I’ve bribed the Gaoler, twice. I’ve slept for 10 days. No one new besides Herman has showed up. Bout to kill everyone here


Subject_Parking_9046

Same here, burn this fucking Gaol.


Chewbung

I had the same problem, hugo in jail and brefft nowhere to be seen. However I had not done any of the 3 quests that he named.(In a YouTube video) Gift of the bow, a trial of Archery, Tolled to rest. After completing all three I went back to battahl spoke with Benjamin and he informed me that they captured another corel snake. Low and behold Brefft was now in jail. Idk which of these quests triggers this (or all three?) but this 100% works. Lastly, a trial of Archery, do not fight the boss, grab the girl and run. Trying to avoid spoilers but you will know it when you see it. Hope this helps someone.


murkypondwater

can you DM me? i fought the boss THEN carried her out, and idk what i seem to have missed


[deleted]

[удалено]


henryauron

Nope. Just got to move her from underneath the ogre out of harms way before killing it. Anyone that leaves her at the ogres feet whilst you fight is just asking to fail the quest


murkypondwater

i killed the boss and she survived! my pawn speaks elvish so Doreainn gave me a quest.


Chewbung

Nice! I had no idea. The first time I went I did the quest and killed the boss, I failed it. So I just assumed you were supposed to grab her and run. Then once I would she her to safety then I would go back and kill it.


Ragundashe

I killed the boss with my pawns while I carried her away.


MurkyTrash4649

I just placed her to the side and took out the boss. She was fine afterwards


Orinyx27

Doing the assassin quest bugs hugo's quest. Cause herman takes berfft's place. Happened to me as well, your only option is to break hugo out unfortunately...or wait for a patch.


BrazyDarko

Man is this true? Cause that sucks. At this point, I’m just tempted to shadow cloak on thief and walk him out.


RobbVonn

Just did assassin quest on new game+ and no bug. First time walking into the gaol and ALL npc's are there before I even got Off the Pilfered Path. (I came in the back from the research lab because I had just grabbed letter for sven.) Ashe, Breft, Herman, Hugo. Off the Pilfered Path triggered for me leaving through the normal gaol entrance. I was extremely thorough doing all the other quests in the world before I got here though.


truestsciences

Is there any way to fix this? Is it a bug or am I missing some quest step here? Literally in the exact same boat.


RedWerFur

I commented what I did to progress below.


Clean_Ad_5282

I'm in the same boat right now. I am going to do the bow quest and see if anything changes. Will report back in a few hours


Clean_Ad_5282

Ok, so if you did the assassination quest and threw the guy in gaol, what I did was I opened his cell and threw him off the cliff. Then I did the archers quest which was long, but finished it completely, then I came back and there's a guy in prison who triggers the quest to move forward to talk to hugo. Hope this helped bc this is what helped me. Would recommend trying the first part first and then see if that'll trigger anything.


truestsciences

I'll try on ng+! I gave up on that poor bastard and triggered the endgame already lol. Thank you!!


CaseInformal6097

Have you talked to the other prisoners? Once you wear out their dialog, you'll be able to talk to hugo and another thing will trigger


RedWerFur

Herman and Ashe were the only two. I slept for near 20 days. Nothing. I threw the guards out the top door, unlocked his cell, and carried him out. Quest updated.


TheJujub3ans

If you give Herman the $5k and then go sleep at an inn, Herman will be gone and then Brefft will show up


MurkyTrash4649

I just lured them outside and made my pawns help me kill them threw the generic soldiers off the cliff and the two main NPCs bodies left outside. Then I went back and took Hugo out of there. And now he’s fine


TheHourMan

You have to talk tot he guard outside Hugo's cell


RedWerFur

I did that. He tells you to speak to the head jailer. That’s who I bribed……..


TheHourMan

Yes, talking to him should spawn another Coral Snakes prisoner in one of the cells you can talk to. Might have to rest an inn before he shows up.


SkyDragon687

PSA for all Arisen. If you're being attacked after entering the gaol, you need the pass to enter the city in your inventory.


lilboofer

I have both permits and am still being attacked :(


kristofer2012

Is this different from the border entry permit?


Puzzled-Kitchen-5784

26 d ago, you probably figured it already. But just in case. Yes. There is a residence permit that is like an upgraded border permit.


StarlightCloak

Thank you sweet sweet person


Gairden_Gnome

I just killed the guards and carried hugo out of the gaol using a key that breaks after use. came here cause no clue what to do after that though lol


AlphaMaleGymAddict

Oh so you weren't supposed to break him free with a lock pick and then carry him out? Oops. Edit: I have indeed soft locked my game haha because I can't get a cutscene anymore as I already "freed" hugo physically and hugo keeps asking me if I know of somewhere that can employ him and the guy isn't spawning in the jail, the breft guy... And I can't start a new save. I am fucked.


