Take off your power armor before going into the cave and he isn't hostile, This is how I was able to finish the quest, you can fast travel to his cave in it but as soon as you walk towards the entrance wearing power armour ten the quest fails, climb out the armour as soon as you appear and he isn't hostile inside the cave and it does not auto fail.

Soo.. uhhh.... I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and killed his turrets and made him hostile. I'd go back and reload an old save, but my last quicksave was 4 hrs ago and the most recent one after that was after I killed all his robots.. What do I do?

For pc users, i found a solution, he was hostile to me at the first step (i did destroy everything when i got in there(crap) and i did too much screwing up after that trying to fix it; my last good save before all the crap was 6 days ago, 20 lvl lower...). So the way to fix it i found was by using console command (sorry err console users?).

So i got inside the cave, activated the console and typed "tdetect" which turn AI detection OFF. I went up to him, he stayed green, told me his introduction speech. After that he just was standing there doing nothing.

I then used "tdetect" again and the speech started normally. After the conversation was over, he stayed green and was finally friendly to me.

Hope it helps

TLDR version
Hostile Virgil Bug Solution for PC user
1- open console
2- type "tdetect"
3- Go to Virgil, let him do his intro
4- open console again
5- type "tdetect" while face him (maybe not necessary)

I posted this in another thread just now, but pasting it here for those who are subscribed only to this one:

I'm having the same issue after having walked into the cave once with X-01 PA, recommended console commands aren't working.

Tried tdetect, tcai and recycleactor, all of which simply stopped Virgil and his protectron from attacking. Unfortunately they both still showed up as hostile blips on the compass.

After doing a little more digging into the console commands available, I've found that you can add yourself to Virgil's Faction (000ADDF7), which removes his hostility completely. Here's the command I used (*Don't leave off the 1 at the end as it's the flag that makes the player friendly):

player.AddToFaction 000ADDF7 1

Now when you go talk to him, he is friendly, but doesn't say anything. I've looked through my quest log and not seeing anything failed as far as Virgil is concerned. I've got the serum in my inventory, so there is no reason the player should be unable to finish this task. There must be some way to initiate the next dialog thread after this.

Anyone else feel like Will Smith in I Am Legend when this happened?

I may be too late to the party here but I thought I would leave some insight for future reference. There is; obviously, a way to reset Virgil, I am not the guy to talk to about that unfortunately. The way I got around this whole conglomerated mess was by bypassing the quest entirely. Cheap? Maybe… But if you really want to correct the issue here is what I did.

Open Console [~] & without quotes type:
"setstage 0006b500 200"
--
You will automatically start the next quest-
FYI:
There are four stages to this quest:
10 - Talk to Dr. Amari
20 - Enter The Glowing Sea
50 - Find Virgil in The Glowing Sea
200 - Quest Complete

Virgil and turrets are aggro'd if you wear targeting/etc mods on eyewear or helmets. Take them off before you enter the cave.

[Razoroptics]

We are all in agreement this is in fact a bug correct? I solemnly run across live but suspended turrets,etc. in the Wasteland, so I snuck the minute I saw one and took it out unaware it was friendly and simply on idle…

'People get annoyed when they see a "save 698", yet legacy Bethesda fans are like…What? Oh, that's normal dude" This is why we have so many saves. lol

i had that same glitch it just means you have 2 serums so just drop one of them and you can give him the serum
