Zalissya defence still bugged after patch?

[ArrangedKarma]

*spoilers*



So as the title suggests, it seems defending Zalissya from monolith after the patch remains bugged. Before, the door wouldnt even open, now I can progress the quest as normal, but after finishing all the tasks, and even getting the achievement, I leave and after a short walk I get the task to return and defend it from the final wave of monolith.
However, returning "finishes" the quest, but the enemies never spawn, thus preventing me from finishing it.
The only thing to do is leave and doing so results in the radio broadcast saying Zalissya has fallen.
Anyone else dealing with this?

Yep can’t even get the first attack to trigger but what do you expect, if they don’t test their game before releasing why test patches before releasing?

Sharing solution from Reddit that worked for me on the patch 1.0.3.
Go to Dire Thicket and lure Bloodsucker all the way up to Zalyssia. He is tied up to his location, so he won't fully enter the town, but he will reset this flag that "enemies nearby" and door will unlock

I get request to aid Zalissya but when I get there I hear gunfire but see no NPCs at all. How have the devs missed this bug after 1.01 and 1.02 patches?

yep this is my problem now

I didn't start this quest until after 1.03 but I can tell its still horribly screwed up. However you can save the town still. Here's the steps I took:

1. Save before you get to town, after you hear calls for help. Just in-case.
2. Get to town, you'll hear gun shots, there are corpses in the trading store. The ward should be attacking near the Ward building. Kill them.
3. Talk to Gaffer and Warlock, they wont say much at all. But you get a quest to check on Uncle Leonya.
4. Run all the way down to the house 900m south, do the objetives there. Take out any enemies, come back.
5. Town should be under attack but quest should update.
6. Nothing will really progress after you kill any enemies (if they spawn). But leaving town will immediately trigger "second attack" phase.
6.5. You can kill the monolith scouts on the hill before talking to Gaffer. Defend the town if enemies spawn, then leave town.
7. Turn around and head back into town, as it will be under attack again. Kill the monolith this time. There should be a voice trigger that you've defended the town. You may fail optional objectives like kill scouts in this phase.
8. Again talk to Gaffer and Warlock, it appears to have progressed stuff but you'll notice a bunch of blue flags.
9. Go to blue flags and kill the enemies that are just chilling there. There could be 5-10 of them. A voice trigger should have played at some point saying you saved the town.
10. Talk to gaffer/warlock again. Nothing happens -> leave town, this time heading towards Slag heap for example. About 300-400m away a bunch of voice triggers will tell you that failed and Zalyssia is gone. Then a voice trigger will play that you shot at them and are not welcome back. Then a voice trigger will play that you defended the town and saved them.
11. Heading back to town and talk to gaffer and warlock. This time they've changed positions and have new things to say. Town is a saved but its pretty much a ghost town.

I just found out that the bugged mission of defend Zalissya can easily be solved by just going inside the bar/tavern and wait there a bit. What i did was just trying to open the double door of the city center building and watching from the window that there was 10+ monolith inside, so i went to the bar and opened the PDA to check nearby location and missions. At this point i have heard shoots and i saw outside the the monolith where outside the city center building shooting the survivors... i just killed them and i can finally go inside to talk with the guy for start the mission. (some monolith are actually still inside... hope they wont kill people while im going away)

When i saw like 8 monoliths and stalker inside building, i just started look around and going to other buildings, and after few minutes sttalkers and monoliths started go out from building, the last 3 monoliths i pull out by standing near them and trying to pull them with player collision, when they pull out their guns they make small step, with that small steps i moved them to exit

Its still glitched. All monolith soldiers are spawned with others at same point

This game is so sad. This game is an example of incompetence and lies of the creators

5 NPCs stuck inside each other

Thankfully was able to progress & finish the quest after a couple of days of trying

[Marcin_89]

My god this game is a one BIG LIE...

[Nite69]

I lost zalyssa on my current playthrough I didn't get to them in time to save them, You get a message from gaffer that the entire town is dead when he gets down to the last survivor

I just finished the defense. One basically has to

• Visit all the places (bar, hamsters shop, lens'es workshop)
  
• Go to the townhall, talk to Gaffer & Medic & Bartender
  
• Do the medics job, fetch the weapon, fight off Monoliths which will eventually attack the townhall while you run around
  
• Listen to the Stalkers (Foreigner Bob & others who are outside of the Townhall and shoot things), get an optional quest from listening
  
• Do that optional mission (fight Monolith scouts)
  
• Check in with hamster, bribe his guard
  
• Check back with Gaffer
  
• Go after the former Guide, kill all Monoliths and the traitor
  
• Go back to Gaffer, don't turn in the weapon (just tell him Gaffer that you can't do all of the Bartenders jobs)
  
• Leave the village (tip: go towards Chemical Plant), get a radio call for help from the village
  
• Rush back, flank the Monoliths (hence leaving for Chemical Plant); check for friendly fire (a lot of Stalkers will run around near the Townshall)
  
• Sweep the area (get to each exit - there will be more Monolith coming in from all sites)
  
• Once Gaffer calls all back to Townhall, just walk towards him - dialogue starts.
  
• The End

For me I found that going to the bar and just shooting the dead monolith bodies spawned the enemies outside.

I did this and it seems to have fix my quest. I had the doors open and units spawn but some stuck inside. Reloaded a save to a lock door, fixed locked door to find more stuck inside, and then tried shooting dead bodies.

Yup. That’s what I did. Just left them to their fate. I had to kite monolith soldiers from the Sphere near by and then kill them just outside the town just to get the doors to open. The whole quest is bugged. Best leave it for the next play through.
