Cullen Missing in Skyhold; Need for Perseverance Quest

The guy who says he's meeting with Cassandra is there, but I can't talk to him to activate the part of the quest where I look for Cullen.

I went to the blacksmith to see if it would trigger there but it didn't.

Have tried reloading saves, leaving Skyhold and coming back, and reloading earlier saves in case another quest blocked this one off.

    I was just wondering if he legit disappeares or if my game is bugged. Looks like both.

    Hope it gets patched soon!

    Question: Did this happen after you pranked him with Sera?

    Got the same issue as well, AFTER Sera's prank. It seems its a widespread bug.

    70 hours into the game, Cullen disappeared on me too. Was playing the pranks with Sera and when I came back to hand in the results of the Before the Dawn quest, no more Cullen in Skyhold. Awesome...

  • I'm in the same boat... FFS, buggy... and you can't turn Before the Dawn in after you start What Pride had Wrought ☹️. Hope they get a fix for this SOON.

    I just created a topic for this exact issue. I was hoping to get a reply from EA or whatever but your post is dated 24/11 so most likely they'll ignore my topic too. I'm pretty frustrated right now and dont want to go back like 20+ hours gameplay just for a common bug.

  • Okay, lol he's not actually gone and it's not a bug. When you go speak to Cassandra and nothing comes up about cullen, it's because you don't suppose to actually tak to her (Yeah, I know kind of through me in a loop too), you need to go to the Inn on her right. There should be an yellow/grey exclanmation mark in the building on her right (By the staircase and not the 'fast travel'). Once you go in, a cutscene will open and you'll see Cullen and Cassandra arguing [Spoiler]. After that little debate, Cassandra will tell you to talk to him, opening another quest called 'Perseverance'. Now you can return to where he is origanially designated and a cutscene will open with him throwing a box of lyrium at the door as you enter, towards to end of the conversation you have 4 choices, leading to 2 decisions. Which is him starting to take lyrium again or not (Which is mainly dependent on if you chose to side with the templars and not the mages). After the cutscene finishes, you'll complete the quest and boom, he's back lol.

    Jay - you're wrong.

    Cullen being traped in purgatory due to the Sera pranking quest blocking the messenger flag script is a known bug.

    Outside of reloading prior to pranks to trip the flag, there is no legitimate way to reset Cullen currently (unless someone wants to share the command code).

    I have a broken dialogue option on this very section. It won't allow me to select any dialogue options on the wheel. I was wondering if anytime has a suggestion.
