@roughnebula1719 Yes! I had rounds where I was trying to hit the other person but my swings went through them and didn't do damage until they hit me. I should have been doing something to them.

Read this in the list of known bug

Cannot complete The Case of the Missing Ale / world marker misplaced
Workaround – Finding the brew: The brew is located here. Spoilers.
Workaround – Handing over the brew to Ake: You have to hand over the brew here. Spoilers.

This, however, doesn't work for my boyfriend's game. I got mine to complete but the furthest he can get is the fist-fight with Ake. After that, he goes to where the ale is but it never glows blue. He can pick it up but if he goes to where Ake should be, Ake is never there.

The marker for where the ale is showed up the first time he tried it but he dropped the barrel when he walked across a stream that was just a little too deep.

My boyfriend has this bug and can't progress. He tried going back to an earlier save but it still didn't work. He has a boat in the road but can't speak to Ubba.

I was able to speak to him and had no boat in the road. We are both playing on the same PS4.
