   This quest has been a railroad of problems. Beginning I could non detect the Elder Roll, as the quest tracker lead me to a dead-end in the dungeon. No biggy I thought, panel commanded that portion of the quest to complete and went on my merry way.

   I returned to Alduin and the timescar to notice that I have no Elder Whorl in my inventory to read to advance the quest. Still solvable- used the console to add the Elderberry Scroll to my fill-in.

   The problem now is that I cannot go the next stage of the quest to trigger past reading the Elder Whorl. If I read the Elder Ringlet nothing opens up (makes the audio though and locks you into "reading mode"), and no cutscene/flashback occurs. I can cancel out of the "read mode" to go back to the game, but reading the Elderberry Scroll will not advance the game.

   I am a bit of a loss equally to how to proceed from here- it looks similar my only pick is to advance the quest concatenation manually through console commands, but since this is a pretty crucial role of the story I'd rather not do so unless I have to. Any thoughts gentlemen?

   Take a wait at this link, Sehnder. There is one specific note in the Bugs section nearly getting locked in the curl reading that suggests restarting the game to fix it. (Non restarting the game from the beginning. Quitting, closing the game and restarting the programme.) Read through the listing though because there may be some other things in there to try besides since y'all've had to console through then much.

   The problem with using console commands to advance a quest is that you can glitch your game further down the road. Your game may fifty-fifty become unplayable so you lot may be digging yourself into a deeper hole if you utilise another console control.

   Using console commands to advance Elder Knowledge was a mistake IMO. Your quest marker could have lead you to an apparent dead end because y'all took a wrong turn. This is very possible in Elder Cognition since it takes you into Alftland and Blackreach. I recommend you reload from earlier using the console command to consummate Elder Knowledge and attempt to stop the quest without console commands, specially if you lot didn't make information technology to Blackreach.

   I found that the quest marker for the fourth dimension rift is not in the right identify., you see a flurry of snow making a circle on the ground nearby and a blue haze effectually it. Stand in the center of information technology and read the ringlet and not where the quest marking tells you.

   I got to that bespeak and went back in time just Alduin won't make it. They said he's approaching and stand up to wait for him but that's as far as it gets. All that happens is dragons fly about overhead forever until I exit the game.

   I tried posting this on Bethesda forums only for some reason, they only delete any posts about information technology without an reply. I tried searching merely nobody seems to exist allowed to say anything about information technology on their forums, the only 3 posts that mentioned information technology today have all been deleted.

   All I want is an answer considering it's a total game stopper. Is in that location a footstep I have missed somewhere along the line? Something missing from my inventory maybe?

   I'm hoping that this forum will allow me to ask the question and the mods hither won't just delete it without an explanation.

   Well, if I feel moved to delete a post, I have the habit of explaining why I've done then. I can't see anything in yours that moved me to such activeness

   Requite me a few minutes to see what I can find concerning your bug. I know I've heard of information technology happening. Hopefully that ways in that location'southward a solution.

   And here is what UESP has to say about it:

   Sometimes subsequently you read the Elder Scroll you volition run into into the by but nil will happen. Your character volition just stand there looking down a rocky path towards the cherry-red sky. You will hear and feel the dragons flying around but no dragon will land, no fighting volition occur and there will be no dialogue. This glitch may occur subsequently the three Nord heros talk virtually the Elderberry Scroll and say Alduin is coming. Alduin will wing around but not state making it impossible to continue. Restarting the game seem to set up this.

   Information technology seems similar this bug has troubled you for a while, though. Have you had the opportunity to restart the game?

   Thanks Rayven. I have been on boards where mods never explain why posts take been deleted or locked. When you post a new one request, they lock that without comment too. Bethesda seem to be pretty touchy about this bug as I accept searched and tin't notice whatever reference to information technology.

   Having been a mod myself, I at least accept the decency to PM the OP if I had to delete a topic explaining why I did so and made a comment on why information technology was locked in the thread if I locked information technology.

   I have tried a restart. I got annoyed about a blatant game stopper that should have been picked up in Beta and shut the game downwardly the beginning time. I tried once again afterward but to no avail.

   Is there a console cheat to skip over this quest and mark it as completed? Send it as a PM if y'all don't want to make it public only I would recall I'chiliad not the only ane in the same boat and then it might be helpful to others besides.

   I accept tried over and over to practise information technology, reboot the client and fifty-fifty reboot my whole PC with no luck. I accept even gone off to do other quests to see if that clears the error but not a promise.

    You can probably apply the same setstage commands for when y'all are stuck in time after the Elder Curl is used to defeat Alduin:

    Setstage mq206 70, and so setstage mq206 100. If it works it will give you lot the Dragonrend Shout and allow you to finish the rest of the quest commonly.
