For some reason this quest won't start (i.e. I get no entry in my journal) when I enter Arkngthamz and I have found no way of completing it. Katria showed up as normal when I entered the ruin, so I decided to carry on and get the last glowing crystal shard before proceding to the Ruins of Bthalft. However, Karlia is nowhere to be seen and activating the Dwemer Globe thing nets no result.

Looking at UESP's http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Lost_to_the_Ages, it seems that this issue is caused by me visiting Mzulft during CoW questline and not activating the quest (picking up a shard or reading the book Aetherium Wars) before that area reset (a corpse in the area will disappear and mess up the quest somehow). This issue has been fixed by the Unofficial Patches, so that's why I never encountered this issue on the PC.

I guess this means that I won't be able to get an Aetherium item on this character... or is there a way out for console users as well?

Thanks in advance.
