Overview

Sets whether a location counts as cleared, the status that shows on the map and affects whether a dungeon's bosses and loot respawn. Passing 1 marks it cleared and 0 marks it uncleared, which can be used to make a dungeon respawn its enemies and chests. It usually acts on the location of the selected reference. A niche command for farming or fixing a location's status.
