NPC Spawn Issue: Thistle Underbrush

[Daveystany]

Ive camped Thistle probably 50 times and know the camp and placeholder well, but i cannot find the placeholder nor does it path by where it should, perhaps it was changed with Velious or the placeholder is stuck somewhere but something is up because i must of spent 4 hours looking for the placeholder and killing every "a faerie maiden" i could find and gating back to spawn location and nothing spawned there.
