How to fix the Dying Light 2 Black Window quest bug

Dying Light 2 was just released and tons of users are exciting about all of its post-apocalyptic survival scenarios set, in a world full of zombies and dangers.

Even if it brings up some of the most impressive stories and features, it seems like in some cases, the user’s experience has not been the best.

One of the most annoying related reported problems is the Dying Light 2 Black Window quest bug. This is how players describe it on some of the most popular gaming forums:

I think I’m stuck… (Help pls)!

So I’m doing the Black Widow side quest and I got to the point where I need to protect Josh, and he died. I turned the power back on and now I can’t talk to Josh, fast travel or open the door to leave. How do I get out?

Need help with Black Widow quest from PKs (PS5)!

Currently bugged in the quest step where you talk to Josh after protecting him but Josh died and never respawned. Tried everything from restarting the app to reinstalling to no avail, my last hope is to complete the quest with someone else and maybe it’ll update mine or something but it’s my only hope other than waiting for a patch.

When it occurs, players are encountering a glitch that gets them stuck or unable to progress this quest.

Since its release, Dying Light 2 has already received many bug patch notes, but it still seems like users are struggling with this issue.
