Vova Amalgam Quest. How I fixed it

[o0Dread0o]

The side quest to help Vova Amalgam out of the anomaly field can bug out if an emission hits and you are close to where he is stuck. This happened to me, I reloaded the game to before the emission hit and the quest ran perfectly.

I found an artifact in the electric field but it's called Sparkler. I read that there is an artifact in this electric field called Rat King. What gives?

As far as I can tell, you get the "Rat King" from completing the quest, which many of us are unable to do on account of it commonly bugging out and resulting in our boy Vova just screaming his "I'm following you" command over and over

Late to the party: I explored a lot of the map before even reaching Richter on that crane in the Garbage. Later on, after unveiling a lot of the SW area of the map, I eventually found Vova in that Electric Field. I don't know how many emissions I've hit before getting there, 4 or 5, so I don't think it's related to that. Similar to what's been explained, Vova yells after him, tells me his 3-4 lines of dialogue, I reach him and he only goes "Come on, lead the way. I know we can do it!". If I leave the area and head into the building nearby with the code, when I return to him, he's dead near that spool he was sitting one (as if one of the electric anomalies hit him and he fell to the ground). I can only loot him and bye bye. Trying to see with noclip if I can spot what happens to him :)) Will be back with feedback.

EDIT: Here's the video of what's going on -> streamable[dot]com/9bqojl

Vova Amalgam Quest was bugged for me as well. In the usual way, that I couldn't interact with him.
And no recent emission was involved.
I left him on his box and went into the building nearby.
There as a keypad but the door next to it was open already(?)
When I left the building Vova was dead and he had no artifact on him.

The thing is, that I found this Rat King artifact within the anomaly, before I reached Vova the fist time.
Is the Rat King artifact unique?
Maybe the quest can't be triggered in case the Rat King artifact has accidentally spawned in the anomaly ??

I just left his dumb arse.....maybe next time he'll remember to bring Bolts :Shrug

LOL - In mine he bugged out and stayed there not moving, I had places to go and Bloodsuckers to run from, so I left

The artifact is not unique.

Can you please share the console command that helped you teleport him?

As I understand it, you used the console command - X Teleport NPC To Player NPCSID, but how do I find out the NPCSID?
