How do I complete the Taking Independence quest?
Maybe I jumped the gun and now I cannot figure out how to complete the mission "Taking Independence". I discovered the "Quest objectives" (shown below), however I found this out after I did everything but talk to Preston Garvey. What I did was just go to the "Castle" and do the items that I have checked with an X below. The map shows "Cleared".
Is the issue that I did the quest out of order? How do I complete this mission?
Quest objectives:
- Meet with the Minutemen near the Castle ( I did NOT find them?)
- Plan the attack - X
- Take the courtyard - X
- Destroy the eggs - X
- Kill the Mirelurk Queen - X
- Power up the radio transmitter - X
- Talk to Preston Garvey ( I never saw him at the "Castle" only the Sanctuary)
Best Answer
There is a small diner near the castle where the Minutemen wait for you. Fallout wikia describes it like so:
Garvey is waiting for you in a destroyed Sullivan's west of the Castle with three other Minutemen.
If you never found them, they're probably still there waiting for you.
There are some potentially useful supplies in there as well.

To solve this, just send him away to Sanctuary and meet him there, he will start talking about the Castle. This be fixed by using the killall command. Another option is to disable mods (especially Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch), then reload to previous save and retake The Castle.Fallout 4: Taking Independence - Quest Walkthrough (Trophy/Achievement)
