Solved

Platform: PlayStation 5
Character Name: Kuleilei, NeeeeeNeeeeee
Bug Occurrence: Happened on multiple new characters

Description:

After defeating Count Geonor and returning to Clearfell Encampment, the dialogue option with The Hooded One to “Follow the Beast’s Trail” appears. However, selecting it does not trigger the cutscene or transition to Act 2. I remain stuck in Act 1 with no access to Vastiri Outskirts.

This issue occurs even on fresh characters. The quest “Travel East” remains active.

Steps to Reproduce:

Create a new character

Progress through Act 1 normally

Kill Count Geonor

Return to Clearfell Encampment

Speak to The Hooded One and choose “Follow the Beast’s Trail”

Nothing happens — no cutscene, no transition to Act 2

Expected Result:

Cutscene should play and I should be transported to Vastiri Outskirts, beginning Act 2.

Actual Result:

Dialogue option appears, but selecting it does nothing. Act 2 remains inaccessible.

Additional Notes:

Restarting the game or creating a new instance doesn’t help

The bug persists across multiple new characters

Cannot warp to party members already in Act 2

I had something similar - allthough not exact same scenario.

I killed Geonor - then back in town. Talked to The Hooded One to Identify items. I dit not choose dialogue option to follow the beast's trail.

Then talked to Una and Renly. Then back to The Hooded One to go to Act 2. Only now, the dialogue option was gone. Nothing I did could bring it back, except this: Go back and kill the count again.

Then the dialogue option reappeared, and I could progress to act II.
