The Mistress of Mysteries questlinehas been inFallout 76since the beginning. And, while it is a very interesting story, some have had issues around the mission getting stuck.While this didn’t happen all that often, those who were affected by this weren’t able to complete the quest.

6Scorchbeasts And The Scorchbeast Queen Sonic Blast Reduction
No More Constant Bombardment
