Oswald bug! Need help?![Updated, part fix]

[Tahl]

So this is so far beyond broken I doubt anything short of a 40TB patch would fix it but...

Oswald wont die. He spawns in at least 3 different locations, starts half his dialog in the theater then idles, idles right away in all other locations. He can be downed temporarily, will fight me if attacked and I cannot use the elevator behind the stage.

This quest is just... wow.
LOVE everything about this DLC so far but this guy and his quest or whatever... ♥♥♥♥.

Biggest issue right now is that I cannot clear the zone like this. Thus, I cannot progress.


Does anyone know how one might go about fixing this issue? Id ask about CC to restart the quest but its not ACTUALLY a quest. Or unmarked event at least.
Thx.

UPDATE: Cannot talk to him. Cant believe I didnt mention that before... no ♥♥♥♥ right. Knew I forgot something, always do.

Hass allowed me to bypass this issue. With ofc, using tcl to fly to the flag.

[Tahl]

Bump, seriously need help with this. Please, ty.

[ironhead1969]

He can be killed, But you can also talk him into leaving and he will take the ferals with him.

[Freani]

So I´m not alone. I´ve already cleared the whole Kiddie Kingdom but Oswald just doesn´t care. I cannot talk to him, he is unkillable, just standing there in the theater or Employee tunnels doing nothing.

[NichoZefanya]

Ok... The easy solution is talk to him
Use yellow dialogue for him to leave the Kiddy Land

2nd solution

yes, he can be killed.

There are 3 locations
1. Castle
2. Fun House
3. Green Pool building (i forgot the name)

You meet him in 2 location, Fun House you can't meet him
In the green pool building he will dissapear

In the Theater (inside the castle) he will appear and you can talk to him
If you shoot him, once he die, he will dissapear

Last the final area, in the roof
If you choose to fight him
You must kill him 5 - 6 Times
Yes, he looks like immortal
but no, keep shooting at him, and sooner or later, he die.

[HoroSaga]

He just seems very buggy in general. In my case, I actually managed to knock him down during the fight in the Theater. He automatically teleports away when his health gets low during that fight, but I managed to knock him all the way down.

He then met me on the roof to "finish the fight", but he was still knocked down when I got up there. It made the fight pretty trivial, because aside from occasionally teleporting around, he spent the whole fight lying on the ground. :P

[Pomeroy]

Not bugged for me, he isnt supposed to be killed at the first encounter, the final fight is on the top of the castle, he spawns ghouls and teleports. You have to overcome him several times, each time wait for him to recover, teleports again, and spawn ghouls. The last round he wont fade, he will be directly killed.

[Tahl]

Thx for getting back guys though I should have mentioned he cannot be talked to. I know he should be able to be talked to... I think I could talk to him our first encounter but ever since then I cant speak with him at all. Only he and that unknown female anouncer speak.

...and yes Iv found him in all locations where he just stands there idle. Cannot be spoken to. Can be attacked and will fight but never die.

Thx again, sry for missing that bit about perma idle.

[Tahl]

So to clarify:

-Found in 3 locations with the same issue.
-Cannot be spoken to.
-Will speak a few lines and appear or disappear then reapear apon entering the theater. Only the theater.
-Can be attacked and fought. Will go down but will not die or TP away.
-Wont spawn/revive the other ghouls.



Iv been hacking away at this quest for a few hours so if its ingame Iv probably tried it. Thx for any suggestion though.
I hope Bugthesda catchs wind of this sooner rather than later.


PS: Any way to turn the gass off in the area without involving Bugwald?

[Freani]

There is a terminal inside the Employee tunnels, where you can switch radioactive mist sprayers off. But in my game, it does not work, probably because Oswald is bugged.

♥♥♥♥, must have missed or overlooked that. Though yeah, sounds like Oswalds not gonna let that really work but thx anyway.

PS: Is your user pick from an anime or something?

[Freani]

I have no idea Anodyne, it probably might be. It was just a random pick when I was looking for some new wallpaper for my Windows. Use "katana kikivi" as a searching keyword in google and you´ll find it eventually.

[AKZ]

Am i the only one who had zero problems with Nuka world? lul

[Tahl]

They just released a patch. This is something Im about to go check up on.

@JandaT
Ah, ok no worries. Just caught my eye and I thought I recognised it. I am totally one of those people that will degrade mentally day after day wondering where I know that from but... oh... well.

[Tahl]

[My] game is not patched. Although its still technically possible that the cause of this bug might be. Unfortunately I dont even have a save old enough to undo this so Im hoping for a reset patch. Or something that allows this quest to be completed.
