Graveyard Keeper 2 NPC Jack Missing
Two separate Jack bugs were patched in 1.010. One of them is still listed as a console known issue — so the platform matters.
The two bugs that were fixed
- Bronze tools hand-in — 1.010: “Fixed Jack missing when submitting the bronze tools.”
- Village Boat event — 1.010: “Fixed NPC Jack missing from the Twins' land near the boat during the Village Boat event.”
Check your platform before you reload
The official tinyBuild “Known issues” article still lists “NPC Jack is missing from the Twins' land near the boat” under [Consoles]. In practice: the PC build received the fix in 1.010, while the console builds are called out as still affected on that support page. If you are on console, updating may not resolve that specific case yet.
What to do
- Note which Jack case you hit: bronze tools hand-in, or the boat event at the Twins' land.
- Check the build number and platform — 1.010 carries both fixes on PC.
- If the NPC is still absent on the current build, reload a save from before the event and report it in-game (1.006+) with the event name.
Why this is not a quest gate
A missing NPC gives no prompt and no requirement line, unlike a quest that is merely locked. If the Quests tab shows an unmet requirement, treat that first — it is a different situation from the Jack bugs above.
FAQ
Common questions about this topic.
Where did Jack go after I submitted the bronze tools?
That was a bug fixed in 1.010. Update and reload a save from before the hand-in if the NPC is still missing.
Is Jack still missing near the boat on console?
The official tinyBuild known-issues page still lists the boat case under [Consoles], so the fix may not have reached every platform.
