Leading Ignatius the Ram up the hill sounds simple enough, but many players have run into issues where he either refuses to follow or wanders off after dropping the carrot. If you’re stuck trying to get this stubborn ram to cooperate, here’s how to fix the problem if he won’t follow and move on with the quest.
1. Make Sure You Have the Carrot
Ignatius follows you because of the carrot the shepherd gave you. If you ate it, used it elsewhere, or lost it, he won’t respond.
What to do:
If you lost the carrot, try reloading an earlier save before you received it.
The shepherd does not give another carrot, so if it’s gone, you may need to restart the quest.
2. Don’t Sprint or Move Too Fast
Ignatius does not follow at full speed. If you run too far ahead, he may stop moving or wander off.
What to do:
Walk forward 10-20 yards, then stop and turn around.
Wait for Ignatius to catch up, then continue.
If he stops following, go back to him and let him reset before trying again.
3. Drop the Carrot Correctly
Some players report that Ignatius ignores the carrot if it isn’t dropped properly.
What to do:
Walk near the Y-shaped tree where the quest tells you to stop.
Open your inventory, select the carrot, and drop it manually.
Hold the drop button instead of tapping it—tapping may place it in your horse’s inventory instead.
Wait for the quest marker to update before moving to the hiding spot.
4. Check for Quest Prompts
Sometimes, even if you place Ignatius correctly, the game doesn’t recognize it.
What to do:
Walk around near the tree until Henry automatically mentions dropping the carrot.
Make sure the “Wait for Wolves” prompt appears before hiding.
If the quest doesn’t progress, try reloading a save and repeating the steps.
5. If Ignatius Disappears or Wanders Off
Some players report Ignatius vanishing or running away after dropping the carrot.
What to do:
If he runs off, try reloading an earlier save and leading him up the hill again.
If he disappears entirely, check back at the shepherd’s pen—some players have found him respawning there.
If he won’t follow at all, reloading the game or restarting the quest may be necessary.
Final Thoughts
If Ignatius won’t follow, it’s usually because the carrot is missing, the game hasn’t registered the quest steps, or you’re moving too fast. Walk slowly, make sure to drop the carrot properly, and look for quest prompts before hiding. If none of that works, reloading an earlier save is your best option.
If Ignatius is still refusing to cooperate, then congratulations—you’ve met the most stubborn ram in Bohemia.
