Since the release, the co-op shooter Outriders has been struggling with several issues. One of these is a quest bug in the side mission “Old Powers”, which can still occur. MeinMMO shows you how to circumvent it if it happens to you.
What kind of bug is this? The error occurs in the side mission “Old Powers”. You can find the quest in Chapter 10 of the main story in the old ruins. You receive the task from Dr. Zahedi to locate and examine some obelisks in the ruins.
What is the problem with this mission? It may happen that the quest marker does not update correctly. This causes players to be misled and get stuck at a certain point.
Fortunately, there is a way to circumvent this bug. We will show you how it works.
How to find the 3 obelisks
How to reach your goal nonetheless: During the quest, you need to visit a total of three obelisks. This will take you across the area of the old ruins. However, the quest marker does not lead many players to the respective obelisks and does not update.
Nevertheless, it is not complicated to get to the obelisks:
- You need to start from the camp “Distorted Sculpture”.
- You can find the “Obelisk in the Courtyard” by orienting left from the flag. Go back a little towards the river and then turn right.
- You can find the “Obelisk of the Forgotten Ruins” by going up the stairs from the flag and turning left.
- You can find the “Obelisk of the Valley Ruins” by turning around from the flag, heading towards the river, and then turning left. Keep to the left by the wall, and you should find the entrance to the area.
It is important that you follow the order. Otherwise, the respective paths are blocked, and you will end up in a dead end.
You can also watch the whole quest in this video from the channel Game Guides Channel:
Initial complaints about the bug arose as early as the release of Outriders in the associated subreddit (via reddit).
However, the bug still apparently exists, as the latest posts below are 6 days old (as of April 21) and thus have not yet been resolved. The reason was possibly the other issues that Outriders has been struggling with.
Did you experience the problem as well? Did the description help you? Or did you go through the quests without any issues? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
