The Swamp’s Protection Bug in Diablo 4 – How To Fix

Hey there, fellow gamers! If you’re here, you’re probably as hooked on Diablo 4 as I am. But, like me, you might have run into a pesky little bug known as The Swamp’s Protection bug. It’s been a thorn in the side of many players, myself included, and I’m here to share some tips on how to squash it. So, grab your gaming chair, and let’s dive in!

Diablo 4 The Swamp’s Protection Bug

The Swamp’s Protection bug is a glitch that’s been frustrating players trying to finish the ‘Find the Bandit Camp‘ objective. In this questline, you’re meant to locate a particular camp located in Exile’s Heap, close to where Raldin is located. But, upon finding the camp, it’s empty. There are several objects you can interact with for some exposition, but without any enemies spawning, it’s impossible to complete the quest.

I remember the first time I encountered this bug, I was so confused. I thought, “Did I do something wrong? Did I miss a step?” But no, it’s just a bug.

How to Fix Diablo 4 The Swamp’s Protection Bug

Now, onto the good stuff. How do we fix this? Here are some methods that have worked for me and other players:

1. Complete a Different Quest: This might sound counterintuitive, but sometimes, picking a different side quest or main mission to complete first can help. After finishing it, you can head back to the bandit camp, and there’s a chance that this will reset the quest enough that the enemies will finally appear. It’s like giving the game a little nudge to say, “Hey, remember this quest?”
   
2. Finish a Dungeon: Similar to the previous solution, you can also find a nearby dungeon and complete it all the way through. Doing so may make the bandits spawn in the camp. I tried this once, and when I came back to the camp, lo and behold, the bandits were there!

While a common solution to many Diablo 4 bugs is to leave the game and log back in, this workaround hasn’t had much success with The Swamp’s Protection bug. There is a small chance that relogging might work if you wait for about five to ten minutes before leaving the game. But, in my experience, the first two methods have been more reliable.

Awaiting a Fix

Sadly, there are numerous glitches in the game that are preventing progress through multiple quests and dungeons. We all hope Blizzard is able to provide a patch or a hotfix that will solve this particular bug. But, in the grand scheme of things, it’s a relatively minor problem compared to more severe glitches in the main campaign and the Cathedral of Light capstone dungeon.

Conclusion

So, there you have it, folks! Those are my tips on how to fix The Swamp’s Protection bug in Diablo 4. Remember, every game has its quirks, and part of the fun is figuring out how to overcome them. I hope these tips help you out, and happy gaming!
