Bucket with water near the ship.

Thanks for that, apparently I've missed it completely.

I believe I may have run into another plot critical bug. I see a bucket full of water on the dock but I receive no prompts to pick it up whatsoever. is that normal?

Many thanks to Seith for fixing this one so quickly.

I have the same problem.... i see the bucket but i get no prompt. How is this fixed? Or is the bucket near the stairs the wrong one?

You email your save game to support@ghostofatale.com with a description of the issue and they fix it manually. The process is described in a sticky post, I believe. That is the exact same bucket that you need.

Thx!

I have the same problem.

The water is bugged.

Old post but this was my experience:

Got the water quest, went to get the water in a Rangers suit which at the time I thought was a fast travel option around guards. While holding the water i got busted from the guard right by the bucket so he zapped me to the cell, with the water bucket and for some stupid reason the game autosaved. The bucket is now with me in the cell. My last Autosave was 44mins earlier and reloading the game changed nothing.....so I had no choice but to walk the bucket all the way back through to the elevator in the Catacombs only to find.....YOU CANT DROP THE BUCKET IN THE ELEVATOR so you can pull down on the rope to lower it :(
So now after 15mins of nice slow walking through the fort I now have to load the old 44min + 15min old save and waste an hour of gameplay!

Just out of curiosity, but I guess you could still have brought it down there via northern slopes and shore shortcuts it would propably have taken more time than replaying the 45 Minutes you lost, but it technically should be possible. Well, this definitly shows how important it is to not just use the autosave function.

Hmm i never thought of that. All good though I ended up just grabbing the old save and re-did it all. But yes definately worth saving more often which I try to do now lol. I suppose I was lucky I had that save it couldve been a whole lot worse if I just relied on Autosave.

I come from the future and I would just like to complain about this awful quest - it's such a simple thing, just fetch an item that's few meters away, right? Well, wrong, because of course I didn't see it the first, the second, the fifth time I came across it, and even when I saw it, I've just assumed it's one of the buckets you otherwise can use to stand on!

I like this game, but god, there are some shockingly amateurish issues with the design at times. This reminds me of pixel hunting in the old 2D adventure games from the nineties.

Bucket is up against the wall and doesnt light up under Red Mist.

Well, I don´t have that upgrade so, for me he´s right xD. I´m playing this and the harbour door bug is still not fixed.
The game is very beautiful and all that but come on, a 7 years bug?
