Head back to the Missy and go to the quarters downstairs. Picklock the door to Elena’s room and open the basket in the back.

In the night, I always got “Please Wait” when I try to talk to the girl at the bar. I cannot continue this side quest…Anyone knows a workaround?
This is also happening to me. Very frustrating.
Same here..wth
Same issue here, Please wait every time
If you choose to help elena youll have to go to plague witch, she will tell you to get some reagents from cathedral and tell you its antibiotics and not poison. then you go to elenas cell on the ship where you prove get the choice to drink the antibiotics to prove elenas innocence(2k xp for parkour and combat)
Elena gets arrested regardless which option you choose, it’s more a case like, she hates you less and actually asks you for help rather than her cursing you if you tell them she has poison.
Im curious is there a continueation of her story or is there only that one.
(If all ends well in that quest, she turns over a new leaf to do more “Green” work she says. But she ends up leaving the fish eye cus everyone knows her.)
When you talk to Josh and the fuses blow, you can actually farm the virals that spawn from the one single hole in the corner. Grab a strong weapon (dlc weapon) or kick them while they’re crawling out. Josh will deal with the other zombies most of the time. After a couple minutes, the virals will stop spawning. Let the biters kill Josh and this part of the quest resets, but the loot will stay. Happy uncommon trophy hunting without the nasty volatiles ruining your day!
