Co-op quest issue

Beast in the Sand Trail Invisible

Current answer

The sand visual-effect trail is a confirmed issue for client players. If possible, have the host identify the trail and guide the group while affected clients follow the quest objective and host position.

Practical co-op workaround

  1. Confirm whether the host can see the sand trail.
  2. Let the host lead rather than splitting the group.
  3. Stay within the intended quest area and avoid treating missing VFX as a failed trigger.
  4. Update all clients and the server before the next attempt.

Why this differs from quicksand

This problem concerns a quest guidance effect, not the general quicksand hazard. A missing trail can hide where the quest wants the party to go, while quicksand remains a world traversal danger with its own visual and movement behavior.
