I killed Knight Rhys by mistake

[Akseline]

So somehow I killed Knight Rhys at Cambridge Police Dept. and as I have checked he's needed for a good amount of missions, is there a way to bring him back to life or getting access to his quest by other locations/npcs?

As far as I know, Rhys is only involved in the Cleansing the Commonwealth missions, which are only a radiant mission (repeatable, never ending, and random). Well, and Semper Invicta, which just leads to the first of the radiants. Radiants are just filler material, and usually aren't worth the trouble.

In general, once an NPC is dead, they are dead. Console commands might bring back the body, but won't un-run the scripts. They likely won't function properly. Your only real choices are to move on, or to reload a save from before the NPC dies.

That looks like a good accident, that man is the most insufferable dicc in the entire Commonwealth

then press enter
exit console

it's enought for this baboon to work

maybe wait 1 day or more in another place of the map until the game reset him. hopefully the game will put the scripts back correctly.

what is strange is that you didn't become enemy of the bos, killing him normally should make enemy of bos during the whole game

That unfortunately didn't work, I have also tired spawning him with console with player.placeatme but with no results

Guess I gotta move on

It's never a good idea to resurrect an NPC. You'll bork your save. And that a$$hat is not worth borking your game. I've been tempted to off him myself, many, many times. I say good riddance. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

I know. Now tell Danse he'll be dead in two days, then shoot Knight Reek. (you have to go that far in Fire Support for them to lose essential status) And low and behold if Sole Survivor wasn't right about Danse being dead in two days.
I don't understand why Bethesda throws so many insults at their customers via NPCs, and the NPCs almost never are redemed. You save Rhys' life and that of Danse and Haylen as well. Rhys gets his butt kicked by ghouls and lost that other Knight in Danse's squad to ghouls, and send SS out alone to fight ghouls and insults SS as he does it.
How could you not kill Rhys? And Danse lets that go on under his command? Stupid synth!
