Can anyone help me with my latest bug? I'm nearing the end of the Blindsighted quest but the door to Irkngthand Sanctuary will not open. It does it's little animation and you hear the proper sounds, but there is no transition. I'm on PC.

No one? I have reloaded, gone back out of the ruin and come back in (in other words, left the cell) tried different things, nothing is working.

Make sure
Then try a few other non-destructive fixes. (All of the following must be done on the console (tilde key))

First, check the quest stage: getstage TG08B
If this is not the case, take a look at this entry on UESPWiki and see if the solution pertains to you at all: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_talk:Blindsighted#Mercer_not_there

Next, just try moving yourself to the cell you need to get to
No luck? Then do the following CAREFULLY: Go up to the troubled door, open the console, and click on the door (the refID should be 0010DE05, I believe). Use the console command disable, exit the console, then reenter the console (NOT CLICKING ON ANYTHING ELSE) and use the console command enable. See if that works.

The door in question is not a normal load door, it is an activator which teleports you to the correct location. While ALL doors could be considered as such, this one is set up differently.

Other ideas:

If you are on the right quest stage and the appropriate people are present, you can try resetting the cell you're stuck in. See if (the previous cell), then use the console command pcb. This will force the cell to reload (pcb unloads all cells from the buffer, except the one you're standing in). Then go check that dratted door and see if you can go through it.

Still no joy? Well, the only other option I can think of (besides forcing quest stages or using prid commands, which I really hate to do) is completely resetting the cell you're stuck in. Go to the previous cell, use the pcb command, and then use This command completely resets the cell as if you've never entered it (be sure to use pcb BEFORE resetting the cell!) Now, the quest involved does not reset, but all the monsters, treasure, and triggers will. Not sure what this will do to the quest (not delving that far into it atm).

Take a look at: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Blindsighted especially the discussion tab and bugs list. Not sure if any of it will help you, but maybe it will give you some ideas.

Hope this helps.

Some of that stuff I have done but you have given me a couple of new ones. I do know the door is an activator because I am looking at the script and have been trying different things to see if I could get through. I do appreciate that you took a fair amount of time to respond in an effort to help me out. I will report back...

Got me to the next room and I was able to...

Ok I got out, I just needed to be more patient. One last thing though, I believe she was supposed to...


Thanks very much for helping me out, I was quite frustrated, but that's pretty normal since I hit level 33. Hopefully they will release another patch.

Another question, when do you get the quest "Darkness Returns"? It's not in my journal after talking with Karliah.

Hang on -
There is a quest associated with this dungeon/ruin. If you have already completed the quest, you will be unable to open this door.
I've tried it myself.


Edit: Oh, wait. I just read the rest of the thread. Never mind

Using the console, check the quest stage: getstage tg08b
At this point, it should be 200. If you are at stage 50, and your associates have left the cave with you, it's probably very safe to setstage tg08b 60. If you are already at stage 60, try talking to her again. If that doesn't work, go ahead and setstage tg08b 200 to complete the quest. (Alternately, you can just use Completequest tg08b.)

The item in question is
Completing Blindsighted should automatically start Darkness Returns. If that quest does not start, you can try starting it manually (tg09).
