    Hi, I've run into a bug where in the Bitter Wounds quest, I am instructed to kill 13 slaver bandits, however, I can only kill 12 as the last quest marker appears to be in the ground. I've tried using console commands to force myself onto the Thalmor ship, however, Aerandil is not there, just a marker above where he should be. Going to the next stage after that, I can talk to Val and go to the Thalmor Prison but again, Aerandil is not there. I've tried using PRID <REFID>, after finding it using "save funclist 1" but I keep getting the message "Invalid ObjectReference" so there's no way for me to progress. Is there any way to fix this or is my game forever stuck here?

      I've got it too, inside the cave there is a bandit with a ghost effect that, when killed, does not count towards the quest objective.

      I got stuck here too but I managed to find a fix for it. Open the console and type:
      getstage balokbitterwounds
      It will give you the stage number. Should be 110 or 111. Then type:
      setstage balokbitterwounds 111 or 112
      Just +1 of the initial stage number you got with the first command.

      Have same problem, and solved by reloading the game just before entering the cave (save often). On second time, last two bandits were both available for killing

    old thread but I'm stuck so hoping for some ideas

    I'm playing sse vr (one of the wabbajack builds). Have tried a number of times (ship first, cave first) and get to the part where the slave asks me to run outside and make sure the coast is clear np but whenever I try to exit the cave after that dialogue....CTD. Setstage works for 111 and 112 but I still can't get out of the cave. Using  setstage 120 (or higher) also crashes the game. :(

    Any ideas?

    PS- Sorry for not replying properly. Now I can't see how to move it down or delete it.

      hey, id pin it down to a load order bug messing with the high elf needing to spawn outside the cave after. had an issue with that scene, thats what ive gathered
