    Markos Fate--BUG

    I thought I finished this by beating, a few thugs, and got his wine and mamas ax. Now dozens of hours later, it still says I can "protect Markos" but he's nowhere to be found on Kos or anywhere. I don't have, his wine inventory, possibly sold and I think I sold, the ax, as it wasn't legendary if I recall. I only have a couple missions left after this...2 being getting the Spartan and Athenian seals as well as 2 side ones. I would like to get 100% as I have 115-120hrs in this.(best game for the value I have bought in a long time). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing this, its not a known issue.

    When you go to your quest log screen, under the quest 'Markos's Fate' does it show 'Protect Markos' under the current objective? If so you should be able to find the location on the map. However if the current objective is blank you have encountered a bug.

    If this is the case I can only suggest loading an earlier save file if you have one.

    Thanks for the reply! Sorry it took awhile as I had forgot about this and then tried to access thru another link which didn't work. Yeah, it shows Protect Markos, but can't find him anywhere on the map. I went back to his vineyard on Kos and searched, the whole island, but no indication of him anywhere. I probably don't have a save that far back and if I did it'd be 15-20hrs earlier as I completed, a bunch of stuff afterwards. Oh well, I'll just finish, the seals part, which is difficult as it's hard to find forts that I have not yet conquered that may have a Polamarch left. Excellent game, now to finish Origins which I had started but then got Odyssey so finished that one.

    Hello. I tried that and the bug is still active. I reloaded a previous save point many times, but every time I defeat the bandits, nothing else happens afterwards.

    I just did this today and have the same bug, are they just ignoring it? I reloaded saves before starting the fight multiple times. Every time I kill the last guy, Markos walks back to his original spot, but there is no option to talk to him and the objective doesn't change from "protect Markos"

    I have also tried everything I could except restarting the entire game progress over all in order to try and fix this bug as well. So far absolutely nothing- you accept to protect Markos then after you kill the last guy the mission just says protect him and he’s gone as well as everything else

    Sorry to hear that you are also experiencing this bug. The next thing for you to try is starting your progress over again as it may be that your save is bugged.

    It worked for me

    GUYS, this have just happened to me, and after reading this, i meditated close to Markos (at the door of the house of the vineyard, just a few stairs upwards Markos) and instantly 2 thughs appeared and i was able to continue the quest, maybe i was so lucky, but i hope it can work for everyone. Btw, before this i also did "fast travel" but it didnt work.
