Sutherland and Company Missing: Immortal Darkspawn

Ok I just got to the part in the Sutherland operation quest chain where I have to go to the Storm Coast and rescue Sutherland and his friends. easy right? So I go there and find him and his group fighting 3 or 4 darkspawn and  a ghoul. All lvl 11. I'm lvl 18 with pretty good gear so I should have no trouble here. Problem is that none of the darkspawn are taking any damage whatsoever. No numbers are flying to indicate damage and their health bars at the top of the screen are not being affect either. They are being affected by the ability effects, i.e. freeze, sunder, sleep, etc., but not the damage. So I end up with a situation where these low level darkspawn are crushing me because I can't do anything to them to kill them. I have tried reloading to an earlier save and it did not fix it. I have tested combat against other things and I am able to do damage to them (tested against another group of darkspawn encountered on the way to this quest location actually). Is there a way to fix this or is my quest completely bugged out? I am playing on the PC version if that is at all helpful.

  • Yeah I am having the same issue can't hurt the darkspawn and they aren't hurting me, reloading doesn't help and I can kill other mobs just fine.

  • Okay managed to find  a fix for this that worked for me at least. After finding them go away far enough that they are no longer being active in your game I just walked down the hill fought a mibari at the bottom them came back and I could hurt the darkspawn so finished it up.

  • I came back to check if your solution would work and randomly I was able to damage them again. don't know what the actual problem preventing me from damaging them but it seems to have solved itself.

    I had the same troubles.

    Walking away from the fight and coming back after a few seconds as mentioned by Sternguard solved the issue for me (PC). Thanks for the hint.

    I can confirm this bug on PC. Very annoying.

    I don't want to walk away and come back to solve this problem, for roleplaying reason (leaving guys who need help in a middle of a fight ? No way !).

    So I found another workaround : if you cast Mark of the Rift on the "immortal" Darkspawn, it will destroy them. A little overkill I know, but it works !

    Thanks, the workaround did work for me. Must be a parting gift from the latest patch because I can guarantee it wasn't bugged before.

    No darkspawn, but I've already found twice a group of enemies (both times Mages and their sellswords in the Hinterlands) who were immune to damage after receiving some in the middle of a battle. Had to flee both times and make them despawn to fix it.

    Same bug happened to me, it also happened once before when I had to defend crossroads in hinterlands.

  • Had the same problem on XBox but the Mark idea worked beautifully. I didn't even have time to start any other attacks before they were all dead.
