Quest to kill Roc, except turns out he's a zombie and vanished when I tried to kill him. Any way to complete this quest or can I not get any more quests from that civ?

[Spish]

Just tell them you killed it. Everything will be fine.

[Philosoraptor]

But it's on the other side of a large world and I have below average creativity and social awareness... If they don't believe me, no way am I walking across the freaking world again.

[iyaerP]

In the current version, zombies poof into thin air rather than leaving behind a corpse.

[Urk]

While in the travel view, select "shift+Q" and then "t"asks, if task is done it says "Report death of xxxxxx".

I think that you can report it to anyone who talks to you, so you may not need to get back to original quest giver.

[Philosoraptor]

What I'm saying is the Roc vanished during the fight and the quest is left uncompleted with no way to complete it.

[Tlc2011]

Undeads come back after a while.

Just make sure you don't die during that timelapse.

Undeads have a HP system, so it'll die eventually

[Philosoraptor]

Do you know the approx. time it takes? And does it just reappear at its lair?

[Spish]

Just tell someone you killed it. You'll get the recognition regardless of whether or not it says the task is completed.

And no, Undead units do NOT come back.

[Philosoraptor]

So confused 

The thing is I can't tell someone I killed it because it isn't dead. There is no kill credit in the kill list and the quest is still active.

[Spish]

It is dead.

[imperium3]

It is dead.

If the quest's still active, no, it's not

[Cocoprimate]

And no, Undead units do NOT come back.

Yes they do come back, if they vanished. I was sent to kill a dragon, turned out to be a zombie dragon, hacked its tail off, and it vanished. You can claim the quest, but no the kill, it won't appear neither in your weapon nor in legends.

Then, I retired that adventurer, and while playing a fort, the zombie dragon appeared again. I abandoned the fort and went to kill it with the same adventurer, and it vanished again (vanishing appears to be triggered when you amputate a body part). Again, no kill credit. And in legends, if you check the beast's history, a "in year 1053, Dragon Dragongem the Heat of Dragons vanished in the Happy Hills" appears.

It is dead.

If it vanished, it's not. You can kill them, I know, because I remember killing zombie yetis in some glacier, and getting kill credit. But it seems to be based on the zombie's HP. I spent a good 30 minutes doing stab attacks on the dragon with care not to cut off anything, but it didn't die. I guess fully grown dragons have completely crazy undead HP.

Hammer it in the brain pan. Should work on just about anything.

[celem]

Anything that is normally a one-shot will score credit and leave a corpse.  Cut it in half, hit the brain.  Reducing it to 0 HP wont. (It goes poof until Toady finishes the current undead stuff)
