Bruh, the Zallisya quest

#

How to do it? Tbh, I bribed the guard so Hamster cameback, but then he and the guard just die once they touch the church doors xD

mossy tapir
#

atm, either it works or it doesn't. rip.

last quail
#

Like it still works, it counts that subpart as done, then you finish it, get the suit

#

But after you leave for 200 meters or so

mossy tapir
#

but the second wave doesnt spawn. right

last quail
#

Any fix?

mossy tapir
#

no.

last quail
#

Oof.

fossil hornet
#

just abandon the quest you dont get anything more than the seva suit

last quail
#

Well got the Steam Achievement anyway... a shame Zallisya has to go 😛

heady turret
#

I just noticed that when you "finish" the mission it unticks your objective to kill the scouts on the hill

#

that might be related somehow

pastel summit
#

Well

#

Screw them.

#

Tried downgrading, saves do not work, so a small PSA: If you will try to downgrade your game, saves made on newer version won't work.

#

I'm going to sleep, I've wasted too much time on this. Sorry Loners, You'll need to die.

#

either way my first playthrough will be the playthrough of bad decisions since I've joined the ward and I'm not sure if that was smart 😄

#

good luck guys

weary delta
#

Zalissya supposed to be like Cordon in the first game, welcoming for rookies, but now there is only death and despair, RIP Zalissya.

errant fern
#

damn was enjoying that quest line.. but thanks

copper ravine
#

Zalissya has fallen, millions must go to Cordon

shy raven
#

everything that can spoil is on spoiler: so, on the side quest "on the edge", ||hamster always dies when he is inside or touches the church||, and this is happening after the patch or also before ? on my side he was ||still alive|| and now he ||randomly dies|| no matter the save i use where he was ||still alive||
if anyone has managed to keep him ||alive||, does the quest still get ||zalissya falling|| ?
EDIT: btw now all the ||monolithian inside are just randomly dead||

proper phoenix
shy raven
#

that is so infortunate, i really hope that they fix it very soon cause honestly, i aint gonna play till it's fixed 😢

rugged bolt
#

Did they fix the chemical plant dialogue bug?

proper phoenix
shy raven
vapid mortar
#

No matter what

shy raven
vapid mortar
#

Zal will fail

#

No matter if hamster dies

#

Or anything

#

Zal will fall

#

Save it in the next play through

weak sorrel
#

So zal is still just broken?

#

Or at least they patched a couple things

vapid mortar
#

Yes, for console there is no fix.

#

I didn’t even get the update yet.

#

I haven’t played for an hour so, could be wrong.

weak sorrel
#

On this playthrough I could complete a bit more of the zal story, but the mission "on the edge" is bugged, when you return to zalissya nothing happens, and if you leave the city will fall

shy raven
weak sorrel
#

Honestly I think the bug fixes will come in waves like this. We make some progress, but end up finding new bugs and can only progress so to certain points

vapid mortar
#

After on the edge Zal (I think) holds no more use other than being a base for the story.

#

So other than losing a base, game is complete able, just try to minimize routes in and out of the lesser zone for your carrying convenience

weak sorrel
#

Even if its mostly insignificant I'd still like zal to survive, especially since it's a useful travel point in the lesser zone

vapid mortar
#

Slag heap, Rostock and the Sultansk and beards ship are what you’ll need

vapid mortar
somber nexus
#

Derp. Can't do The Invisible Threat without Zalyissa getting ded

#

Went to sphere to get emitter, went to rookie village to fast travel to rostok to then head over to hand in Emitters and that old retard Gaffer just gives up.

gritty plaza
#

WAIT

#

If you move far enough to fulfill the scientist's mission

#

you save Zalissya

somber nexus
#

That's what I'm doing. I started moving towards the fella in WT west of rostok to give the emitters to and Gaffer comes on the radio saying ITS GAME OVER MAN

gritty plaza
#

no

somber nexus
#

OK then what do you suggest

gritty plaza
#

Sorry i was doing another thing

#

I thing a killed someone or something like that when i got a message that zalissya survived but i wasnt welcomed and some objetive broke

#

I send the image on screenshoots

gritty plaza
thorny pollen
#

so havent tried but ive heard there is a dumb way to put the zalissya mission on hold till they fix it by killing uncle but not talking to gaffer after and then you can just leave the area the second attack wont come until you turn that in but again havent tried just something i read

somber nexus
#

I understood that as long as I didn't start the Zalissya defense at all, by not stepping foot in or near it, I could continue the rest of the game, but nope.

