WHY PLAYERS GET STUCK
The quest does not trigger if Silas is spared, bribed, or merely given Scrap. After killing him, return to New Harbor for Alicia's quest; even without accepting it there, speaking to the children in Cronley's Hideout can start it.
WALKTHROUGH
- 1Kill Silas to satisfy the prerequisite
- ▸Take Paying Tributes from Alicia in New Harbor.
- ▸Choose the dialogue path that leads to killing Silas, defeat him, and report back to Alicia.
- ▸Return to New Harbor after the retaliation state loads, such as after changing sessions, and accept Alicia's plea to rescue the children.
- 2Find the children in Cronley's Hideout
- ▸Enter Cronley's Hideout from the Four Hills and proceed toward its deepest section.
- ▸Pass through Darius Cronley's boss room and enter the area immediately beyond it.
- ▸Find Oscar Jr. and Judith locked in cages at the back.
- 3Send both children to Devil's Crossing
- ▸Speak to the children at the cages.
- ▸The conversation automatically opens a safe rift, sending both children to Devil's Crossing.
- ▸Confirm that the objective changes to checking on them in Devil's Crossing.
- 4Report to Oscar Jr. on the prison's upper level
- ▸Return to Devil's Crossing and go to the upper level of the prison.
- ▸Find the children near Constance, Alex, and Jane.
- ▸Speak to Oscar Jr. to complete the quest and receive 1,500 / 8,000 / 22,000 XP by difficulty.
STILL LOST?
The cages are not before Cronley's arena; they are immediately beyond his boss room. After the rescue, the children are not near the entrance to Devil's Crossing but upstairs in the prison near Constance.
There is no time limit, but the prerequisite choice makes the quest unavailable on that difficulty unless Silas is killed. After killing him, the quest can also start by speaking to the caged children without first accepting it from Alicia. No DLC is required.
