SPOILER: Zalissya bugged to hell and back?

[Ace ♠]

So I saved Zalissya, got the achievement and everything, Gaffer even talked on the radio about how they are holding strong against the Monolith. But then right after when I walked over to the Sphere he broadcasted on the radio how Zalissya has fallen. Is this supposed to happen, or is this quest just bugged to ♥♥♥♥? Had to use console commands to even start it because the town hall doors wouldn't open.

This quest is bugged to ♥♥♥♥, I couldn't even do it. I got there to defend it and all of Monolith and the stalkers were chilling in the big building with the door locked. No matter how many times I reloaded or what angle I tried approaching from. I had to just leave and hear the ''Zalissya has fallen'' message and lose out on the side missions there. Have to hope to get that achievement on a second playthrough in a few months when the game has been fixed and some cool mods have been made.

The defense failed because the Zalissya building is bugged - with monoliths inside. You can lure them out by running around the base and entering the houses - someone managed to do it, but I didn't. Even if you get the achievement, you need to talk to Batya, if you leave the town before that, the defense will fail. I really hope they fix this bug in the next patch

You weren't done yet.

You have to kill the last wave and meet to listen to him give a speech before you're done.

Also, if you weren't very thorough or fast in cleaning out the monolith the stalkers will try to get THROUGH the front door of the meeting hall to shoot at them from the windows on the back of the building. That's what gets it stuck and needs to be fixed. I didn't have that problem since I stayed out back, but I've heard other people say it was an issue.

You... literally didn't.

Or the quest would have updated and you wouldn't have gotten the message that it fell. You still had a monolith alive in the camp somewhere.

Unless you were using a trainer or used console commands and glitched your progress somehow.

Well thank you Mr. Clairvoyant, didn't know you were watching me play all this time.

Yes, it takes Clairvoyance to tell you that you didn't complete the questline so you failed it.

meh i got the quest complete, and was to talk to gaffer but the npc are blocking the entrance, so i cant get in at all, tried to reload and the monolith guys had respawned inside the house, sigh guess waiting for a patch

I did all of that too, speech and all, used a console command to kill all enemies within 1000 meters, and still when i left the town they "got overrun. Not sure why these people are denying the quest is completely bugged.

Yeah, it's bugged to ♥♥♥♥. There's a reddit post that explains the console command to fix it.
It requires UETools, and then you need to teleport to a random point on the map, teleport to Clear Sky, and then teleport back to Zalissya, and it breaks the "failure" trigger..

No joke.

This isn’t guaranteed to even fix it, at the least in my case it didn’t

I'm at the exact same place. Doors that gaffer are behind are locked. Sounds of a gunfight but I've searched every building and the surrounding area and nobody is shooting anything.

First of all, it would be great if you search for similar topics about the issue. There are several topics on Zalissya that contain some helpful advices and it also prevents clogging the forums with similar topics.

I'm re-posting what I wrote in the other topic about my case and what I did to finish it.
---
I have entered SIRCAA after patch 1.0.1 and completed it post 1.0.2. Just to give background information.

I have made hard save after talk to Lodocka at Quiet's place. When I moved out to explore impact of the changes resulting from main quest, I have gotten radio call first about disturbances at Sphere and later call for help from Zalissya.
My first 2 attempts to get to Zalissya resulted in quest bugging out and the doors to Ward barracks being locked. I walked slowly towards Zalissya and engaged with enemies spawning along the way, particularly big shoot out at Eastern Checkpoint. This means I was hit by an emission and had to hide from it before entering Zalissya.
My 3rd attempt, and the successful one, was simply to run as fast as possible using energy drinks and ignoring any hostiles to Zalissya. I have managed to get there before the emission triggered, Ward barracks doors were unlocked and I could initiate the quest. Emission never triggered for me 3rd time.
The trader still dies as he simply walks towards the safehouse and dies when he reaches it.

so the quest bugged for me, i went to zalyssya, and no enemys had spawned at all, but i could hear ambient gunfire. spoke to the npc's out the front of the building but nobody opened the door, so i left the town on the way to the radar station and half way there i hear "dont come to zalyssya, theres nothing but death here" i came back, the doors are open and gaffer is dead, so I just progressed on with the story. is there any way i can be able to trade and stuff at zalyssiya again? or has the zone truly screwed me?
