NORSE Oath of Blood has some pesky bugs, and one of the most frustrating ones gets triggered during the Iron Will quest.
As reported in the Steam forums, the quest isn’t working for anyone as intended. If you can’t complete the quest, you won’t be able to proceed further with the game. While an official fix is yet to be released at the time of writing, the community has come up with some ways to solve the problem at hand that you can try for yourself.
NORSE Oath of Blood Iron Will quest fix
The bug in discussion seems to happen in the second part of the Iron Will quest. The first fight of the quest works as intended. Then, some of the enemy units become friendly, and this prevents you from killing them. Trouble is, unless you kill them, you can’t proceed with completing the mission.
Here are a few solutions that can potentially work. The exact fix appears to differ for everyone, so try them all until you find something that works out for you.
- Usually, saving the game and reloading it should fix most bugs in the game. While you could lost bit of progress, the bug should be fixed. This is the easiest way to fix any bug, including the one that happens in Iron Will.
- You can kill everyone at the location, but you’ll need to create a new save file when you’re by the bugged NPCs. Reload the save, and you’ll go past the bugged phase. However, I don’t like killing every NPC to proceed.
There’s another method that you can try. Go to the bridge on the same side where the first fight takes place. Gather your entire group, and start a new turn. Switch through all the characters by pressing the Tab button, and then save the game. Reload this save, and you’ll find that you’re out of combat. You can proceed to begin the second fight and complete the quest as intended.
I am quite positive that the last solution should work and fix the Iron Will bug. However, a fix should be dropped soon by the developers, which will make it easier for all to complete the quest.
