cleansing the commonwealth bug

[scarecrow800]

Knight Rhys has given me a quest to clear out the National Park Campground in Far Harbor. I save my game in one of the settlements nearby and try to clear the area but no matter what I do the quest won't comlete. How can I turn this quest off or reset it? I don't think it's a hardware issue, I have a pair of 1080Ti's, 32 gigs of ramm, 8 core processor, etc., and otherwise the game runs flawlessly. I have no mods at all installed. I have left and returned to Far Harbor several times and it still won't allow me to complete this mission. I kill several ghouls , I go out and kill anything nearby but it still shows the quest active.

You are probably letting one or two ghouls off... but bethesda games are notoriously buggy? So who knows...

I had a mod called "unoficial patch" that broke a quest in nuka world, and another called "vivid something" that made the game crash every time on a certain dialogue.

This is one of the few bugs that I've never been able to fix. The quest pointer disappears once I get within a certain range, then reappears if I back off again. I have gone back and forth like a fiddler's elbow, to no avail. Tried lobbing grenades at the quest marker from a distance. Zip.

I have no idea how to fix this bug, other than trying a console command. Haven't done it because I use the console as little as possible.

Your specs aren't the issue - this is a known bug I'm afraid.

Borroian, yes, that's exactly what I'm getting and I tried the same thing, shooting at the marker and even tried a Nuka Grenade, all to no avail. So, I assume that I can no longer get any missions from Rhys. Do you have any idea what the console command to reset or complete the quest would be?

I got one for Super Duper Mart for Greentop Nursery. The Boss won't spawn so I can't complete the mission. He's already dead from the first or second time I cleared the mart.

Guess no Greentop settlement for me.

I don't know the command - sorry. Word of warning if you find it though. I believe trying to console complete this line of radiant quests can cause issues.

I'm trying to remember how I got past this block the first time. I think - think - I reloaded and sneaked up from the NE (diverted to the right, off the approach path) and tried killing the ghouls that were quest marked. Pretty sure I went for the one outside of the latrine first, because I think that is the buggy one.

Not all of the ghouls have markers iirc. Maybe killing ghouls not so marked - first - borks something scripty wise. That's a guess although I am fairly sure I managed to complete the quest first time around, but not on later play throughs.

If you can't complete, by whatever route, it might be necessary to go back to a save before Rhys handed out this quest and get an alternative location.

Found the answer: on PC open command console. Type SetStage BoSR01 40 . This will move the stage past the clear the area point and will allow you to talk to Rhys to get the next quest.

Thank you so much Sam! After 3 days strugling and searching everywhere, your answer worked for me.

How can I do this on XBox 😭

To my knowledge you cannot. Just let it sit, until you go to the Far Harbor location. If it's in any way a timed mission (which most are not) it'll time out between now and that indistinct point in the future and you won't NEED to worry about it. Otherwise just wait it out and go when you're ready.

Since you don't have access to the developers' console (to my knowledge again) your only option is to wait.