#

In the side quest "All that is left" I am asked by a ward officer to retrieve an artefact from a chemical plant, after collecting the artefact the quest doesn't disappear nor does it progress further, the same objective remains to "Get the artefact". Is this bugged or is it a different artefact?

somber nexus
rigid juniper
#

If you have a save its worth a shot

gritty plaza
somber nexus
#

kinda limits options to explore burnt forest and that thing in the southwest

#

maybe I head canon that Zal is unsavable. I mean it's very close to Wild Island, and the monodicks are totally wrecking IPSF. how on earth are a bunch of rookies gonna defend themselves.

timber wharf
#

Posted earlier here that I couldn't complete Zaliyssa - On the Edge. Finished all objectives except "Return to the Gaffer". He just sat there, unresponsive. Ran through the side-quest one more time and discovered that the hitbox to prompt dialog was very, very small and I had missed it earlier. Completed the quest once that was triggered.

deep mountain
#

can u complete main story when u let zalyssia get destroyed because i dont wanna bother anymore ^^

thorny pollen
#

ya you can

deep mountain
#

thank god i hope i dont get into a bug in the main story again smile_strelok

supple sage
somber nexus
#

hmm, I don't think I can do the "first defense" anyways. I run right there and I can hear gun battles but the town is empty, corpsoes, the buildings have the "destroyed" look to them

#

I didn't even start SIRCAA until this morning after the patch

supple sage
#

Was the same for me. Though I had already completed SIRCAA. Honestly what a joke. My good will is gone at this point. These guys should be refunding half the cost to everyone since this is very clearly an EA game. I've never played a game with this many broken quests, bugs and crashes. And I've played most bethesda games, Cyberpunk etc you name it. None of them were this broken. I'm just pissed this game is so addicting.

acoustic sedge
#

What to do if my All that is left quest is bugged? In the hole, there are no mutants and I found where the artifact is supposed to be, but it's not there

somber nexus
#

they have hotlines for ladies in abusive relationships to seek counsoling you know

proper phoenix

# somber nexus hmm, I don't think I can do the "first defense" anyways. I run right there and I...

Im having a similar issue but i "defended" the town once already (got there and the town slaughtered every monolithian already). Got all the side quests done, talk to gaffer and once i go to leave the town i get a call to come defend it again where no monolith spawn at all but also the reinforcements (all 3 of em) pile into one spot in front of the main house while all the normal ai that sticks around are going about business as usual (cept gaffer moved to sit in the room right behind warlock) and it just stays like that.

#

Anyone discover a workaround for it yet?

somber nexus
#

Nope. Le redditors thought they had their work around and then they all realized after continuing on their merry way a couple hours later that they lost and it's GAME OVER.

severe brook
#

Lodochka's door still won't open after patch wat do

echo dawn
#

Anyone else having an issue with seek an you shall find ?after I loot the last stash it points me towards that exact chest that is empty
Wasn't there something in the patch notes about that quest especially?

livid trail
#

Sorry if this has already been asked but has anyone found a workaround to On the Edge when it asks you to return?

vapid mortar
#

If your console

#

Your best bet is to save it next play through

livid trail
#

dang thats unfortunate

#

oh well

vapid mortar
#

After on the edge you don’t need it story wise anymore

#

It just makes it a bit harder to stash stuff

#

Slag heap, the ships, and rostok are the closest I believe.

livid trail
#

alr thanks Im just gonna skip out on it this playthrouhg ig

Embrace or destroy zone?

livid trail
#

Embrace I think

#

I've been trying to side with Scar and Noontide and all that

supple sage
vapid mortar
#

If destroy, think of it like this. One less place for stalkers.

Embrace, less stalkers to muck up your beautiful paradise

Has anyone else been having troubles with waiting for round 4 of the arena side quest? I've slept many times and it still has not said that the next match is ready yet.

somber nexus
#

Well I feel less annoyed about defense zalyssia since there's a Seva suit just sitting here in wild territory

unique snow
#

anyoner hav a working method on how to complete the quest "in the name of science" because im at a point where i need to either fix the radio frequncy or destroy the jammer and the quest thing isnt there

neon pagoda
# neon pagoda Im having a similar issue but i "defended" the town once already (got there and ...

Update i was testing and realized that every time ive had a glitch related to Zalissya (at least that i can remember) i get a heavily damaged fort 221 placed into my #4 slot moving my shotgun into my inventory once a quest trigger is activated. Its very easy to replicate thru multiple saves and i was wondering if this was a problem for others too or is this a quirk of my save/choices?
Video evidence of the bug: https://youtu.be/u1yV1nPDJ0Q

#

Original footage was 1440p but i brought it down to 1080 for the sake of ease

hidden osprey
#

I've replicated it at least three times messing around with triggers

neon pagoda
#

You got any clue on why is it a fort 221 (or any other ideas?)

#

Ive noticed that gun appearing in my inventory before but assumed i picked it up without thinking

vapid mortar
#

Let’s say you make it

#

You still fail

#

When you get a certain distance away, whether saved or not

#

You still fail

#

💀

somber nexus
#

some other stalker theorized those guns are supposed to be sent to NPCs but you get them isntead because the intern at GSC didn't read the internal docs closely enough

hidden osprey
#

Honestly, im not too sure either at first i thought the same as you and though i equipped it by accident. But even with an empty inventory it still pops up a low durability 221, but yeah @somber nexus i think is right

#

thats the theory ive been hearing

pastel osprey
#

I am trying to to get into the lesser zone after the event in sicra. Is it bugged?

vapid mortar
pastel osprey
#

Damnit thank you for telling me

hidden osprey
# vapid mortar 💀

it really be like that, time to leave Gaffer for the next 10 hours wondering what tf ever happened to Skif

vapid mortar
#

Even avoiding LZ

#

You will fail it

#

You will have to play without Zali

Testing now but I saw another post about xResetQuestbySID E07_SQ01 and how it didn't work and so I tried xStartQuestbySID E07_SQ01 and there is suddently alot of shooting going on so I'll let you guys know how it goes.

