Blaidd stopped howling but he didn’t speak to me

I've spent way too much time trying to speak to Blaidd. I'm brand new to the game and I've probably spent over an hour on this off and on. He's marked on my map on the ruins and I did hear him howl at first. Went at night and snapped and never saw him even though the howling stopped. Is this a bug or did something progress and now I'm locked of meeting him at the ruins?
