This has to be one of the most annoying bugs that really ruin your gameplay experience, which is not being able to turn in 3 quests on the planet you helped restore.  I can't turn in the following:

Task:  Gone Dark

Task:  Catch and Release

Task:  Clearing the Air

For each of these, I've found at least one of the needed things (scanned corpse, hacked a kett terminal, etc.).  But afterwards, I have not been able to find any of the rest.  There are no navpoints showing on my map.  I've followed Youtube vids and seen where the various spawn points are for these (they are random) - no luck.  At ANY of the locations.

Anyone know of a way to brute force this so I finally clear these out?  Its a pet peeve of mine to have unfinished side quests at a location, especially if they are quests which I've done everything I can to finish, but which game-breaking bugs stop me from progressing.

If it makes a difference, here are the following things I've done at Voeld:

-Already at 100% viability

-Activated the Monoliths and the Voeld Vault

-(SPOILER) Found the ancient AI and handed it over to the Angarans

-Rescued the Moshae and other prisoners

-Destroyed the main Voeld Kett base.

-Fought the Remnant Architect

-Founded Taerve Uni outpost

Since I finished the main quests for Voeld, is that why the game won't let me turn in the side quests anymore?  It would make no sense, since even after their main base is destroyed, the Kett still have a significant presence on Voeld.

Anyone else having this issue?

  • I definitely ran into a point during the main questline when none of these would spawn anywhere, and the kett camps were entirely empty as well. Eventually it was fixed and I could finish them all and turn them in. (If you go through 3-4 camps and nothing turns up, you're probably in the same situation that I was.)

    believe the fix in my case was to progress with the main mission past a certain point. IIRC, I returned the Moshae to Aya, then finished A Trail of Hope and perhaps Hunting the Archon as well. It may have been taking HtA up through landing on Kadara, or it might have even been as late as retrieving the transponder on Kadara and speaking to Gil afterwards. Try progressing in stages and checking back to see if these tasks start spawning again.

    Also don't despair if you run into a bug with an angaran bug (bad pun unavoidable). Several people, including myself, have found one angaran bug (in my case, the third one) unscannable despite chirping and despite SAM's instruction to scan it. Saving and reloading made it disappear for me, since they're randomly generated, but I found another one at the second camp that I crashed afterwards, where it scanned properly and continued the quest.

    Good luck!
