How to find a quest ID/Stage

[jonnan.west]

I have two Radiant quests that aren't complete when I Report back - One a 'Kill the Undead at' given by Andurs, the other a 'Kill the Beast of' For the steward of Whiterun. The option is there to turn in the quest, the NPC's acknowledge it - I obviously need to setstage on the quests, but I'm reasonably sure the one from Andurs is a CC update, and I haven't the foggiest how to find the quest ID (And ideally what stage I'm on and what stages are available).

Any help appreciated.

There are several console commands regarding quests that you may find here[en.uesp.net]. Carefully read the descriptions as some of these commands may completely ruin your game.

Start with the "sqt" command. This will display a listing of all active quest IDs and quest targets. If it's a long list, depending on the number of active quests, scroll through the list with PageUp and PageDn. The quest targets may give you an indication if you have missed something. Also the "sqo" command may give you some indications. If you have found the quest ID you can use "getstage <questID>" or "sqs <questID> to get the status of quest stages. All console commands without the double quotations marks. Stages can be set to 0 (not completed) or 1 (completed). As not all stages in a quest will be completed depending on choices made by the player, focus on the last stage set to 1. Once you know the quest ID, look for the meaning of the quest stages (which stages have been set and which have not been set). If there is a bug in the quest, find the stage that completes the quest and use "setstage <questID> <stage#>".

Be very careful using console commands. Wrong command and your game is borked sooner or later.

Thanks - yeah I've used console commands lots of times, but hoped someone had a primer.

Thanks for the info, seems to have been manny_up_bu 'Slay the Undead' and manny_up_sb 'Slay the beast' from the Notice board mod, that seem to have gotten stuck and wouldn't complete.

Have you used SSEedit to find which quest stage that you need for that quest?


How to find quest ID: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/rs5btd/how_do_you_get_quest_id_from_sseedit/

SSEedit is probably better to find and change mods quest stage in then using commands.
