A Pirates Life Tall Tale - Cannot dig up Dougie

  • No matter which order I try to do the events leading up to digging up Dougie, my shovel always catches air. I reset the tall tale three times over but nothing I tried let me dig up the boney boy, I feel like I must be missing something somehow even though I've tried following multiple guides. I can't get all the commendations as it stands please help or fix this!

  • @hoozuki-sama I thought it was only myself, it took me 2 days trying to figure out what I did wrong. Such a relief to see other captain shouting out.

  • @hoozuki-sama Had the same. It's a bug. I already filed a report for it, let's hope it's fixed soon.

  • Same here, i cant dig him up no matter what i try, ive reset twice

  • Same, ironically, starting A Pirate's Life popped my LeChuck achievements that've been buggimg for people aswell, only to get to Dougie and dig at thin air, tried different spade, alt f4'd and rejoined, used statue back to checkpoint, still no Dougie, reloaded and went through the caverns again and did everything upto dropping the cage, still no Dougie.

    I've only just started playing this game and I'm severely disappointed from such a big brand name. Had issues in all the Monkey Island tales.

  • Me too, the same story, 3 time the same story in all the orders but nothing, dig up air not dougie

  • I'm having the same issue has anyone figured out a solution yet?

  • Partner and I having the same issue, Dougie is buggy and cannot be dug up

  • make a ticket if you haven't already

  • Having the same issue. Tried it with 4 friends, none of us could dig. then we all 4 tried doing it solo to see if that fixed it, and then tried 3 more times adjusting the order we did things based on different guides. no luck. I submitted a ticket but if anyone figures out a work around I'd love to hear it.

  • I have the Same problem

  • Just tried again... still bugged.

  • This is happening to me too. The shovel just acts like I cant dig in that spot

  • Aye, still happening, reported it so we shall see.

    Hello dear pirate!

    I've already opened a ticket for this problem... now I just wait for them to resolve it.

    Ahoy

  • Same problem here.

  • this is still bugged. just submitted a ticket myself.

  • Same. Has anyone found a solution?

  • Same here I spent the last 2 hours trying every guid I could find, but no hope there is a empty grave no digging no Dougie, this was my first tall tale and the last one i'm done.
    So disappointing

  • Not working for me either, I tried restarting the tale but same result.

  • My friend and I both cannot dig up Dougie. Could you please fix this tall tale!!! We would love to complete 100%!!

  • This was my first story that I decided to go through completely. Every day I become more and more disappointed in this game. It's not worth the money...

  • @the-guardian-gg Don't give up just because of this one bug. I love the stories in the tall tales this is the first bug I've come across and I'm sure they will fix it. you can still finish that tall tale without Dougie, he's just part of the commendation. skip him for now and go to the light house and finish the tall tale so you can unlock the next one. it's a cool story. Happy sailing!

  • there is no way to did up Dougie at this point of the game, i´ve tried it 2 hours in every constallation. if you find this, go for the next commendation

    good luck Pirats

  • @era2361 my guy you can still complete the tall tale or just do one of the other 19 available. Just give it some time get patched. Plenty of other activities to occupy yourself with in the meantime :)

  • @ummekasten thats the big issue and why this bug is way worse than others, the commendations you get before reuniting the captain with his body have to be done in order.

  • ive got the same problem, i once dug the body up when the talltale came out but now i just cant.

  • Ahoy Sailers/ Pirates!

    I received this message about my support ticket i put in last night:

    So, theres that. known issue. etc. (PS i'm on Xbox.)

    "Sea" you out there! EBW

  • @evil-bat-witch Yeah....

    I received a response regarding my ticket (568725) that the team is currently working on other fixes and this one has been added to their queue for the "near future". So we just have to wait for them to fix it.

  • I just tried it 10/26 5:38 EST it is still broke. Sadly the bugs in the game are getting out of control. I fear Rare is over their head at this point.
    No diggy, no dougie, no doubt.

  • Rare PLEASE fix this or at least remove Dougie so we can continue commendation grinding

  • same issue I can't dig to get dougie :(

  • Same here, couldn't dig Dougie up.

  • Yeah it’s kind of unfortunate, been trying about every couple days or so but the result is the same. Hopefully it’s fixed soon.
