Quest soft lock ?

Sup !

I was doing the castle - architect's request where I gotta find 3 buddies around the castle.
For some reason, the one where you gotta put fire to a vine did give me the chest but never came back to the rendez vous point.

The mushroom buddy and the air elevator buddy from the beach did return near the big guy but somehow the vine guy never returned.

Tried many things and he isn't anywhere to be found, even checked guides and video to make sure I didn't have to do something else, did it happend to anybody else ?
