[Spoilers] Lost Paladin Danse after Minutemen Ending

[Iskierka]

So I seem to have lost Danse somewhere near the end of the game. I have looked everywhere he could be including the police station, prydwen, settlements, etc. It seems the game thinks that I did the Blind Betrayal quest and killed Danse even though I never did the quest in the first place. The last time I saw him was when he stayed behind at the Sentinel site in the glowing sea. When I try to do the moveto player command, he spawns as a corpse and when I resurrect him, he just gives me generic Danse comments. I can't access any buddy commands.

Does anyone know of any console commands that will solve this?

I've got the same problem...

Well if anyone still has troubles with that I may have found a solution. Use setstage 000b9f9d 10. This will trigger the beginning of Blind Betrayal (Stage 10 is the first stage of the mission. You can check every stage on wikia: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Blind_Betrayal ). Then just do the mission as you would normally do.

If you can't find Danse at the bunker, load back your game before using the setsage command. Then use 0005de4d.cf "actor.setcompanion" true true (this will recruit Danse to be your companion). After that use 0005de4d.cf "actor.setcompanion" false false (this will dismiss Danse) but instead of sending him to a settlement, just press TAB, this will send him back to his default location (most likely Boston airport). Then try using the setstage command again.

PS: Thinking about it, my problem wasn't exactly the same. I did the minutemen ending and Danse just vanished and when I tried moving him to me using console commands it didn't work. I just hope what I wrote up there works out for you aswell.

Forgot to mention that after completion you will also get the mission to destroy the Railroad.

Sorry for the necro,

I was searching for the same specific question.

I got Minutemen ending after getting Danse in my Nukaworld settlement. In fact, his companion tag shows just in the bed I got for my char in there after I tagged him on the vault tech computer. There is a settler there instead saying that there is a dangerous look about my char and hoping not being there for him. I didn't do Blind Betrayal either, but something tell me... erm... well I got a new doc settler that might be a reformated BOS synth.

I don't really know how you can fix this. After completing The Nuclear Option with the Minutemen, Blind Betrayal should automaticaly be considered as completed (although not shown in the quest tab) with Danse being spared. However in many cases it just bugs and Danse disappears. Maybe you could try player.moveto 005de4d which moves Danse to your location, or one of the commands I've listed above. I'm pretty sure your problem is related to Blind Betrayal. You can also try to kill him with kill 005de4d then resurrect him with resurrect 005de4d. Try manipulating those commands, maybe in different orders. Most importantly don't forget to save your game before using one of those. Hope you manage to find solution.

If you install & run the people management module in any settlement (<Power> <Miscellaneous>) you can locate & track companions that way with VIP Tracking. Danse can usually be located at Cambridge Police Station or Boston Airport. Won't be there if you dismissed him and send him to a certain other location, use the tracker as above.
