main quest softlock bug #12311
Description
Describe the bug
I on quest "the enemy of my enemy" and I can't complete the rescue objective because the green castle has been completed beforehand so I got softlocked
To Reproduce
Just defeat a castle boss before the quest begins
Expected behavior
For a way to check if the boss was defeated like a servant npc complaining, a switch to check the rescue part or by just owning the key

From reading the code (not tested in game), this is the same bug as #9084, closed as stale without a fix.
The "Rescue the ... Captive" stages (
Shandalar/world/quests.jsonL11177-11179) wait for a QuestFlagCh1<Color>CastleComplete.AdventureQuestStage.javaL361-363 only completes them from a QUESTFLAG event while the stage is active, so a flag set earlier is ignored.green_castle.tmxL73-74 opens the gate without the mainQuest flag, and the boss dialog ingreen_castle_f1.tmxL50/L60 sets the flag and deletes the boss.AdventureQuestData.javaL234-239 only resetsisDungeon()POIs, andDUNGEON_TYPES(PointOfInterestData.javaL84) has no "castle", so #12429 doesn't cover this.Checking the existing flag when the stage starts, or resetting castles too, would avoid this.
I used an AI coding agent (Claude Code) to help trace this.
