New World: Place the Musk to Lure the Alpha – Quest Encounter Bug

Quest Encounter – Place the Musk to Lure the Alpha is one fairly straightforward objective on paper. All you have to do is collect Musk by hunting wolves and place it inside a specific cave. While this is as uncomplicated as it gets, the quest is broken, and users are unable to complete it.

You must be wondering, what is it?

The only way to fix Quest Encounter – Place the Musk to Lure the Alpha is pressing ‘reset’ in the quest journal, which may or may not work for everyone, but it’s worth a shot. 

I know the fix seems underwhelming, but it’s better to grasp at straws than just give up. If you ask me, this quest is the embodiment of a poor game design by AGS. 

Firstly, many players are finding it absolutely backbreaking to obtain Musk. 

Then after some hard work, when you do collect the required item and head inside a cave to place it on a glowing spot on the ground, ‘E’ won’t pop up on the screen, and you’ll find no Musk in your inventory. Ultimately, you won’t be able to interact with the spot leaving the mission incomplete.

Thankfully, resetting the quest journal has worked for players, and if you too come under that umbrella, or you’re one of the lucky ones who never encountered the issue, to begin with, you may also want to dive into this quest’s walkthrough to ensure a smooth journey.
