Hello,

Upon assassinating the man, the completion did not trigger. I'm unable to redo it through an earlier save.

Restarting the game or reloading a save does not solve the issue.

I'm left with this only one mystery to complete, then I'm done with all mysteries.

Tried repeatedly (at least 20-30 attempts) throwing the pyro canister into and onto the burning cart w/o triggering a response (beyond the norseman committing suicide upon giving up and leaving). I'm very under-levelled for the area (character power level around 35 vs area power level 250), could it be that the cart has hit points and the damage caused by the incendiary based on level?

@niasdyn yes same with me did you fix it somehow

@parakeety21 Sadly no, dead NPC has disappeared and mystery isn't completed. Tried numerous workaround, but nothing is fixing it.

Same issue here (except the npc hasn't disappeared yet - he is just laying dead next to the burning cart). Hopefully this bug gets addressed because it is my last mystery as well.

Hi there. I am raising this ticket in regards to the world event "An Efficient Cremation" in Snotinghamscre

IGN link to the walkthrough for the mission I am referring to: https://www.ign.com/wikis/assassins-creed-valhalla/An_Efficient_Cremation

I have completed the mission and assassinated the quest giver as directed. Eivor then responds with dialogue to the tune of "No place in hel for people like you". However, the quest is not being marked as completed. The mystery icon still appears on the map but everything is completed. I have tried fast travelling away from the location, going to Norway, turning the console on and off, but every time I go back to the location nothing changes - the quest giver is still dead and I cannot get it to mark as complete. I even tried moving the body of the quest giver to the nearby river hoping that fast travelling away and coming back to the location would trick it to "reset", but when I returned the body was still floating in the river.

This is now the final mystery I need to complete, and so it is preventing me finishing the game and winning one of the last achievements.

Any insight into this glitch, or any other workarounds, would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you!

I have the same issue. Let's hope it is sorted.

I've finished every mystery (including this one), but this one never registered as complete. When I went back to the location the body of the man I killed was there, and the two oil jars still lit up with eagle vision. I went so far as to take his body off the map in order to try and get him to respawn, to no avail. Now I've lost his body somewhere and the mission is still incomplete. I finished this 40+ hours of game play ago and don't intend on giving up all that progress. Finished multiple quests and mysteries since, and switched in between maps many times. I just need this Mystery to reset. Playing on Xbox One

@d-von2002 Still waiting for a response on this myself. Come on Ubisoft!

@ACfanUK
Just checked it again after the newest update. Still bugged.

I have a problem with this side quest:

I have burned the family and then I have talked to the man until he killed him but the mission does not complete it ...

I've come back days later (I've already skipped the main story even) and the man is always dead and won't let me restart / complete the mission.

Any solution?

Sidequest:

I have run into an issue in the world event “an efficient cremation”. The quest does not show completion after killing the main NPC at the building. As far as I know, I have completed it correctly by using the 2 oil jars to burn the bodies in the cart.

I encountered this too and after several reloads I accidentally found a solution: I just walked away towards the road next to the oil jar outside and the NPC just started saying he can’t stand the guilt or something. That triggered the end of the event automatically for me. If you fast travel, the NPC will be dead when you return and you’ll get stuck. I suggest having a manual save even in the middle of the bug—as long as the NPC is alive, there’s a chance to end the event.

Has anybody else encountered this issue? I went through the quest as required, throwing the oil jars onto the cart. Then once I kill the NPC, the quest does not complete.

@lenbawson Same problem - still waiting for forum to acknowledge the issue and put into a thread to fix.

@Niasdyn @ACfanUK @jecht900 @Parakeety21 @Pickle_Blaise

Guys any luck? Anyone could finish the game in the end?

Seems that Ubisoft still did not fix the issue and not sure if to keep going with the progress and leave this quest without doing it and in the end will be fine...

More than 150h here already.