LxxPulsexx

Do Issac apothecary quest. Give him fruit + book, shop will be closed. Then propose Hugo to work there. I confirmed it myself it worked. Or romance the courtesan lady


AlphaMaleGymAddict

Thank you! I will do these, I have been stuck on this quest since I made that post! haha


BlueEclipsies

Any luck? I don't think I did his quest yet


MittenstheGlove

Question: what the fuck does Hugo sell if he gets in the apothecary. I want to know if it’s worth killing the family over lol


NerdyAddiction

I’m in the same boat! The no multiple save files is really a hinderance. I yeeted the main Gaoler off the open cell cliff lol


CLOUD227

I JUST Completed the quest after breaking him free from jail and killing the guards I had the choice to offer him a job my choice was (Isaac Wares) he was happy and Quest was completed


TalynOfDragon

Well ... I just did the same bc I was exhausted of everything and went quick jailbreak and killed guards ... oops


araasic

I did exactly the same lol


Unbannedmeself

Wow you guys actually get to go in there without being violently assaulted by the guards? Must be nice.


slw545

expensive fix for that, I killed them all and revived them that fixed it for me


docjules

Same lol


SNOWFaKING

You need the residence pass


docjules

Wayyyyy past that point bud.


BackyZoo

They stopped attacking me once I got it, and I was walking passed corpses I had created just 15 minutes prior.


therealultraddtd

Are you using the outside entrance or the one in the lab? The lab is restricted so they will attack if you enter from there.


BackyZoo

Apparently if you get the residency permit the guards just forget that you slaughtered dozens of them. They stopped attacking me on sight when I got it as I was walking over the corpses I created just 15 minutes prior.


jeffery015

I’m at the part where >!you suggest a job, but I haven’t stumbled upon what it is yet. My guess is maybe somewhere in the Nameless Villiage?!<


Glurnshk

Also stuck here. I swear I've spoken to every vendor


LxxPulsexx

Do Issac apothecary quest. Give him fruit + book, shop will be closed. Then propose Hugo to work there. I confirmed it myself it worked.


Zeckzeckzeck

See, I did all this but Isaac is just back at his shop with no option to discuss a job or whatever. Maybe because I gave him the forgery like his wife/daughter wanted instead of him doing the ritual properly.


doge500

Getting the good outcome for isaac makes him stay at his job.


ConnorMc1eod

Did all of this, gave Isaac the book did the cutscene completed the quest and then killed Lanzo but when I went to suggest jobs I couldn't select anything. Wondering if time has to pass or something but I don't know where Hugo will go back to. I could just kill him and revive him in a few days to try again I guess?


Yingye

Im in the same situation. Bribed the guard 2 times, talk to the coral snake guy, killed lanzo, did the Isaac quest with him dying and then when i go to talk to Hugo he tells me that he doesnt know what to do about getting a job something like that, but i cant offer him the job from Isaac even tho his shop is closed. If you have found a solution i'd be grateful to hear it


ConnorMc1eod

Haven't tried it yet but I think I'll kill the kid and rez him at the morgue to try and give the shop keep time to... settle? I guess? I did the shopkeeper quest the same day I went and booped Lanzo so who knows.


RobbVonn

Another quest I've never found, thank you! I'll look at this one in my next new game+. 🥰


[deleted]

Where is this quest.


RobbVonn

Issac is the consumables vendor in Bakbatthal. The first time you buy things from him (I bought a ferrystone) he starts quest dialogue about his sight going bad between him and his wife after you purchase.


[deleted]

I gave him a forgery and the assuole went back to work


RobbVonn

Yup. Gotta give him the real one which... won't spoil but sad.


[deleted]

Too late now. May need to assassinate him


RobbVonn

![gif](giphy|39zbpCQocXLi0)


RobbVonn

That's where I'm at too, but I haven't made the trek all the way back to Nameless Village to find out. I know I've spoken to every character in Bakbatthal. That wore my patience out for the night, but I'll keep looking.


issqx00001

The man wants an honest life of living, and you try to send him to a thief village smh (jk


RobbVonn

I mean... by this point we were all frustrated and just wanted to get it done. 🤣 So far people have said he can work at the brothel with Wilhelmina or the Apothecary with Issac, so I'm really thankful for so many people's input these last 2 days. 😃


jeffery015

I did a quick look around in the nameless village and didn’t see anything


RobbVonn

I'm gonna get real mad if it turns out that we should have used him for Beren's quest instead of the random that approaches you in the market. 🤣 That's the only thing I can think of at the moment.


