Domed City Quest

[Sh4dow]

How do you start it? I think i done every quest available, but im not sure... how do i check?

[D'amarr from Darshiva]

Which quest exactly do you refer to?

The Domed City is a big mission hub with lots of sub-missions:

The primary "Government Affairs" mission you get from the various clerics within the city:

And there is a time-limit. When it ends, there will be a notification on screen to investigate the area. Not many days left for Jax to have influence on the factions within the city and on the city's fate.

[Sh4dow]

yes, i can't trigger Government Affairs

[D'amarr from Darshiva]

That's not enough input for discussion unfortunately.

[Sh4dow]

i talked to every npc in the domed city and i used all dialog options, is there another npc to talk to so i can trigger the quest?

How did you enter? As cleric? Or with false ID?

with a false id, but i told the guy at the front i have a false id, and i gave the id to the outlaw i think

Many if not all of the missions/tasks within the Domed City are sub-missions of the major mission that ultimately decides on the fate of the city. Like working with or against the various factions. Like sabotaging the energy shield. Liking filling the vacant engineer job. And and and...

Alois is the clerics' leader. Gottfried (upstairs on the tower) is more difficult to find.

[Sh4dow]

should i start killing npc's?
Edit: i killed everyone, only Jorg gave me a red message (you took a side)

[regina_ragna]

I can't help you... never occured to me.
But you can try 2 things:
Walk northeast in the direction of the separatists' converter until under the big bridge. If you find someone in this place, ask him about his travels.
Then walk from Abessa to northwest direction, leaving the small Alp camp at your right side and climbing a mountain path to some reavers' home. When you get back to Abessa, sth. might have changed.
If not you messed up.

It has been extremely stable here since 2017 whenever I've revisited it. But OS runtime environments (drivers, system components, settings e.g.) and hardware change all the time and can turn into a moving target. Sometimes it causes side-effects within the game. Sad but cannot be ruled out. Not in AAA+ products either.

And then there are some players, who encounter the really rare issues, such as when overdoing it with meta-gaming and ignoring main missions seemingly forever (just because that may have worked in a different game). Still ELEX is very resilient here and, for example, one can reach the Albs' Ice Palace in Xacor at level 1 already or level up to 25+ while staying in chapter 1.

Finally, where conversation trees are sufficiently complex, players are well-advised to not click through conversation too quickly but to carefully explore the available options. Or else it can happen that something new remains down in a conversation tree and would lead to mission progress.


Btw, remote trouble-shooting is hard. It's not known what your mission journal looks like. It can also happen that the clerics manage to defend the city, and that's one of the outcomes. Nobody here can tell which of the on-screen notifications you may have overlooked or misinterpreted.

As before, your journal entries would give insight. And as mentioned, when entering the Domed City and learning about what's going on there, there is a time limit.
