Kunesh is not in Skalitz

I started a new hardcore playline a few days ago, and Kunesh seems to be somewhere in Rattay even though I am in the prologue. I spent a few hours leveling up my skills by killing some of the animals and choking out the villagers. Finished that, but now Kunesh is nowhere to be found. I have the charcoal, but I can’t get ale from Bianca since I “should go see Kunesh”. I tried everything from this thread Kunesh doesn't exist but none of it works. I really don’t feel like making a new playline because of this. I also emailed the KCD Support about this. Any advice?

at this Time in the game, two Kuneshs exist simultanously (there is a vid by SexyBuisquet that shows Rattay at the time befor the sack of Skalitz). I fount Skalitz´Kunesh wandering around in Skalitz also, maybe he is somewhere around and not shown with a marker…