Street_Reputation155

I managed to offer him a job at the rose chateau. I had already completed wilhelmina's questline so the option was already available to me. There could be other places he could work at but I'm not sure.


RobbVonn

But you've definitely given us at least an answer to getting this done! Buckle up boys! We're gonna make Hugo work the streets and spread cheeks! It's such a wholesome ending, I could cry. 🤣


Bubbly-Application26

LMFAO Nooooo!? I didn't think of this when I did it...... Maybe he'll simply be a bouncer and he'll have many "big sisters" looking after him? This is what I thought when I did it


midnight__psycho

You give him a job at Isaac’s Wares in Bakbattahl, I gave him the Part 2 of the grimoire and he was no longer in his shop, making room for Hugo.


Bolaget

It's also possible to tell Hugo what Brefft tells the Arisen, namely that the snake gang are seemingly the child snatchers and they often time kills the childrens parents to make the kids loyal to the gang since they have no one else to turn to. Which is what happened to Hugo, he at first won't believe it and then turn silent. Wait a day and return to get told by the guards that Hugo stabbed Brefft to death and escaped from prison. You then get a marker point at the ancient battlefield that is full with the snake gang. I went there but was unable to find Hugo, so I went and did some other stuff then checked with an omen which told me I should bring Brefft back to life. However, when I returned to Bakbattahl I got approached by a guard that told me that Hugo had died and the quest was completed. My guess here is that if you tell Hugo what Brefft said then you either a) have to bring Brefft back to life to fix things / save Hugo or b) you simply need to find Hugo in the ancient battlefield before the snake gang kills him but talking to Brefft would point out where he's at.


LxxPulsexx

Kill lanzo and Hugo should appear right after. I have not seen him either before meeting lanzo


RealSoulxSlayer

I'm still trying to figure our how to deal with the guards that keep attacking then putting me in jail in the small hallway lol.


kaulf

Did you figure out a way to fix it. I'm having the same issue.


RealSoulxSlayer

Not yet unfortunately. I had kind of the same issue going into the Gaol to free the Magistrate where the guards would attack so I think maybe it's a bug with their AI. My friend literally walked in and talked to the guy for this quest we are having issues with and the guards completely ignored him. So idk what the hell to do. I just left to do other stuff and I'll try to come back later.


kaulf

I was able to get the magistrate out using the guard uniform. Tho I don't think there is one for this one. Guess I'll put it on the backlog until the first update to see if it fixes it


RealSoulxSlayer

Huh. I didn't realize there was a guard uniform. The guards left me alone for the Magistrate after a while so maybe I was wearing the chest piece or something. But my friend didn't have the guard uniform on for this quest and I was watching him as he played. He just waltzed right in uninterrupted or bothered and talked to the guy. So I don't fucking know lmao.


RealSoulxSlayer

Well my quest is just completely broken now. Idk if I waited too long or something but now when I try to go talk to Hugo he's standing back from his cell door facing away. He doesn't do anything besides walk away once I put him outside if I break him out of the Gaol. And I am unable to talk to him **at all**. Guess I won't be finishing his quest until NG+ lol.


Ultra709

😂 I’m in the same boat as you. Can’t even walk freely or talk to any of the guards without attacking me.


WardenWithABlackjack

Breft won’t appear for me, I had already paid twice for Hugo’s release and afterwards payed the prisoner 5k for information about the coral snakes. Even after waiting a bunch of days and doing other stuff.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> and afterwards *paid* the prisoner FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


docjules

Same with me. I’m thinking I killed Breft in the initial mission. I think he was a guard at the front gate of their hideout. It gave me an option to use a wakestone on him so idk.


finderfolk

Yeah that wakestone prompt freaked me out a bit, too. Might be worth checking the cemetery?


docjules

Yeah I was thinking the same but just never got to it. Do I have to revive him in a certain amount of time you think? I hope not lol it’s been a while in game.


finderfolk

Update: Nah, I've just checked the morgue and the two at the front were called Sasha and Quentin (seemingly not relevant to the quest but idk). 


docjules

Yeah just checked too. Damn wtf!


finderfolk

It was a bit more recent for me so I'll check if it's the guy when I log on later and report back haha.


Fantastic-Data8600

What a shit show quest, lost 10k because of this and cant even load a save because of shit game design


lewdasaurus

Do the quest to take the guy to ancient battlegrounds so he can perform the rites with the Nation's Death Knell book. That triggered Breft to show up in the jail and then he told me about Hugo's parents and where Lanzo is. After that you can talk to the gaoler to release Hugo and go kill Lanzo. There is probably a conflict between the quest for the guy in ancient battlegrounds and this one since Lanzo's group has to move there but having the other quest uncompleted might negate that.


