Issue #29340: Misc: Kill the Hagraven Petra

 
Upon killing Petra, Melka continues to stand around waiting, and the quest marker is still attached to Petra's dead body. This happens both if the player is the one to kill Petra, or if Melka lands the killing blow.

Testing Process:
  1. Started new character, minor customization (Orc Female to match what was played when bug was encountered)
  2. Selected "Camping In Woods" start from ASLAL
  3. When loaded into Tamriel worldspace, opened console, used tmm 1
  4. Fast-traveled to Karthwasten
  5. (save 3) - Ran along road to reach Blind Cliff Cave
  6. (save 4) - Cleared through cave and exited into Tamriel worldspace, in tower
  7. (save 5) - Cleared through tower and stopped at Blind Cliff Bastion
  8. (save 6) - Entered Blind Cliff Bastion, walking up and stopping just before Melka's cage
  9. Moved forward to activate Melka's dialog, choosing second option, first option, first option. (You must not know orcs very well, etc)
  10. Released Melka from cage
  11. Allowed Melka to lead the way through area until "Parlor", where she stops on her own
  12. (save 7) - Saved in front of door to next hallway
  13. Opened door, killed enemy. Melka begins to lead again
  14. (save 8) - Engaged in fight with Petra and lackey forsworn. Managed to get Petra and Melka into position that allows for multiple endings to fight
  15. (save 9) - Wittled Petra down to almost dead. At this point, you can either keep shooting her until she's dead, or move a bit/let her shuffle around until Melka is almost to get finishing blow
  16. (save 10) - Petra is dead. In this save I landed the killing blow, but result was the same if Melka finished her during testing.

Thanks for the detailed report and save files. With those I was able to track this down to a mistake made in USSEP 4.1.4. I had set the death scripts on both Petra and Melka to check for stage 11 of the quest having been done, without realizing that Bethesda cut off stage 11 from ever being called anywhere. They changed the initial scene to start with the quest itself, which only sets stage 10 at the beginning. So even if you let Melka out and took her with you, progression would stop upon killing Petra because the alias wanted stage 11 done before closing things out in stage 100. This should all now be corrected to check for stage 10 and allow things to happen normally.

As a side note, stage 200 has been updated to clear the objective to kill Petra if you kill Melka before getting there since it will get stuck in the log otherwise.

This fix will not be retroactive for PS4 users.