vapid mortar
#

Console people are screwed

#

I speak for the broke boxes

supple sage
#

honestly might not be a fix but I'll try it out and see how it goes.

vapid mortar
#

Some people I’ve seen say they got it, others don’t. Most use some console command or a no clip.

urban dew
#

I found a fix for Zalyissia On the Edge wave 2 not spawning!
use command
XStartQuestNodeBySID E07_SQ01_Spawn_MonoWave1_Squad

livid trail
#

If this works you're the goat

vapid mortar
#

Yeah if your PC try the console command a

#

I thjnk you guys are fine

#

I wish I could lmao 😭

urban dew
#

Walk outside the town, as soon you get the radio message "we are attacked again" walk back in the town, in its center, use command
XStartQuestNodeBySID E07_SQ01_Spawn_MonoWave1_Squad
then they start spawning, kill all and it should work

supple sage
# vapid mortar I’ve seen 50/50

Mine does not work. restarted all of it. But I did get to join the initial fight so that was a fun time kill. Gonna try Synax's now lol

vital hedge
#

Let us know if you manage to keep the town alive

urban dew
#

worked for me, just now left lesser zone, got back in - and everyone is alvive! wuhu, 6 hours trial and error 😄

livid trail
#

holy wow

#

post that on the subreddit rn

#

bro LITERALLY saved Zalissaya

vital hedge
#

Gonna try to replicate now

urban dew
#

what was the issue with chemical plant? never been there

vital hedge
#

it was more so leaving lesser zone and not getting the dead message

neon pagoda
urban dew
#

yea I was in the swamp, went back (via commands) and everyone alive. Warlock even opened up his new bar

livid trail
#

so I got the next wave to spawn and I think I finished the quest but I still have the objective of returning to Zali. Any idea what to do?

supple sage
urban dew
#

try the kill all command a few times (XKillNPCInRadius 5000000 -99999999999999999999999999 -1000)

#

what also worked for me, was doing the whole quest from start to finish only with this command ( except killing the dogs with guns)

#

so I never fired a shot, the whole quest (besides dogs)

#

and do not talk to Gaffer a second time, unless you have finished ALL side quests

supple sage
#

Due to being stuck I went and got that ultimate edition modded siaga and an exo so it wasnt to hard to keep everyone alive. but I really shouldnt have this stuff at this point. lol

urban dew
#

credits to this guy on Reddit who posted it first I think FiveAM88

supple sage
#

lol hamster and ricochet still die at the door when they bail out of their shelter.

urban dew
#

i just kill them

supple sage
#

Lol I may load up and merc em so I can at least show I helped haha

cosmic topaz
urban dew
supple sage
#

It does spawn alot of guys in waves so bring ammo and some good guns.

cosmic topaz
#

Cause when I get there and into the marker, the quest auto completes but nothing else happens which leads to the fall of the town

urban dew
#

I think it might be still the case that no NPC is allowed to die, so better use XKillNPCInRadius 5000000 -99999999999999999999999999 -1000 a few times

gritty plaza
urban dew
#

I put up a post

gritty plaza
#

this is probably not a joke

livid trail
cosmic topaz
#

Ugh finally yes that command did the trick and I'm having a meeting in the hall

livid trail
#

something ive noticed is that after finishing the quest when I left the town I got another objective that just says "fight off the attack"

cosmic topaz
#

Mind posting an image?

urban dew
#

cant copy and paste images here I think

cosmic topaz
#

Oh well, at least I have a save file before I went into the lesser zone to do that side quest just in case.
I've a created a new save file after that side quest was truly complete and I can move on from there.

urban dew
#

I downloaded this mod which lets me set up to 1000 saves - I am just doing hard saves every 15 minutes now lol in case of a bug

timber wharf
#

The command for getting the attack started worked. Prior to that, on repeated tries, it just dead-ended after I went back to Zalissaya. The KillNPCInRadius command didn't work (but I only entered it twice) so I fought through the attack and quest completed. Door unlocked and survivors were in the room with the Gaffer. Thank you!

cosmic topaz
#

oh yeah...those guys hurt, usually I keep my attackers at a distance and use the Cluster rilfe since its a nice mixture of assault and sniper and it has scope

#

but um yeah, everything was close quarters engagement and nearly died a couple of times.

astral stratus
#

Is hamster supposed to drop dead as soon as he walks through the main buildings door in the saving zalissya quest? 😭

urban dew
astral stratus
#

Does it affect the end of the quest or what

urban dew
#

I have no idea, but I think I still had a "good ending"

astral stratus
#

Alright good to know

supple sage
#

Linked to your post on another redit thread

vital hedge
#

Can confirm this works! Thanks a ton - I was getting so annoyed not being able to progress haha

gritty plaza
urban dew
#

Maybe the "best" way is still having Hamster die in the entrance, payingthe guy 6000 and running fast to tell him Hamster is convinced

#

since technically "you" did not kill them

vital hedge
#

i had no issues paying off the 6k and progressing through - good message at the end

spare pilot
#

ah he just said on the radio they were ok

urban dew
#

and they even set up a new bar

cosmic topaz
#

I find it approx 500 meters away from the safe space to trigger any messages

spare pilot
#

yea seems that way.