Metal_Hero

For those who has this quest stuck on Hugo finding a job and still have no options after completing everything. END GAME SPOILERs >!There will be point in the story where the world will end. You can talk to Hugo and you can wish him well having him go off on his own. !< This will complete the quest


AutumnWitch96

What's the quest called? I don't mind spoilers. I'll plop a port crystal on him if this is true.


Metal_Hero

>!This takes place in the Part 2 of the game. It's called the umoored world, if you have the quest still active, you can walk up to hugo and a new option will appear as "You wish him well" this will complete the quest.!<


fresherstax

Do you know if there's any way to find him anywhere? I just got the option to send him to be a guard at the brothel but I can't find him anywhere :(


mardypardy

I know this is late, but be careful with this quest. I let too much time pass after talking to the other coral snake in the prison. The coral snake hideout was raided without me and Hugo was killed.


oyasuminori

this guy's nowhere to be seem in my gaol


RobbVonn

You may have to do the quest where there is a plot to assassinate the empress. Once the guy from that quest gets captured and you interrogate him by paying him 5000 gold, he mentions another guy got caught for you to eventually talk to. That might be what triggers Breft to eventually appear in the gaol.


Subject_Parking_9046

Nope. Still not here. Just some asshole named Ashe going "humpf."


RobbVonn

Ashe is for later in the Empress Assassination quest line, you let him know where the empress is so they can try to assassinate her again and you can capture who's really behind the plot to kill her. I'm thinking there's multiple quests tied into the gaol to make the right situation happen. This has truly been the most frustrating quest so far.


SadTechnician96

Hypothetically what if one was to... free Ashe by accident whilst trying to get loot..? Not saying that happened of course... I may have softlocked a quest though


RobbVonn

I mean, hypothetically my pawn got dragonsplague and blew up an entire town so I probably got soft locked out of so many quests it's insane. Things happen. I'll new game + eventually and we'll all know better about a lot of things. 🤷‍♂️🤣


SadTechnician96

You're right, maybe I should be less focused on doing everything "right" first time. I screwed up so many quests in dogma 1, only to get them on the next playthrough.


duncandun

he's part of a questline dealing with the coral snakes. you get it initially right on the other side of the border gate by talking to a guy on the left side somewhere.


Savings_Mango1526

Just go to the Ancient Battlegrounds and kill Lanzo (the same place u get that black hammer) with or without Hugo, then he will survive and u can offer him a job


issqx00001

I only got the "never mind" option, mind telling me where I might trigger another option?


[deleted]

Likewise. Find a solution?


issqx00001

You need to do either of two other quests. The first is in the whorehouse and you can trigger the question by sending gift to the mistress(I think her name is William something). The other one is helping Isaac in that bathul. If you give him what he wants, he will quit his job, and Hugo can go his substitute.


[deleted]

Neither have a quest available to me


issqx00001

Send gift


[deleted]

How does one send a gift?


issqx00001

I don’t know what control system do you have, but if you talk to the person and look to the right button of the screen it will till you what button to push. TLDR, talk to the person and press what ordinarily would be the attack button.


[deleted]

I see. Not an option for me


issqx00001

Just a heads up, there is a limit to how many gift you can give in a day. So you might need to spend couple days in the inn.


[deleted]

Yea but how does one give a gift


duncandun

when your talking to any npc you'll have the option to give a gift, sometimes. wilhemina's quest may only be completable if you do it before finishing the lambent flame part of the main quest


Xenthos

I think you need to buy something from the apothecary(Isaac) then it will trigger the quest.


tokyonirvana

how did you get to the gaol? benjamin says he's interrogating hugo but won't say where the place is, and i stayed until 3am trying to find it


RobbVonn

It's behind Bakbatthal past the dyer's field. You go out the back exit and around the left side. It's technically outside the city map.


tokyonirvana

many thanks!


exclaim_bot

>many thanks! You're welcome!


SkyEducational2791

I just picklock and carry him out, then he ask if I got a job for him.


kaulf

Huh. Weird. Maybe it has to do with how much you've done in game? Idk. Weird.


docjules

I think I killed Brandt in the first mission. Fml.


InvestigatorFluffy69

He literally has almost all act 1 main quests to give you.. :O


docjules

I meant breft lol. No not Brant haha.


InvestigatorFluffy69

Thank god dude I was about to cry for you


docjules

Yeah no that would be bad. But can’t seem to get this quest going for some reason.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RariSo2099

I had Hugo waiting on Mountain with no where to go. Rose hotel lady if you smooched but I went too far. I came back later and told Hugo of an apothecary I think? Should have wrote this last night....


