Many players run into a bug where Savlian Matius won’t move the quest forward he just keeps shouting “Charge the Courtyard!” while standing still with the guards. There’s a simple workaround that’ll get things back on track so you can continue your journey through Kvatch and beyond. Here’s how to fix it.
Fix Savlian Matius “Charge the Courtyard” Bug
If you’re stuck on The Battle for Castle Kvatch quest, you’re not alone. After helping the Kvatch guard clear the courtyard, your quest marker points you to Savlian Matius but when you try talking to him, all he does is shout, “Charge the Courtyard! Leave none of them standing!” Then he just stands there with the other guards, and the quest won’t progress no matter what you do.
How to Fix the Savlian Matius Bug
Here’s what you need to do to get things moving again: head into the castle on your own and take out any remaining scamps. Keep going until you find the Count. Grab his signet ring, then head back to Savlian Matius. Once you give him the ring, the quest should continue normally from there.