#

they were all standing inside so now i go back and see

knotty condor
#

Is there any way to fix on the edge the second wave on console or should I just have to wait until for another patch

Cuz I come back after it tells me to come back and nothing happens

spare pilot
#

ok. radio said they were safe, but they are still standing. will need to leave lesser zone and come backk

#

funnily enough, theres a downed guy who wont get up when i heal him. he got teleported inside

pastel osprey
#

I need to know on the lesser zone after the events in sicra I can't get into the main place where the side quest is at

vital hedge
#

thats fixed now

pastel osprey
#

It's locked for me

vital hedge
#

zalissya?

pastel osprey
#

Yes

vital hedge
#

Weird, stalkers should come out of the main building as you walk up to it

plain fox

#

I have an NPC stuck and when i talk with them it wont trigger the quest turn in lol

pastel osprey
#

Is there any way to glitch inside the main holding area?

#

Do I have to shoot or something?

#

At this point I’m just gonna progress through the story, zalissya can die. Haven’t really been there since the beginning anyways and I’ve sided with the ward.

cedar forge
#

oof rough for me i sided with stalkers for this playthrough 😦 now no zali for middle travel either rookie village or sultansk for bottom and the slag and rostok for mid

astral stratus
#

Yeah zalissya just fell for no reason aint mo way

lean summit
#

Sooooo does Zalissya falling have any negative effects on the story?

astral stratus
#

Not sure it just happened for me

#

I jsut want the shop there man

livid trail
#

Has anyone noticed a change in the sell price for artifacts? I know the patch notes said something about them selling for their actual value but it still feels like they're worth nothing

amber lotus
#

Are the rewards for the defense worth it I might just let it die too

astral stratus
#

Not really

#

I got like 3-4k coupons and a little bit of loot

livid trail
vital hedge
#

you all on xbox?

astral stratus
#

I am

livid trail
#

nope

lean summit
#

Yup

vital hedge
#

tough

#

i was struggling today whether to keep playing or not over this defense lol

livid trail
#

it doesn't seem to have any impact on the story so far

vital hedge
#

until the workaround came out

lean summit
#

It'd be nice for the vendors but I don't see a point to brute force a bug. If it doesn't do anything to the story then imma just let it burn

look up the chat a bit before

If anything just play up until you get the reward for killing ||Lyonya||

then don't bother with the town

You god

#

Im about to crawl out of bed just to try that lol

astral stratus
#

Yeah i finished the wuest and it fell theres no point in helping them

#

Lol

vital hedge
#

yeah if you aren't on pc, you're stuck for now

astral stratus
#

L tbh

#

How do they fix the first half and not the second 😭

lean summit
#

Rip starter town. I progressed already but I've been thinking about it. I noticed the stash and bed is still avaliable tho

amber lotus
livid trail
#

yes but thats only if youre giving up on the quest

#

Pretty much after killing him you're told to speak to Gaffer

#

he gives you a pretty good reward

amber lotus
#

Yeah true I’ll probably just do that

livid trail
#

then once you leave the town you get a message to return and thats where the bug happens

vital hedge
#

yeah you need that UE command for now to spawn the 2nd wave

knotty condor
vital hedge
#

unfortunately no, it's a mod for PC to run the console

iron flume
#

Just did the zalissia workaround worked for me ran to the sphere after hearing the radio call and The hornets nest main quest started is that normal ? it seemed rather odd and random

#

plus the game told me to speak to solder (optional) but I already killed him

vital hedge
#

yeah solder is bugged

#

i didnt kill him but i found him dead

#

just progressed on

iron flume
#

okay but is that how that quest normally starts?

vital hedge
#

mine started after I talked to lodochka in the bunker

iron flume

Are there more side quest available after zalyssia or is that basically it cuz im really just gonna let it fall and just wait for next playthrough to do it

I didnt get any after getting through the defense, I guess mainly fast travel point + hub

#

Yeah I’ll keep that in mind thx

got the achievement that saved the town went to sphere only to get the radio call they all dead?

I was in here with some people for hours after patch release talking about Zali defense. We were trying everything. I finally gave up and logged off for a few hours. Came back and said "Screw it. Ill just let it fall for this playthrough." Loaded up my save from 2 days ago. Boom. Worked.

I guess there is hope?

Just a thought, but maybe walking away in the middle of the quest could work. Like to the slag heap and then back.

