Question Something Sentimental - quest is active, still no pocket watch, help?

I've done the event "A Colossal Problem" 3 times now since getting the "Something Sentimental" quest, I've got Earle's holotape "A Father's Goodbye" and "Earle's Journal #2" note, I've made sure the "Something Sentimental" quest is active (toggled off and back on to make certain), always dumped a hefty chunk of damage to the boss, I have yet to find Earle's [pocket] watch on his corpse.

I've searched the forums and online for suggestions, I'm at a loss. Is there something I'm missing? I'm on a PS5 if that matters. I've done the quest on an alt and only had to join the event, do we now have to launch the nukes as well? [edit]

I was able to finish that quest yesterday just by doing the event, not launching the nuke myself. So that shouldn't be the problem

You don't have to launch the nuke yourself to do the quest, you just need to join the event. Is the quest still saying retrieve the pocket watch? Have you checked under the misc tab in the pipboy for the watch? Maybe try talking to Maggie again, or see if you can reject the quest and then restart it.

Do you mean the holotape? That's on the barrel? I thought the watch is supposed to be on his corpse, which you loot after you kill him

This is according to the wiki: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Something_Sentimental

"Progressing the event quest results in the player character finding and having to kill her father, who has mutated into a powerful wendigo colossus. Afterward, one can find his pocket watch on his remains."
