[0.980][CONTENT] Assassin's Blade quest will not go away

from Elemental Forums

This was a really fun quest line, but after I chose to execute the last victim, the original quest location simply remained on the map with the note:

"Have the Assassin's Blade"
End of quote

Is that it? Is there more to this quest that failed to trigger?

Should the quest location disappear?

You have to go back to the quest location with the blade in the inventory of the main hero, not equiped, and then you get the reward.

Confirmed, that worked. Thanks! I guess there are two things that need fixing here:

  1. Final quest directions should say something like "Return the Assassin's Blade". The current "Have the Assassin's Blade" is nonsensical.
  2. It should work with the blade equipped, especially considering the blade is good enough that you are likely to be using it during the quest. If that isn't possible for some technical reason, you could work around it by disabling the blade after the last victim is killed, thus preventing it from being equipped. Something along the lines of "As you wipe the bloodied blade, it crumbles in your hands." -> "Return remains of the Assassin's Blade to the crypt."
