bugged on Revelation - Find the artifact

[kbrandon1]

**Potential Spoilers** I'm doing the revelation mission and I get to the 'Find the Artifact' task and I can't go any further. I'm in the cave and hit the switch on the elevator/lift and Sarah comes out of nowhere and starts talking to me. The screen goes black, she keeps talking with canned 'waiting for response' dialogue but the mission never resumes. Has anyone else run into this? I can't find a work around.

necroposting, but the error is relevant for the March 2025 version of the game. I was able to get through only using the console. You need to enter the command before entering the elevator, which starts the scene in Eye:
setstage 0018ae76 992

How can it be “relevant to March 2025 version” when the original post was made in October 2023?

He meant its relevant to normal people.

Were you using a save from 2023 ? I have never ran across that issue on ~30 playthroughs from january 2024 to now.

It's probably not relevant at all because it appears not to be an issue in recent versions, CF my post above.

Could be relevant to older saves, since fixes are often not retroactive.

Are you saying that IF i was to come back to this game and wanted to continue my journey through the Starfield, I would have to make a NEW savegame, and just forget about the one I put 300 hours into ?

Some are, others arent.

That means if you're using an older save that had bugs IE broken missions, those may not be fixed if you load the save on a recent version. However the bugs will not occur if you start the missions on a fresh save.

Find a skyrim save from 2011 and see if your broken quests are magically fixed.

Yes, thats how updates and patches have worked for single player games for decades.

Always happy to help newcomers to video games

That being said, in SF you have the option to go to NG+, which should reset your game while keeping progression, fixing stuff in the process.

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ out original skyrim saves, only held on to the second playthrough from 2013 ;p

Tho tbh when I played the second time around on a new version, the quests were still broken and I had to download a community patch to fix that ;p
