Why isn't the story progressing?

The most common progression problems and what to check first.

No new objective marker

Check prerequisite quests

Can't cross or reach an area

Check traversal ability

The quest asks you to defeat more Resonants

Open the Resonant checklist

Quest marker disappeared

Check known issues

An area is inaccessible

Check the route and ability gate

No marker?

Plan of Attack doesn't progress like a normal single-objective quest. You need to finish its linked progression requirements first.
