Boethiah's arena fighters become unkillable after you kill the priestess

Daedric questsQuest-breakingPrevention only

What happens

If you kill the Priestess of Boethiah before talking to Boethiah, one or two of the cultists fighting in the arena may become unkillable, and the quest can get stuck.

PS5-safe fix

No console-free fix is documented; UESP only lists PC console commands. Reload a save from before you killed the priestess and talk to Boethiah first.

Prevention

Talk to the priestess and follow the sacrifice route, or at least don't kill the priestess before Boethiah has spoken to you.

Always make a hard save before trying a fix.