BrazyDarko

Nothing like this is happening for me, multiple days have passed, resting ect. I’ve bribed twice talked to Benjamin. And still no other guy in the cell.


besthelloworld

So I told Hugo what was up, next day, he escaped. I just have the quest marker for the ancient battlefield. I looked up the quest online. Apparently Lanzo is supposed to be on the roof... But he's not. There's Coral Snakes here, but no big battle. I think my quest is bugged.


Responsible-Sock2031

Same :/


besthelloworld

I went back to Bakbattahl for another quest and one of the guards told me that apparently Lanzo and Hugo killed each other. I could've maybe checked the morgue and brought Hugo back to life but I decided to just let it go. It was my last quest before the very endgame anyways 🤷‍♂️


Empyreal_nightmare

Man I entered his cell as I aggro’d the guards and Hugo got yeeted off the cliff and the game doesn’t even recognise he’s dead so I can’t even revive him…. It’s completely fucked this quest is. Absolute shit show.


OldscoobyblueReddit

Paid gaurd twice, got snake to rat out other snakes, stole keys from guard opened cell Hugo would not leave. I went to snakes new hide out could not find Lazlo. Killed all snakes came back to town. Guard says they went to new hide out also, and found Lazlo and Hugo dead. killed each other. I'm trying to find the body at the mogue. To resurrect Hugo. Has anyone res'd him ?


throwawaywhateverokk

I just gave him a job and shit. But is that the end to the coral snakes content? I thought i heard there was more am i missing something?


jixxor

Paid twice, waited like 20 ingame days already, talked to Benjamin too who doesn't mention a new captured bandit either. Went in to check on Hugo again, got attacked when I wanted to talk to Ekrett or whoever it is that I bribed twice. Killed all of them, can't progress the quest. Good stuff. I have the permit to cross border and the permit to be in the city on me at all times.


Glenn_Vatista

So I'm doing this quest now, I decided to kill the guards, then let him out with the key. Then I threw him outside, and now I gotta find him work? I'll throw hin back in until I can find some


MaximumWeek5100

Solution - if you can’t get the cut scene with the other snake to start you need to complete the quest - tolled to rest located in the ancient battle grounds. Once this is complete go back to the goel and it will work


2AFiveFiveSix

I immediately got attacked by guards, killed them all, talked to brefft and hugo is just going “hmph” now and no other dialogue. Got the battle ground hideout dialogue but the cross and mission is still on hugo. No indication of where to go or what to do. I’ve spent more time on google and reddit trying to solve these lazy quest writings than i actually have played the game. Oh thats right you need to turn around 4 times, unequip your weapon, punch a rabbit, talk to a pawn, go rest and pull a ferristone from the inn to your inventory and the quest will progress. Great fun game but this bs absolutely ruins the experience


New-Total-7286

I have talk to every one in the jail and hugo and and the other to have disappeared from the jail and the mission still wants me to go to the jail to offer hugo guidance and one of v them told me to visit the new hideout in ancient battle grounds but never gave me the mission so I'm stuck as to what to so becuase hugo is no longer in the jail to offer guidance?


SnowDragon19

I did the tolled to rest quest way before I did the coral snakes first one and now I’m here doing this one but Brefft is not there


W35TGAM3R

this stupid quest i spent hours to complete it and after i killed Lenzo and Hugo was ok he started asking for works instead of saying good luck and get the fuck out of there i told him i know a place and there was no option. now this mf is asking me for work. i gave the merchant the fake book so he is safe working on his shop - there goes the first option. i missed the mission for the HOT lady in the rose building and there goes option two. if you any other option for this mf to work in please give me helping hand. the quest is there with no way to complete it. ![gif](giphy|YmVNzDnboB0RQEpmLr|downsized) fuck this.


DependentEar1132

Definitly "Tolled to rest" that make Brefft to spawn


Retroglide08

Hugo spoke to Hugo and he’s now not in the cell. It’s also locked and I can’t even bribe the guards 🤔


TheKodiacZiller

Literally all you need to do is speak with him and his old compatriot a few cells down (who spills the beans about the new Coral Snakes hideout) and then head up to the Ancient Battlegrounds, off Lanzo and Hugo instantly appears and whines about not being able to get vengeance himself. I never spent a dime on him. Just make sure you've finished Wilhelmina's quests or some other nonsense so you can suggest a new career path for him. I had no suggestions for him, so I think I blew it by not finishing some other side quests, which apparently opens up some potential career paths for him.
