I used the console to set 4/4 Aetherium Shards and the quest was saying to meet Katria at the forge entrance, there I met her and placed the 3 shards then used the codes again until I got the message to stand clear, then the ground started shaking and the lever spawned underground. I think it was on setstage 160 that I started the console code to get the forge entrance out, not sure and I don't have any of my old save games. I'm guessing our items are stored in the save game, so I wonder if there is any tool that allows you to see exactly what is written on the save file.

hmm maybe it's the quest that is somehow broken, as in that glowing crystal shard is never identified as being part of this quest, it's probably a script that does this assignment and renames the shards correctly. The lever is not on the map, I think it gets spawned when the ground shakes and the entrance comes up. I have no clue either on how to change the quests.

You can type help shard or help aetherium and you will get the right codes, for me the xx are 02, i don't think it will help cause the glowing crytal shards and aetherium shards have the same id, so you will get the same thing you already have. For the total count to go up did you try setstage DLC1LD_Misc 20 , 30, 40, 50 ? this will force the counter to go up regardless of what you have.

Try revisiting every location where the shards are, I remember that at the "Deep Folk Crossing" Katria didn't appear the first time I got there but show up on the second time. She was at the forge waiting so it's possible that you need her in order for the leaver to show up. Is your shard count 4 or not ? there is a mistake on my previous post it's setstage DLC1LD_Misc 20 , 30, 40, 50 to change the shard count and not just setstage DLC1LD. BTW on UESP the stages are 160, 170, 176, 181, 190 they are different from what I wrote on my previous post and I can't verify it anymore, I think I was trying the codes by increments of 1 so it's possible it worked for me at different number than what is written on the UESP page. I don't know if you know but the first 2 x on "xx004d0c" are actually different numbers or letters that differ from person to person, for me Katria is "02004d0c", you can type help Katria and it will show you her ID after NPC_. Good luck with it, I remember it took me some time to get it done and with out the codes it would be impossible.

For me it was the Raldbthar shard that was identified as Glowing glass shard instead of Aetherium shard and as such never counted for the quest, and it didn't work to activate the entrance to the forge either. I fixed my problem by typing setstage DLC1LD_Misc 30, this set my total number correctly to 3 even if I had 2 Aetherium shard + 1 Glowing glass shard, then when recovering the last Aetherium shard the count was correct 4/4 and Katria said to look for the forge, the forge wasn't pointed on the map but Katria's journal says it (location 5), after getting there Katria said to put the shards on the device but the device was saying that I had nothing that could fit ( my Glowing glass shard didn't work)... anyways to move on from this point I had to set the stage with the console, setstage DLC1LD 160, then setstage DLC1LD 170, then setstage DLC1LD 180 and finally setstage DLC1LD 185. At this point the lever should be up but it was underground so I had to use the code TCL to go underground and activate it, once this was done everything went as it should. I'v lost a lot of time reloading previous saved games but the shard in Raldbthar was always labeled Glowing glass shard instead of Aetherium shard, for me it was impossible to finish this quest without using the codes. In your case you probably need to setstage DLC1LD_Misc 20 (if not try 30, 40 or 50 till you get 4/4 shards), you'll never get it but then you can setstage DLC1LD 160 and find the entrance to the forge (south of Ivarsteed) hopefully Katria will be there and you can proceed like I did, type the code then go see Katria, if nothing new type the next code.
