Moddock Crevice bonus bug

I've hit this bug twice in a row today and am getting really frustrated. I take both runners out, the pop-up says I've completed 4 of 4 suggestions, and then no matter whether I keep running straight ahead or go back to the wall a new pop-up appears and decreases the suggestion count to 3 of 4. WTF?

Both runners down, no corsairs, why is this happening? Is one runner getting too far ahead even if I kill him?

Dunkoro's suggestion #1: "I don't like the look of this passage. There are no tracks going in or out. It looks like the corsairs avoid it completely. Perhaps we should learn from them and not travel that way."

Dunkoro will say this when you reach the bottom of the northeastern exit from the watery cavern. This part will fail if you kill any boss on the northeastern path. Credit will be given when you trigger Dunkoro's fourth suggestion, but can be lost after that if you subsequently go kill an insect boss. You may need to reach the bottom of the path to trigger Dunkoro's dialogue in order to get credit.

Did you do this?

This entire mission is one of the biggest pains to complete. The bonus is not hard it's just a pain because of the exact type of problems you are having. It's probably not bugged, just being the typical pain in the ass. Keep trying you'll get it eventually.

You actually don't even need to trigger Dunkuro's first suggestion to complete the bonus (unless they changed it since I last did it). Simply head left towards the waterfall after you kill the corsairs at the beginning, then send someone to the base of the uphill path to trigger his 2nd suggestion.

The numbering messages have always been 'bugged' in that sense, prob due to that (lots of threads on this when NF came out). As long as you kill the 2 runners in time, you should get credit for bonus when the mission ends, despite what the messages say.

I found this on wiki:

Bug.Even though you follow all instructions perfectly for the bonus, it may only register three as being completed, meaning you will need to restart the mission if you want the bonus

Check it out here , its at the bottom of the page:

If you are running this alone its a pain in the @ss.

@citizen: I'd seen the mention of the bug in the (official) wiki and that is what I was referring to when I started this post. Thanks though.

@free: I tested this the second time the suggestion counter went backwards to 3 of 4 and I definitely did not get the master's reward, even though I took out the runners in time.

@lord: I am triggering Dunkoro's first suggestion, so I don't think that's an issue. I definitely killed the insect boss when I went back to the wall since he walks by there. Don't remember if I killed him when I didn't stick to the wall... I'll have to focus on that next time, thanks (just saw that the official wiki is missing some of the bug information for this quest that is in the wikia version).

EDIT: Just got the master's reward. You have to keep running ahead in the direction the runner goes. Going back to the right and killing anything = fail. Thank you this can be closed.
