The technical state of modern games is a topic for a thesis. Most of them have many irritating bugs at launch. The new survival set in the low gem drop ratio. Luckily, there are no game breaking issues, am I right? Well… that’s not entirely true. Some s have a big problem with missing Wise Old Man. So, today we are going to talk about how to make this character reappear.

How to fix missing Wise Old Man bug in RuneScape Dragonwilds

Wise Old Man is a well-known character in classic RuneScape. So, it’s not a surprise that in RuneScape Dragonwilds developers implemented this adventurer. He is also closely related to the main plot. You will find him for the first time in the temple a few steps from the starting point.

Later in the game, Wise Old Man changes moves to another place. So, you must follow the road from Temple Woods to the river. After crossing the bridge, turn the first major turn to the right in the village. This NPC stands at the top of the ruins which look like the church. You have to climb the stairs. Unfortunately, this character is bugged and sometimes he gets stuck in the starting location. This will block your progress.

However, one of the players found a solution to this problem. It requires modifying game files, so you do this at your own risk. Also to back up (make a copy of) the original files.

  1. First open the AppData\Local\RSDragonwilds\Saved\SaveCharacters folder. Next you must edit the broken quest objective in your save file. Look for the quest ID yrRZnkmro-IvH_OmZ3f-5A and make sure that this part looks like the example presented below:

"QuestId": "yrRZnkmro-IvH_OmZ3f-5A",

"QuestState": 1,

"QuestObjective": "Find and hunt a deer",

  1. After checking that the above is in order, you should add these in the Quest Bool section of this quest:

{

"QuestVariableName": "WOMTempleHidden",

"QuestVariableValue": true

},

Hopefully, it will work, as it helped some other players. Good luck.
