Arkngthamz tonal lock glitch

Post » Sun May 18, 2014 8:32 am

Okay, so I get to arkngthamz and got the quest to go to the tonal lock...well big problem. I got both of the diaries/scraps of paper and it says from top... 3 x...from bottom x x 2, then the diary says from top x x from bottom 1 x 2...so I go and hit tonal lock 1...and it goes green, but when I do 1 x 2..the second one goes up but does NOT play the note or turn green. What the crap...I thought...so I tried it again, but no matter which tonal lock I hit none after the 1st one goes up and turns green. Now the combination I've tried was as follows: from top 3, 4..and from bottom 1, 5, 2, but for some reason the game says that this and all other combinations are wrong. I have attempted the following fixes: loading from a previous save, shutting off my xbox and leaving it alone for almost 2 weeks, leaving the area (going back into Skyrim and re-entering Arkngthamz, I even tried returning Zephyr to where you get it from the log and this has not even worked...I play Skryim on the Xbox 360 and this bug/glitch is beginning to grate on my last nerve...I have attempted every single fix that I could google and even that some other people have mentioned, but I am still having no luck whatsoever. So does anyone know something that could help fix this this bug or am do I have a faulty disc? I mean I own the PC version of Skyrim as well and not once have I had these issues/bugs until the I got the 360 version (all bugs/issues/glitches are only caused on my 360 version)...so any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks

Two suggestions from the UESP. The first is to intentionally hit a wrong resonator to start, kill the enemies and then do the correct order.

The second is to load a previous save, place the Zephyr Bow back on the log where you found it, then try the lock.

That's all I've got without the console.

I tried what you said Yasgur and after hitting the tonal locks in the wrong sequence to get all the enemies...I did this and killed the wave of spiders, and the the rolling bolls of doom thingys :D...but again when I attempted the sequence what it did was: Tonal Lock Bottom Left: went up and turned green played a note...Tonal Lock Bottom Right: Went up but did not turn green or play a note...Tonal Lock Upper Left: Went up and played a note as the eyes turned Red. I even put the bow Zephyr back as well. Does Bethesda know of any fix that could fix this? Or do they even frequent these forums? Not wanting to submit a ticket to tech support, but I cant find any fix whatsoever and I am becoming annoyed with this.

I don't have anything else. Give this a couple of days and see if anyone else does.

Yasgur, I appreciate your help, even if it didn't work. Thanks for taking the time out to help me with this issue, appreciate it. It's just, out of all the Bethesda games I own, I've never had this issue before.
