Quest Stages

• Enter the Glowing Sea: Journey into the irradiated wasteland to locate Virgil.

Notes

• Destroying any of Virgil’s defenses prior to returning with the serum will result in quest failure upon completion.
• Due to high radiation levels, waiting using furniture in the crater area is not possible.
• Mother Isolde’s death can cause the quest marker to be stuck on her for the remainder of the quest.

Bugs

• Sometimes, upon entering the cave, Virgil may not be present, with the marker indicating the ground. This issue may arise if the cave was visited prior to the quest.
• On PC, using console commands can sometimes resolve this issue by forcing Virgil to appear in the cave.
