your target. He will set on fire too and die. You can bump your target to the house
