Main Quest-line boss spawns

Alright, so I've been camping out for the last DAY in North AND South Janost Forests waiting for either Hackman or Griffith Blackstar to spawn.

I find it hard to believe that 2 main quest line boss mobs have 8 HOUR long spawn times. I don't have any other quests I can do and I'm still waiting for one of them to spawn...

Please make it so that we can kill these without having to watch the spawn 24/7 so we can get on with the game?

Hackman/blackstar are not part of the main quest line, and you've skipped some other quests so you're short on exp.

If I recall correctly, Hackman is currently bugged and has been disabled to prevent him causing disruption to the whole of the Southern Janost Forest.

Edit:
Even after you get these bosses, you'll find their quest lines just stop.

If you're having trouble finding XP to level up, perhaps it's because you missed a quest somewhere.

Have a look at yur Title Manager (T) and check the quest titles for Thunderhoof Hills, Southern & Northern Janost Forest and tell me which quests you need to gain any missing titles. Then, I will be able to help you further.

Zombolini, neither Blackstar nor Hackman are on the main quest line. They're both just side quests. You don't need to complete them.

Hackman is currently not in game due to a programming bug Runewaker is working on fixing. Griffith Blackstar's respawn time is 8 hours between kills, but you may be missing him because he is easily soloable these days.

But it sounds like you're having issues with the quest chains, so can I get some more info? What level are you currently? Have you completed the Return the Glory and Envoy to the Dragons quest chains in Dalanis, Southern and Northern Janost?

You might actually want to go back to Dalanis and check, if you are very low on experience. It's very easy to miss Return the Glory or Envoy to the Dragons.

The other thing that can happen is that there's a bit of a gap in the experience given in those zones, so you may be a little too low to pick up the quests in Limo Desert.

Let me know and I will try and help you figure out what to do next. But you definitely do not need to kill Hackman or Griffith.

Maybe, but my own Inferiority Complex won't be as good as yours. :D

Thanks for the informative replies everyone :)

I've JUST hit level 60

I've picked up the Envoy of Dragons quest line however I've stumbled across another bug in that doesn't let me finish the quest. Yallien doesn't appear. I've got the cloak on and everything, he's even a followable target but when I get there, he's not there.

Where does one pick up the Return to Glory Quest line?

Ultimately my goal is to be able to get into Angren but the guards keep stiff-arming me as soon as I try and enter. Not sure exactly why... Maybe they don't like my clothes?

We need the above information to help you fully.

Return to Glory comes later.
