Looking for the "raiders Boss"

[katrina.balanchuk]

My female character fell under the control of a raider in Boston who figured out how to use her shockcollar.

After many misadventures for her he tells her to go to "the boss".

But where is he.?

 

The marker put out on the map in my pip boy is in the middle of nowhere and there as nothing there for me to find (except a misadventure with a really friendly deathclaw.)

I expected him to be in Boston.

 

I looked all around that marker, found a forest, a commentary and recycling center with supermutants ( whom I avoided)

Should he not be in a major city and not the middle of nowhere?

 

When he told me to "go see the Boss' It made me think of the "Raiders Pet" mod that I installed but as far as I know never got to work and it does not show up in my mod control list.

Anyhow any tips?

That is certainly Raider Pet.  The marker should point you to the boss.  If the boss wasn't there, maybe he died?  But that *should* end the quest.  Another way to end the quest is to equip a weapon, which will give you the Black Widow perk.

OP is describing my first experience with Raider Pet perfectly, so here's what I think is happening.

 

My first time playing as a Raider Pet, I left vault 111 and went west, to a very small raider camp north of Abernathy Farm. This camp has no "boss", meaning an NPC that is higher level or uniquely named. So, after messing around there for a few in-game days, one of the raiders tells me "The Boss" wants to see me, and a little quest began. I followed the marker that was created, and ended up at the Robotics Pioneer Park. Robotics Pioneer Park is a location that doesn't have Raiders. It's populated by feral ghouls and a wandering Deathclaw. It was at about this point that I noticed the quest marker was actually showing up about a meter under the ground.

 

It would appear that this particular location was wrongly added to the Raider Pet mod based on bad information from the Wikia. There, it states that Robotics Pioneer Park was a target for a Rust Devils scavenging op, but they mostly got wiped out by the Mechanist's robots. This is where Jezebel is captured, beheaded, and leads into the second-to-last Automatron quest.

 

TL;DR:

• To fix this currently, go back to a save before the raider told you to meet the boss. That should force the mod to cycle through possible targets again, and hopefully choose a location that is actually populated by Raiders and has an NPC acting as a boss.
• To avoid this in the future, make sure you're captured at a raider camp with a local boss. Any of the named raider boss camps work. I usually hit up Corvega Assembly Plant, since that's actually baked into the Raider Pet story. However, any large raider camp will work as long as there's a named NPC there.
