Discussing the advanced nature of contemporary video games could be an interesting topic for a research paper. Regrettably, it’s common for these games to have numerous annoying glitches upon release, and the latest survival game set in the RuneScape universe – Dragonwilds – is no exception. Players have reported issues such as crashes at launch, and strangely low gem drop rates. Fortunately, there aren’t any game-breaking issues, right? Well, not quite. Some users are encountering a significant problem: the Wise Old Man appears to be missing from the game. Today, we will discuss potential solutions for restoring this character in Dragonwilds.

How to fix missing Wise Old Man bug in RuneScape Dragonwilds

In the classic game of RuneScape, the Wise Old Man is a well-recognized character. Consequently, it’s no wonder that developers of RuneScape Dragonwilds introduced this explorer. He plays a significant role in the main storyline as well. Initially, you encounter him at the temple located just a few strides from your starting point.

Towards the latter part of the game, the Wise Old Man shifts his position to a new spot. To reach him, you should traverse the path from Temple Woods leading to the river. Once you’ve crossed the bridge, take the first significant right turn in the village. This NPC can be found atop the ruins that resemble a church. To get there, you’ll need to ascend the stairs. However, it’s important to note that this character may become stuck during gameplay, which could potentially hinder your advancement.

By the way, one of the players came up with a solution for this issue. Keep in mind that it involves editing the game files, so proceed with caution and remember to save a copy of your original files first.

  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.
