If this quest is active at the same time as Under the Collar, it is possible that the two quests will target the same NPC. If this happens, the NPC will be set to essential to allow attaching the shock collar to them, as per Under the Collar, therefore making this quest unable to be completed since they cannot be killed. This problem can be resolved on PC by opening the console and entering SetObjectiveCompleted DLC04_RQ_KillRivalBoss 10 1 and then SetStage DLC04_RQ_KillRivalBoss 100.
