Mechanist Quest Bug SOLVED!! [Fixed]

[✪ blkswnsamurai]

A lot of people are stuck in the mechanist lair when she sends the swarm of robots. Here is how you do it, AFTER, all of the (destroyable) robots are destroyed

TO SOLVE: Enter tcl in console, and go into her room. go to the back, re open console, and click on her terminal in the back (while in console) and type unlock. use terminal and problem solved.

Thank you so much!

THANK YOU!!! Every time I approached the terminal to enter the password, I got stuck and couldn't do anything. Toggling clipping (tcl) let me get to the terminal and enter the password. Thank goodness for these forums.

Thank you for this! I kept getting stuck. This command worked like a charm - and mission done!

I also managed to go into the terminal by crouching on the right side of the terminal before entering it if anyone is looking for a solution without the console.

Same issues for me. Tried, retried, re-saved, etc,,, decoding she & her robots, once she managed to reprogram them for good, maybe needing getting rid of those disguntled human brain bots possibly remembering what was done to them ,,, I used the interact with hack key with god mode tgm ,,, to just disable all attacking robots ,,, incite works too but they may follow you & shoot at other bots that start shooting @ you ,,, only the unreachable un-hackable auto turrets had to be destroyed ,,, originally, using tcl to get in her control room, I used console cheat to force her to talk with me ,,, that worked, we went thru the good chat back & forth ,,, she took off her mask when I asked why the mask ,,, ,,, had already gotten the 3 holotapes needed for elevator to there from higher Security Office ,,, but even with Mechanist's permission & password, her Terminal won't give access for control ,,, just shows power status ,,, since trying various methods, including unlock, still no control access, ,,, she due to messing with console 7 new save files, etc ,,, she's back to mask & armor on from the nicer looking jeans, shirt, pony tail ,,, so i tried the console reset character trick ,,, OOPS !! :-0 = just bra & undies lol :-) ,,, not funny really so i put her back to mask & armor to continue trying to find way ,,, might have to console rest that quest now since trying the console completequest ,,, that quest is off do list & can't be used like that for terminal access anymore ,,, so maybe i'll go to control room again, get close enough for terminal use pop up ,,, raise console, click on terminal to get it's ID showing, then try Quest reset ,,, "resetquest" space "Quest ID # showing ,,, you can also use console sqt to see various ids but be careful it will show other quests too ,,, I suppose I'm wasting my time as it's not likely an option to get her fully allied & stop the continuing ground level bots of hers from attacking Settlements ??? In trying all imaginable scenarios, I used console cheat to gain use of her Workshop on main arena floor down under her Control Room closed windows ,,, built large shack & set up beds, chairs, tables, working arcade games with stools that Nick & other Settlements people like to sit on, looking like they're playing lols ;-) ,,, for food & water, set up cooking workshop, Nuka Cola dispenser stocked , cooler & ice box stocked with food, water, wine, brew, etc lols ;-) Even left chessboards, newspapers, coffee pot, coffee cups, on coffee table with 6 airplane seats each side lols. :-) ,,, Too bad underground there I can't use Minutemen radio tower to start drawing in Settlers lols ;-) Also built robot workshop & build 1 to stay there as helper despite no Settlers to help defend. I wonder what would happen, & may try, if i starting from upper entrance, incite the shutdown robots which makes them friendly wanna be followers of me ,,, just tell them stay there,,, as facility security ,,, hmmm, maybe not as anyone else likely be considered threats ,,, 🤔

I fixes this by opening a browser, looking up info on fixes, returning to the game - which was still running - and the bug had been fixed.

Not sure what the problem is, never had any bugs there, i just kill,them all and after that is just dialogue with her, at the end, mission complete!
