Glitch- Misc Quest: Locate The Assassin of Old

Post » Sat May 19, 2012 7:51 pm

Don't know if anyone else has this problem (nor did I scan the topics to see), but after accepting the quest & going to Hags end; The corpse is not behind the sliding wall preventing me from obtaining the Ancient Shrouded Armour. I've tried waiting 30 in game days, Loading previous saves, and zoning in, and out of the dungeon. None were successful.

Does anyone have a solution that may work in this situation? any help would be greatly appreciated, If not should I go to a previous save, and not start the quest in hopes that the next patch will fix this?

Side note: Just read this on elder scrolls wiki
"A glitch can occur if the player has cleared Hag's End multiple times. This means the Assassin of Old, may vanish from the game entirely, preventing the player from retrieving the Ancient Shrouded Armor."

I don't know much about this particular quest yet, but usually if a quest bug reported on the wiki doesn't have a fix written somewhere into it you might be best off reloading a previous save.

Honestly the only way you can play this game is NOT to go everywhere, like the game says you can. Clearing out dungeons before quests seem to just break them.

What really gets me is the "helm of winterhold" reportedly bugs out the main quest because you go into the same dungeon. Studio of the year, hell yeah! Good job guys.

Yeah, I have a habit of doing that lol a bad case of Skyrim ADD. One second I'm headed toward an objective, the next "OOO A CAVE!" Hopefully they read this and make a fix for it.. surely I'm not the only guy who is experiencing this problem. The corpse I'm supposed to see has a pretty bad ass head piece on it with +35% Bow damage. I could just wear a circlet.. but who doesn't want to look bad ass in a masked cowl?