#

So without spoilers can someone confirm if letting Zalissya die has any negative impact on the story, or is it just a world event to pull at the heart strings a bit? Please and thnx

Yo! So this works for the quest to progress: #❔┃side-quests message
But when Gaffer says to go back into the mess hall no dialogue happens. Yet to see if walking out into garbage would still give me the "we dead lol" message

i had the dialogue when everyone walked in

2nd wave doesn't spawn, you can spawn it with the command

Yeah it does

any way to stop hamster from dying to the invisible kill trigger?

he died for me so probably still an ongoing bug

  • use this guide all the way up to step 3;
    https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gz8kia/zalissya_defence_guide_using_uetools/
  • use @urban dew step posted earlier (worked even if you don't get the mission prompt for the monolith attack) 'Walk outside the town, as soon you get the radio message "we are attacked again" walk back in the town, in its center, use command
    XStartQuestNodeBySID E07_SQ01_Spawn_MonoWave1_Squad'
  • kill the monolith or use command XKillNPCInRadius 5000000 -99999999999999999999999999 -1000 (make sure no main NPCs die during the raid)
  • you will get a radio message from Gaffer saying you successfully defended and to go back into the main building for a cut scene
  • soon as you leave town you get a message from Gaffer offering refuge as Zalissya is now safe

Yeah it should be fixed. Atleast the most important problem is.

because this game is a broke pile lmao

To be fair CP2077 was in similar state the best we can do is keep reporting unwanted anomalys

has anyone gotten around the issue with no honor among thieves? I cleared the poi without having the quest and now the quest leads me back to that location, though there are no npcs anymore

restive axle
#

Complacency is what causes this in the firstplace @soft spindle
They could've playtested the major quests, theres no excuse.

Considering Zailyssa has been broken since LAUNCH on nearly EVERY single persons playthrough means they infact did not even playtest it.

Which is unacceptable. And thinking otherwise is just enabling behavior for lazy development practices.

#

Its like the people tooting CP2077's horn on release. That game was fundamentally broken, and saying otherwise is straight copium

#

And yes, nobody is entitled to anything. But BUYERS are entitled to a product that is atleast not broken lol

I didnt play like 4 to 5 Days or so to wait for a Patch for the Zalissya Bug.

I logged in Today and i was at the Point after Defeating the 2nd Wave. (Where most used the UE_Tools to fix the Bug before the Patch)
Now i just tried to run out of the Zone, in a Random Direction to get the Message "Zalissya has fallen, don't come back".

I tried running in different Directions but i didn't even receive a Single Radio Transition - so when i run out to Rostok it's still there the Camp but NO Message over the Radio at all

Does anyone know what to do with Decider riffle if Mytryk Genius (guy giving a quest) is not present at place? It's marked as a quest item and i cannot move it to stash...

rough quiver
# stark anvil i did notice i had to run around and find every last monolith even if they didn'...

I just check the Mission Tasks.

It even says "Killed Monolith Snipers" from one of those Side Quests theres a "❌ "
And on the Objetctive "Kill all Monotlihs attacking Zalissya" its a "➖ "

So seems like after not playing for 5 Days, relogging in directly after the 2nd Wave fixed it for me. I can run out of the Camp i don't even get the message that "YEY WE WON WE GOT IT" - not even the thing "WE LOST" xD

opaque sorrel
#

So did they fix zaliyssa. Because kill monolith snipers was bugged as well. And does hamster still randomly die in the town hall?

#

Because I wanna know if it's worth even bothering with zaliyssa or just ignoring it still

stark anvil
rough quiver
#

So it seems like the Quest was just partially done before the Patch (probably as someone stated that Monolith spawn under the Map / in the Town hall) after the Patch i didn't try to Redo it since it's now "fixed" for me

rough quiver
#

But from now on it seems like (atleast with an Old-Save) it works when u have saved after the 2nd Wave that you can Cross Borders again WITHOUT Failing

stark anvil

and does hamster still randomly die? anyone still report that or nobody bothered restarting jt?

and obviously afaik kill snipers is just bugged. They celebrated that I did it. It was marked as done. Then 2nd wave starts and it's marked as failed. Real nice

So as i said i guess the "Older" Saves with the Quest Already done are already fixed atleast if u didn't played after that Save, but dunno how long it works. - We'll see when the Progress of Main Story etc. goes forward

Yeah after leaving the zone and running back to the town everything seems fine. Town is still there

  1. do all objectives and leave Hamster's objective last
  2. after bribing his guard, speak to Warlock so he doesn't talk about Hamster as if he's dead (unclear if necessary)
  3. run straight for Lyonya, do the objective, come back
  4. defend Zalissya
  5. run away and defend it again
  6. after defense is done, run away (about 300m-500m) so the objective auto-completes itself (not when the radio about Zalissya being safe goes off)
  7. come back to Zalissya and he should be alive

# queen linden <@234932321973698560> i just finished it but hamster isn't alive

damn the only thing i can think of is when paying off the guard hurry and talk to Warlock, then graffer. Then run out of town (to start the fight) Hamster will still be dead. (but he made it all the way inside) Kill the bad guys. The quest might not finish after killing them. If so, then run about 200-400m out of town again. You should get a radio message saying it's safe. Go back and hopefully he will be alive and well. That is what i did atleast.

and the basement door to Hamster is open from the start, but you cant interact with them lmao

stark anvil
#

Think I will do a save and just start the quest from the begaining to see if that fixes anything

urban dew
#

So did someone try to get there before the emission? I already wasted hours yesterday testing it, I am tired ... will just load my savegame in which I made it work pre patch 1.0.2 with commands I think

urban dew
#

I loaded a super old savegame, where I never was in the lesser zone before (after Sirrca mission)

stark anvil
opaque sorrel
#

they should focus on fully fixing missions and not 5% of it

urban dew
#

I might have another savegame in which I was not in Zalyssia and the emission did not occur yet ... let me try to find it

opaque sorrel
#

a bit of a joke the way it's being handled

urban dew
#

I which we could give savegames names.

