PixARK: Terracrypt's 'A Deadly Threat' quest is stuck until Aug 28 fix

PixARK: Terracrypt players who reach the main quest "A Deadly Threat" may find themselves unable to turn it in: NPC Zora can fail to spawn at the objective location. The team has identified the issue and scheduled a server and client update for Aug 27–28, 2026, after which the quest should be completable normally.

The bug only blocks submission of "A Deadly Threat." It won't damage save data and won't block overall game progression. Explorers who haven't reached this quest yet can continue playing normally. Those already stuck should temporarily skip it: taming creatures, developing technology, building bases, and exploring the underground world are all unaffected. Once the fix is live, players can return and finish the quest as usual.

The update arrives during a one-hour maintenance window:

• PDT: Aug 27, 7:00–8:00 PM
• EDT: Aug 27, 10:00–11:00 PM
• UTC: Aug 28, 2:00–3:00 AM
• Beijing Time: Aug 28, 10:00–11:00 AM

Both server and client will be updated, making "A Deadly Threat" available to complete again.
