Shadow of Steel

Shadow of Steel is a Brotherhood of Steel main quest in Fallout 4.

Detailed walkthrough
After observing a huge Brotherhood of Steel airship pass overhead, the Sole Survivor's Pip-Boy radio receives a transmission. Listen to it for further instructions before heading to the Cambridge Police Station and following Paladin Danse to the roof.

After a short Vertibird flight to the Brotherhood of Steel's flagship, the Prydwen, disembark onto the flight deck and meet Lancer Captain Kells.

The Sole Survivor is ordered to attend an address being given by Elder Maxson. Speak to Maxson afterwards. Regardless of the earlier rank in the Brotherhood, Maxson now bestows the title of knight on the Sole Survivor and a new suit of power armor, which can be found in bay 3 of the main deck.

Nick Valentine dialogue

 * When speaking to Paladin Danse at the beginning of the quest
 * Diplomacy : "It sure as hell ain't gonna be taken as a gesture of good faith from the other forces in the Commonwealth."
 * Provoking War : "No one brings that much firepower without plans to use it." [Valentine liked that.]
 * Who is Maxson? : Valentine will call Maxson a lunatic.
 * Quick War : Valentine will ask "Yeah, for who?" [Valentine disliked that.]

Hancock dialogue

 * Diplomacy : "Ain't no one in the Commonwealth wondering about your intentions now."
 * Provoking War : "Folks don't usually appreciate having a floating fortress blocking their view."
 * Quick War : "Sure know how to make an entrance, I'll give you that."

Piper dialogue

 * Diplomacy : Piper will exclaim "What have you done?"
 * Provoking War : "You're right. There's no way this doesn't lead to more death." [Piper liked that.]
 * Who is Maxson? : "He's a dangerous man, that's what he is."
 * Quick War : "You two can't be that naive. That thing, it's just gonna escalate everything. You can't honestly believe it will stem the bloodshed?" [Piper disliked that.]

Bugs

 * If you did not complete Call to Arms before the Prydwen appears after Reunions, this will trigger a glitch where Brotherhood Vertibird patrol teams will not spawn correctly.
 * If an NPC clips through Paladin Danse while you are reporting to him, the dialogue options may disappear and cannot be pulled back up. When you try to talk to him again, he will only say "I'll be in the mess hall if you need me. Good luck with Maxson," making the quest impossible to complete, and will leave you unable to talk to most of the other Brotherhood of Steel members. Dismissing any companions before talking to Danse may fix the issue.
 * If you do not leave via the elevator, the Shadow of Steel quest won't trigger. You need to exit through the elevator door.
 * This quest will show up before Reveille in the completed section of your quest log, even if you received it afterwards.
 * The Vertibird may not take off of the Cambridge police station roof, and Danse may talk as if the Vertibird is in the air. Using console command will allow the quest to progress.
 * If you have completed Far Harbor missions prior to starting this quest then you will be unable to complete the "Speak to Lancer Captain Kells" objective, as the moment you approach, the miscellaneous "Inform the BoS about the synth refuge" dialogue will automatically be triggered (trying to end that dialogue will just cause it to retrigger). Leaving the location and returning should fix it.
 * If you've completed the Hunter/Hunted quest (where you kill the courser), it may cause the cell (a few blocks in all directions of Greenetech Genetics) to be bugged so that when entering that area, you cause the game to crash. It doesn't matter which direction you approach from.
 * On the ground, determine the exact threshold, then save, then turn around, look straight at the ground and move backwards (looking at the ground). This may get you past this bug (on the ground) but if you enter any building in that bugged area, you cannot exit via the door; you must COC RedRocketExt. However in the quest Shadow of Steel, when you fly in the vertibird, when you reach this cell it will crash so you can never reach the Prydwen blimp. Do not mark the quest Shadow of Steel as active. Instead go to the airport and jet up to one of the 6 appendages of the blimp (where the vertibirds dock). If you have no jet (yet), then fly up (TCL console command) and drop on the end of the vertibird dock. You will then get the "Discovered Prydwen" message. If you see the captain standing in the distance, the next task is to talk to him. If you've done missions at Far Harbor you are forced to reveal the location of the synths and DiMA. To bypass your talk with the captain, use the console command: setstage bos201 120. This will then direct you to go inside the Prydwen blimp and talk to the boss who is holding a meeting. Do not COC to the Prydwen blimp as this will disable your ability to fast travel anywhere, any time (in short - you're not able do do anything more in the game requiring fast travel - including going to the institute).