warm fiber
#

There should be no need to redo the entire quest. Just make sure that during the final stand, you run together with your buddies and** if anyone gets injured** - heal them immediately so they get up. Because the final cut scene which finishes the quest does not activate if not everyone is inside the building, and you can't heal them after the fight is over.

cobalt gate
# restive axle so I guess, PSA just keep redoing it.. over and over.. until it fixes rofl

So uhm... My guy, funny thing.
When you get Hamster, just rush to Warlock before he enters the building. Do all the other side quests.
If the defense doesn't finish, use the UETools console mod and just use the "XKillThemAll" command. This'll kill all enemies but also friendlies.
Leave Zalissya until you get radio message that the town is safe.
Lens is alive. Hamster is alive as well.

My guess is it's borked on our saves because we've saved too close to the town maybe?

stark anvil
#

Some of my guys did die during the fight maybe that is the issue

queen linden
#

yep this mission is still cooked u can't finish it even tho u did everything they have asked for im done.

I found a savegame! pre emission, never been to Zalyssia before. Lets see.

Sorry, which method?

cobalt gate
restive axle
#

Well, it will be a wall of text but ill put what I did, and it took multiple tries.

urban dew
#
  1. go into Lesser Zone BEFORE the first emission after the SIRCCA mission
  2. go in the center of Zalyssia right away, do not wait or do something else, never leave lesser zone after before this mission is completed
  3. go inside the center, as soon you see both groups of monlith fighting (there is one at the backside of the building, one in the front. I had cases in which the backside spawned in already, but the front was still out of "spawning range" or something like that)
  4. then enter the command "XKillNPCInRadius 5000000 -99999999999999999999999999 -1000" without "" to kill all Monlith. DO NOT shoot at anyone. If an NPC dies before that, reload and try again
  5. then go right away inside, the door should be open, Gaffar shoudl talk to you - go through all dialogue with him, then never talk with him again till the very end
  6. talk to the doctor and the bartender, accept their side missions, go outside and talk with the guy in the black leather jacket talking about them standing on the mountain looking at you
  7. never in this quest kill any monolith with guns, always use XKillNPCInRadius 5000000 -99999999999999999999999999 -1000, even when killing the guys in the south at the hut
  8. do all side missions, talk with the bartender, then the doc, then the guy outside - make sure they are happy and talk with Gaffar, get your first reward (the suit)
  9. walk outside of Zalyssia, wait for the radio message that they get attacked, turn around right away
  10. if Monolith spawned, cool. Just dont let any NPC die. kill all, quest should compelte. If they do not spawn, use XStartQuestNodeBySID E07_SQ01_Spawn_MonoWave1_Squad command, then again the kill command to kill all 3 waves coming
  11. then the mission should be completed (hamster still has to die)
static crow
#

This misses the teleportation steps to save the town

#

and keep the NPCs

urban dew
#

nah, that one is only for making sure it worked. you can also just walk to the next zone and come back, it should work.

static crow
#

Alright

urban dew
#

its a quick way of checking "Is everything right"

I think some random loner can die during the mission but a majority need to survive for it to succeed, however that is not a bug but an actual feature lol

Warlock and the medic guy. Also one of the guys outside mentions scouts

lapis whale
#

so we cant save hamster?

cobalt gate
#

It SHOULD resurrect him if you run right back to Warlock immediately after convincing him to join

#

But only once the entire quest is done

stark anvil
#

Yeah Hamster was alive for me at the end of quest. Though not sure if it matters, I didn't loot him

azure lintel
#

I went to Zalyssia and found dead monolith everywhere and the town hall locked up, I think the quest is softlocked

#

I didn't get any radio message about Zalyssia having fallen

static crow
#

Scroll abit up

#

Just talked about it

lapis whale
#

the problem now is that gaffer wont talk to me at the end of the quest

azure lintel
#

This same save also had a problem with me getting into that scientist dude's bunker

stark anvil
#

had same problem, had to run about 200m or so away for radio call. Then went back.

static crow
#

or are you on xbox

azure lintel
#

I didn't wanna do that with the town since it might horribly break shit

#

I figured it was safe for just one conversation with one dude

turbid narwhal
#

JFMC so the dammed is still broken? good loord this is..

static crow
#

Worst thing that happens that you lose traders and a mechanic in the lesser zone

turbid narwhal
#

So basicly you still have to use the console mod
and console commands to fix it

keen moat
#

Worked for me. Didn't use any commands. Hamster died, but idc. Lens should be fine later.

stark anvil
turbid narwhal
#

With 1.0.1 for me Hamster and Ricochet touch the door to the town hall
And they just droped dead
I did save purge to pre-sircaa so I have no way to veirfy if it still happens

lapis whale
#

i couldnt get hamster to revive

#

i think i will just restart the whole game with a new save

open geode
lapis whale
#

he did not revive

okay I just tried to play the mission normally, and it kinda worked, but with a few bugs:

