Powerhouse of the Cell Quest - Bugged

[jamfraser]

I got to the point in the Powerhouse of the Cell quest where I have spoken to Hilda, and collected the sample from the plant. The current quest objective is "Clear the Lost from the Area".

I had to exit the game at that point for RL reasons.

However, when I logged back in to continue, the quest marker is completely missing and I cannot seem to progress any further. I have killed all the Lost I can find, and I have searched the currently accessible parts of the facility thoroughly. The Human Biology wing (?) is locked, as I don't have the keycard to open it yet. I can get back into Hilda's office, but she won't speak to me any more, and doesn't react when I attempt to interact with her.

I have tried fast travelling away and returning, as well as logging out of the game completely and re-attempting. The result is the same - there seems to be no way to progress from this point.

Has anyone else encountered this or found a workaround? I was really enjoying the new expansion up until I hit this wall.

Точно такая же проблема

I didn't have trouble with this specific part of the quest, but on an earlier one I cleared the enemies too quickly and some of the story-related enemies didn't get to initiate their emotes and conversations, so the quest hung. Might be worth stealthing in the area for a bit before you start wiping them out.

Yup its bugged for me as well. No quest marker and after killing everything nothing changes

[rangermonk]

I have the same problem. I tried logging out and coming back. Kill all the Lost, but can't make the serum and the quest is stuck at "Clear Lost from area".

Had the same issue today, i gone to the main menu, back into game... fought trough all the cave and vault again to the room. Worked for me.

But i sometimes think about the quality control at bethesda. Then i remember... ther probably is none.

Tengo el mismo problema, tengo la planta, pero Hilda no habla y no se pueden abrir las puertas

I have the same problem. Contacted Bethesda support, here's what they said:

If you get stuck on one of the steps of "Clear out the lost..." make sure you don't kill the Lost Champion(s) before it stands up as this will prevent the quest from progressing. If you do kill it before this point and the quest doesn't progress, you will need to exit the instance/room and come back in and redo the fights.

Going to try that now.

Thought I'd post the solution here.

I had support reset the quest, which allowed me to start over. Was able to finish it this time.

The problem is that there are 3 Lost that spawn in the corridor in front of the lab. These are the ones the objective refers to. In our case they never spawn, blocking you from progressing.

I am stuck at the same exact point. And I contacted support, getting the same reply as in your first post, without them resetting the quest for me. I will try again.

If you see this, could you confirm this is the room with the three Lost I am supposed to clear out? They simply do not spawn for me. I've three Lost spawn there in other Lets play videos.

Here's a walkthrough video confirming there should be three Lost spawning in that room: https://youtu.be/0QCmZLVx6aA&t=1241
