    Yeah, every person before you said the same thing and was proven wrong. So... im going to stick to the assumption that you arent doing it right as you have provided no details to the contrary. And look at that! One post before yours in this very thread someone listed not only a kill order for the NPCs, but a tip to make the most important part of the fight(channeling the aether blade) easier. We all agree that this fight could have been designed better, but it is perfectly clearable as is. And who knows. Theyve been updating bits and pieces of the MSQ as they go. This patch might be looked at again via the 6.3 patch in 4ish months. It COULD be improved. But again, it doesnt need to be fixed. Cause it aint broke.

    It's actually a really easy quest. You just have to pay attention and put a little effort into your attempts. The aether draw point is the only non-NPC you can target in the fight. Just tab on through.

    I have just dug this post up because I am on my 7th try and still can't do this terrible quest. Even when it's supposedly my turn and someone isn't hitting me I can't activate the sword no matter where I click. I think the dev's need to fix this quest as it seems hit and miss and with it being a MSQ it should work properly.

    I just did it a week ago on my latest alt. Had no problems completing the duty.

    It's not broken, it seems to be more a misunderstanding by some players about what is supposed to happen.

    You're only going to be able to click when you see "Blade of Light" appear. If the name does not show, you won't be able to channel your aether. Alisaie will call for more aether a few seconds before the name will appear.

    Remember that it is a channel, not a simple click and run. It takes about 5 seconds to complete the channel. Interrupt it before it's done and you have to start over.

    If you can't get it targeted and interact with a mouse click, use your Confirm keybind (default is NUM0 on a standard keyboard, handy trick for interacting with any object/NPC in an area crowded with players or enemy NPCs). You need to make sure you don't have anything else targeted, you are in range and directly facing it, and that there are no Scions standing between you and the Blade of Light. Press your Confirm key once to target the Blade then a second time to start channeling.

    Hope this helps if you haven't already completed the duty.

    Theres nothing to fix because, again, it isnt broken. It will work the first time you do it correctly provided you dont die during the fighting. If you have object nameplates hidden, turn them on for this instance. If you need to tab through targets or use controller target cycling, do it. The aether blade youre powering up is forming a couple feet in front of Alissaie.

    this shouldve been "fixed" long ago. ppl defending the design of this quest, for what?? all the complaints are completely valid. the "fix" is make the interactable object more visible. is that hard?

    The interactable object is the front the aether field around Alisaie. It is the only one, and it works like any other interactable object in any other place. Quite literally just go stand next to the Elezen girl who is surrounded by white-blue aether that takes up half of the entire battlefield. Sheathe your weapon and tab or press X until you interact with the Blade of Light, and let the cast bar fill completely. Easy. It couldn't be anymore visible. And the NPCs go to near the same spot when they do it, too.

    The hang up is players not paying attention, sorry not sorry.

    Stupid quest, doing damage, no Aether, doing heal no Aether. Seems to be random with the Aether but not enough to finish.
    Sadly this is a campaign quest. So far all quests in the campaign had been more or less nicely done, but this one is garbage.

    Worked now after several trys, did it with heal and damage. But still just random appear of the Aether at Alisea, so i cant give any help to other players who have the same problem. Please rename this quest to random success.
