When taking the quest from the tavern in Falkreath the objective 'Locate Valdr's Hunting Party' will not ever complete, all through the quest you will see this objective in your journal and on the map even though other objectives come and go on-screen.

You may notice that Valdr, upon finding him - will jump further into the conversation than he should - I believe this is the cause of the lingering objective.

When stumbling across Valdr without taking the quest elsewhere, this [locate...] objective is never activated and thus does not affect your progression through the quest.

(The mountains are quite distinct where Valdr is located, if you must take the quest from the tavern and memorise roughly where the objective marker is, reload your game and set a custom)

If you have gotten this farthen you must offer Valdr some kind of healing. I advise Healing Hands or a similar spell. If you have to give him a potion, give him a standard NON-ALCHEMY minor healing potion or similar.

If you give him an alchemic, regen or otherwise unconventional healing potion it may not work or Valdr may stop working correctly. If this happens you should be able to use a healing spell on him and the quest will be put back on track.

Beyond this I have found no issues with the quest, everything I've written here I have personally checked at least 2 times.

I hope this brings an end to everyone's problems.
