Hey everyone,

My friend is having a game-breaking issue with the revamped Balenos main questline and we are completely stuck.

He was at the very beginning of the "Balenos: The Start of an Adventure" questline. He felt like the game was making him redo a quest he had already completed, so he decided to forfeit (abandon) the quest to restart it and fix the track.

Now he is trapped in a loop:

• The Quest Log (O) shows the quest line, but clicking the navigation/autopath button just opens the Black Spirit.
• The Black Spirit has absolutely no quests available under the Quest tab.
• We checked all quest filters at the bottom of the O-menu (all filters are turned ON/active).
• Edan is visible in the world, but speaking to him does nothing—he does not offer the quest back.
• He tried switching channels, restarting the game, and checking the Black Spirit's "Chat" option, but nothing updates the quest status.

It seems like the character is stuck out of phase or the database thinks the quest is still active/completed while the UI says it's forfeited.

Short of deleting the character, is there any known fix for this specific Balenos softlock? Any help would be highly appreciated!
