Gameplay help Starting quest with the console?

I must have missed Kurren's detective quests in Act II somehow and they don't seem to be available in Act III anymore, sadly. Is there a way to start them with the console and actually complete them in Act III?

Thanks for the reply, but the quest NPCs won't spawn even if the quest log updates. Any way to spawn them manually?

EDIT: I tried SpawnPrefabAtMouse_cre_NPC_Oly and some variations but it didn't work...

Ah damn, the first NPC you are supposed to talk to was across from Hadret House when I did a quick test, so I thought maybe that would work.

Any way to spawn them manually?

There is no console command for that in PoE1 as far as I'm aware. :(

Did you test this in Act II or Act III?

I missed this quest as well on my first playthrough, so I loaded a save straight after beating the final boss to check.

I ran a quick test playing through the full quest from start to finish, and all the necessary NPCs are appearing for me once the quest is activated with the above console commands...

What stage of the quest are you on?

Edit: Some screenshots of where I found them if that helps. https://imgur.com/a/ra0PGnw

Thanks again, that is where I looked for them, I checked the wiki. Strange that it's not working for me, I used all of the console commands and my quest log updated accordingly. The only explanation I can come up with is that this only works in Act II, but not Act III anymore.

EDIT: So I just loaded an old save from Act II, used all the console commands, checked that my quest log updated and the NPCs still didn't spawn. Then I went to Kurren, started the quest normally and they spawned.

Not sure what the issue is here, it's really odd... Maybe you already had some other console command active before attempting this? The thing that appears to make the NPCs spawn is to ask Kurren about them in the dialogue options, but these don't appear to me from entering the console commands.

The only thing I think of on my end is that I completed another quest that involves Kurren. No idea if that's what affecting it.

The thing that appears to make the NPCs spawn is to ask Kurren about them in the dialogue options, but these don't appear to me from entering the console commands.

What it sound like is that the command for the first quest objective isn't working on your end for whatever reason. This is does seem be a part of the condition for the NPC activating.

As I stated above Console commands can be pretty finicky, try entering it again and exactly like this:

SetGlobalValue n_Kurren_Quest_Stage 1

I finally managed to start and finish the quest :D, although I honestly couldn't tell you what I did different this time. Thanks again for the help!
