He was one of our Target on our Bounty Hunt 3. Found him today at the water near Applenook Hamlet Waypoint. Pulled him out of the Barrel and a message popped up in my chat “(drinking)” and then sotzz said congratulations. I tried to talk to him like 5- 10 sec. later but he despawned directly. We were unable to find him again.
There still seem to be issues with this bounty target. If you find him on your hunt, activate him immediately, do not hesitate.