  • its important to go there before the first emission (that bug persists)
  • you need to keep everyone alive, or it fails (at least milk, the exo stalker and everyone giving you errands, and anyone who would "talk" during Gaffars last speech)
  • somehow I got NO radio message, that Zalyssia got attacked again, but the mission popped up again. Then monolith started spawning on me, even when I was like 800 meters away from the town
  • then inside the town I fought the waves normalley, that worked, as long nobody died
  • Hamster is still dead
  • i could teleport to swamp and back in, Zalyssia was saved
  • I had a bug also, that all friendly npcs despawned, but then suddenly spawned back in when Gaffar talked lol
  • still it put a random gun in my hands in slot 4 when the attack started

i couldnt get gaffer to do the las speech , ijust go out of town and the mission completes and then i get a message from him that zalyssa is safe

stark anvil
lapis whale
#

milk died

urban dew
#

milk needs to survive

#

he says something during that speech

lapis whale
#

broke af mission

pseudo agate
#

well i finished it

#

only one dying was hamster

stark anvil
#

ok done the quest a few more times now. The only time i kept hamster alive was to not be there for the speech.

#

but who knows think im gonna run it another time

#

Managed to save the town, Hammy's still dead but I am done messing with this quest, RIP you greedy bastard 🪦

golden vine
#

omg! I just logged in (after i had failed Zalyssia defence in the past) and i was welcomed by message that it was defended!! :))

#

very nice patch

#

nvm he also tells me to never go back there again XD

lean summit
urban dew
#

so YES, Hamster stays dead. Even when you pay the 6k

#

i dont have that - i killed Solder first time i met him

THE HAMPTER PATCH

static crow
#

More like rat considering his prices

rough glade
#

no its not

#

should use some trick to revive him

lean summit
#

I loaded for the first time today in rostock after zal and now gaffer is mad at me lol. Guess the town is alive but defaulted like I'm an enemy to them now

minor solstice
#

im gonna check by myself, i stopped doing the quest before talking to hamster and gaffer

rough glade
lapis whale
#

anyone knows who has to be alive for the final speech?

#

because the objective of defending zalyssa is not complete but i have killed all monolith

#

Am I better of letting zalissya go I've tried going back saves from 10 minutes too 30 minutes nothing is working

weary dome
#

oh boi i also just get to that stage

#

u can try sleeping then wake up to see if cutscence trigger

#

Im just not getting let in the building and no monolith spawning

Zalissya is not worth the headache and time in my opinion

weary dome
#

during last wave can u try get in the building & wait till it finish?

median quest
#

Zalissya fix or not?

rough glade
#

Not fixed yet. But you can solve any problem without using console command or anything

lean summit
#

I had the markers showing where all the monolith were attacking so that went smoothly but it's just the queue for it to mark it as finished that's bugged at this point I think

glass parcel
#

I haven't been able to get any monolith to spawn so imma just head to rostok

lean summit
#

Just loaded up the original save in rostok. It fails then completes lol

#

So safe to say Gaffer is being a silly goose rn

glass parcel
#

Gaffers told me to not come back so I ain't 🤣

weary dome
#

the hardest part in the quest is me getting 5 fps while trying to snipe those aimbots

lean summit
#

Same. Said he's disappointed in me. Only real reason I have to go to the lesser zone is to go to the poppy field for the blue flower anyway so no big issue on my end

#

Gaffer needs to learn the ways of freedom n chill a lil bit man lol

lapis whale
#

fixed it

#

you have to keeep almost all of them alive

jade raft
#

does anyone know how long it takes before you get the psi suit from the technician in icarus? (from the side hustle quest)

vernal vortex
#

does anyone know what to do for the monolith attack on zalissya side quest? i got calls from gaffer just after taking the emitter from the sphere but i cant find any people in zali and the door to the building where everyone is in is locked.

#

there is some gunshot noises from one of the entrances to zali but there are no people over there, just gunshot noises

Hello. I have a question regarding Deceive the Deceiver.
I rescued Akopyan, picked up the gun, showed it to Zakhar, escorted him, waited for him to pay me and killed him. Now I have failed mark on Escort Zakhar, grey mark on Kill Zakhar (which I did) and Akopyan is nowhere to be found.

vernal vortex
static crow
vernal vortex
#

but there could always be a case of quest npc bugged for the Nth time

static crow
#

I failed it too a while ago, if you want to complete it you need to wait for Zakhar to give you the reward and then shoot him and his goons

timid glen
#

That's what I did though

static crow
#

Did the escort goal go green?

