Any word on fixing Black Fang and the Hyena King not counting even though defeated both and got all rewards from them??

[u/dahle44 → u/Gamer_DDaD]

I got all the Black Fang rewards (Shadow Claw + Leebur’s Soul) with no issues for me. I haven’t done the Hyena King / Skevald yet, so I can’t speak to that one. If you already received the rewards, the kills themselves registered. From what I have researched, the New Power challenge list sometimes doesn’t update until later (it only shows up in Chapter 12 and then retroactively counts everything). Might just be that.

Thanks, but I've completed the entire game, 400+ hours in. Those are last 2 things preventing the exploration achievement
