Mance told me to hunt down the crow patrol. I see a Ranger patrol and a Castle Black patrol. Neither seem to satisfy the requirement of this quest as Mance says something along the lines of: I see you haven't destroyed the crow patrol yet. Normally quest bands appear to have their name in a unique color, like the one in the brotherhood quest, but I waited for weeks and never came across them (even checked with cheats and never saw the Crow patrol).
As a follow-up, is it possible to not be a wildling to start the game and be able to get Wun-Wun and Dongo via this quest? Same question goes for the North and the direwolf if you join Robb.
It was a thing to joining the Free Folk. I did back with cheatmenu cuz it was impossible.
If you choose culture of Free Falk at the beginning there is a Giant Cave northwest of the Free Folk Camp in the trees. If you can clear the Cave they'll join you.
Same goes with direwolf, pick northern culture, go south of Deepwood Motte. There is a Wolf Cave.