#

You might need to wait a little longer

timid glen
#

Well he's dead now so I can't do anything with it

static crow
#

Did you save beforehand?

vernal vortex
#

just reload saves and keep killing Zkahar until Akopyan is satisfied ig? :P

timid glen
#

Problem is that was many saves ago

static crow
#

I still got it in my quest logs too lol, move on from it

#

Not worth the trouble

timid glen
#

Also what I am supposed to do with No Honor Among Thieves? I am supposed to talk to the brood bandits but the house is locked and there is nobody inside

#

Few dead bodies inside

static crow
#

Climb into the house

#

Check around the building, there should be an access by the roof

#

A tree iirc?

timid glen
#

ok, thanks

vernal vortex
#

nah its the excavator if you are talking about the mission i think you are talking about

#

you gotta go through the red shipping containers next to it

#

and then jump onto the excavator to go into the hole in the roof

timid glen
#

Found it. Thanks

static crow
#

Glad to help

#

Oh oops I was wrong

#

😭

#

Too many roof entries to keep track off

vernal vortex
#

that mission was confusing as hell for me as well

#

like "ah yes to get onto this excavator i need to go through these shipping containers which conveniently have a hole in the roof"

#

is there any way of fixing the monolith attack on zalissya? i have tried reloading my save but every time i get into zali there is nobody there and the main hall building is locked.

#

all i hear is ghost gunfire coming from the entrances into zalissya

#

cant even start the side activity

minor solstice
#

Is there any way to revive Hamster? He is still dying Sadge

i just have a load of guns from the sphere i want to dump and both the stash and hampter are locked behind that damned door that not even shotgun shells can breach

just realised that i hadnt installed the 1.0.2 patch to see if that fixes it but the patch notes only mentions fixing the second wave

#

The side quest after sicra events is still bugged. Anyone fps seem bad now after 2nd patch?

kind bear
#

Anyone know Lex the Legend's ||2nd location in swamp||?

novel furnace
#

So I figured out a work around for the mission, kinda sucks you have to do this but if its the only way because its not fixed then it is what it is.

vernal vortex
#

i was just contemplating downloading a mod so i could use a command console to phase through the door

novel furnace
#

Youll have to download the UETools mod to allow you to use the console

#

lmao exactly what I just did

vernal vortex
#

the single brain cell the zone has given us

novel furnace
#

I didnt the ghost command and as soon as I passed thru it did the quest but the door remains locked so have the use the Ghost and Walk command when going in and out im assuming until something triggers it

#

c conscious lol

vernal vortex
#

was hoping to save modding until 2nd playthorugh but if reloading the game doesnt work im probs gonna have to download UETools

novel furnace
#

I have tried everything honestly and finally just did this. But as soon as I am done with this quest im deleting the mod.

vernal vortex
#

me stragling the life out of gaffer because he refuses to open the door for me

Anybody know of a sidequest in the cooling towers area that starts with a radio conversation between a pvt Tryhub and maj. Rodetsky? Every time their conversation starts, my game freezes partway through

drifting cedar
novel furnace
#

BUT its with the command console. You can use "XStartQuest E07_SQ01" that will start the monolith attack and unlock the door after you kill them all. But that way and the Ghost way both kill them, but nothing happens no one reacts or anything

rapid current
#

There might be a way to resurrect him with console commands but i don't think it's possible on xbox

novel furnace
#

Maybe, trying to find that right now. If thats possible that would be awesome

#

Either way is fine with me the only problem I had with it being broke is losing Zalissya

drifting cedar
#

what even kills them? like what kinda coding error creates this problem

novel furnace
#

I have no idea I thought it could be maybe them touching the door but even with the door open as soon as they cross they just drop

rapid current
drifting cedar
#

huh

#

have the fixed the felling of zaliyassa yet?

i orginially thought the stalkers killed them cause i left before seeing it, but that didnt make sense as i paid the guy to protect the place

ive already completed the quest just dont wanna leave the area before they fix that lol

they did some thing with the quest cause the stalkers that were awkwardly standing out front now moved to proper places

Im working on completing the quest right now, will let yall know what happens on my end.

# obtuse iron I did as well but no enemy’s spawn

You got a Save thats after the 2nd Wave Defense? Where u got into the Town Hall and he said "Yey, we all did it - Zalissya is great - blah blah" like the Wining-Scene ?

Thats what worked for me (Completed before Patch but didnt played till Today after those 2 Patches)

drifting cedar
#

this quite annoying as i want to play the game but I cant move on from this mission, found out hard way its a time based mission and i lost like 1-2 hours of gameplay

Any way to make "Deceive the Deceiver" quest work? Did the whole thing only to find out the quest giver just died right at the spot where I left him.

vernal vortex
#

so after downloading the 1.0.2 patch and reloading a save before entering zalissya, some of the stalkers (foreigner bob & milk) are now chilling outside of the hall but the door is still locked

novel furnace
#

Ok just finished the quest got the achivement about to walk out of town will let you know what happens

pulsar lake
#

FELLAS i still need help, no monolith in zalissya or in the main building, if i do reset quest and go take richocet and hamster they die on contact with the doors, what do i do?

pulsar lake
vernal vortex
#

as cold said before currently the only ways we know to be able to start the quest is downloading UETools and ghosting through the door or using the command "XStartQuest E07_SQ01"

drifting cedar
#

why does the door ONLY kill hamster and ricochet every other stalker is fine?

pulsar lake
#

i tried both startquest and resetquest, the richochet and hamster dying part still persists

drifting cedar
#

very odd bug

vernal vortex
#

well if hamster takes after his namesake then maybe you opened the door too hard and caused him to die of fear

drifting cedar

#

any way to save hamster yet? lol
