DjObscura:
My character fell through the ground and is somehow stuck in the atmosphere... no dirt, buildings, no people. I see moon, rain and atmospheric fog. I thought "Am I dead?" Nope. I'm still collecting cash whilst in this perpetual vaulting position.

After the second time of trying to get the damn kid to follow me up the ladder. I went to what sounds like the same place you did. Especially the end result of falling through the ground and getting stuck with only two options: first, collect gold. Second, shut off and restart the game. Neat!

Here's my problem. I start the question but when I go to Bowerstone Market my gold trail disappears. I live right near the stylist. Well I've tried going through hobbes cave, didn't find my son nor did it help me find a path to find my husband. Tried another quest and still can't find my husband. I've tried turning my game off and turning back on but nothing. I even tried sleeping for a week, I found my husband but he didn't have the ring over his head but acted like we were still married. I turned the game off and am now back at square one. I've been doing this for hours. PLEASE someone tell me what I should do or how to fix this. Please. Please. Please.

In my case, The Rescue went fine first time I did it on a female character married to Andy(I think that is his/her name, the one you can marry though the quest from the ghost), and I had no glitch and was living in Fairfax Castle, but the second time I did it with a Male character, married to Lady Grey and living in the castle, all went well up until I completed the quest. Now when I go home to see my characters wife, the gold trail leads me into a wall in the Fairfax Garden.

Ugh, yeah, I get a glitch there too. When I got the glitch, I was in the process of moving my family to another home. My kid and husband were following me. Then I get the quest, accept, and I can't take the father off follow. So every time I go to the cave, he ends up getting killed. Then it says my kid's gunna be taken away. Only thing is, she never is. I get out of the cave fine, but then she just stands in the corner in the building that you appear out of. The father's dead, so he isn't waiting. I've retried four times, but it always happens the same way. And when I reset it, it goes to right after I'd accepted the quest. So my husband's on follow every. Single. Time. x_x

I found something interesting about this, I was checking my log book and it stated that I had been widowed once. I am thinking that my missing spouse died, it was logged in the log book but the game failed to recognize this.

When I remarried the game generated a double for the bigamest, but it did not fully recognize him as my spouse. I took the double out and had him killed. Seems to have fixed the problem, but the quest hasn't been offered since.

yeah, i've ended up getting to the quest on about 7 different games i've done, and the same thing always happens.

i get the rescue quest on my list, and in this case it will fast travel me to fairfax gardens. instead of there being a gold trail that leads to nowhere as i've seen many other people say on this, there is NO trail at all. my wife's status is happy (it better be, her upkeep is 10k daily), but both her and my son are gone.

maybe if i reset my marital home to something other than the castle...? i'm at a serious loss, i hate this quest! ='(

Winobie:
I have messed up my game save thanks to this buggy quest.

Upon saving my kid from the Hobbe Cave she would not follow up the ladder to Rookridge,
the quest still told me to escape the cave!
I have since killed the wife, the quest has vanished and I have saved the game.

Still though I am unable to fast travel at all, I get the "your child will be killed by the horrible hobbes" message, cancel or reload old save (old save now being more recent than wifes death)

Well, its pretty much unplayable unless I want to run everywhere now.
Such a shame as I had 5 Gargoyles to go and some other Achievements within my grasp.
I hope it can be fixed by a patch but not holding my breath.

Oh well, Gears of War 2 is very soon.

this same thing happened to be and i don't know what to do!! help('');

i just have to say that i killed my wife and then got the quest i couldnt even be bothered anymore i'd explored hobbe cave time and time again i looked everywhere and just gave up. i was leaving my family anyway (i was to to stay tied back by a family) so i just moved on, started my empire of houses and just all round completed the game.

Since, I never found my spouse I gave up on the quest and went and found another spouse.

The game offered the bigamest quest, and my spouse showed back up without a wedding ring over his head. Calling himself my hubby. We have since had another child. Our son is still in the Hobbe Cave, but when restarting the quest my spouse doesn't acknoledge the quest at all and the bread crumb trail doesn't show up.

CopperPhoenix:
I finally got my child to safety. The trick is NOT to tell her to follow you. She will follow on her own. Once I got topside her mother was there to pick her up. Finally got threw it!!!

I tried doing as CopperPhoenix suggested [after 2 failed previous attempts] and guess what? Yep - it works a treat! Don't use the follow expression on your offspring and they'll auto follow you out of the cave AND up the ladder to Rookridge where your spouse will be waiting for the safe return of ur child.

I recon you should kill the double but it might cause both to die and what happened about the rescue ?
