blandmeat Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 For some reason I cannot start this quest. After finishing Containment I receive the Torc and Savos Aren's Amulet and am told by Mirabelle to go find the staff. All the dialog finishes as normal but the quest Staff of Magnus is never added to my journal. I also cannot open the ceremonial door. When I try to use the setstage command (MG07 i presume), again nothing happens and I cannot trigger acquiring this quest. I can bypass the Ceremonial door with console codes and enter Labarythian but I fear that other key triggers may not occur in this and further quests in this line. Help!

SubjectProphet Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Save before entering, then enter. You should see some ghosts on the other side talking. If not, reload the save and continue troubleshooting. Btw, Mirabelle should hand you the torc, which unlocks the door. The ruin should as well be marked on you're map. The torc opens the door when clicked. The quest code is MG07. The first stage is 10, continuing to 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, then 200. Basicly, the first stage didn't appear, so use this: setstage MG07 10 I hope that helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisnpuppy Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I noticed in doing this quest I moved much faster than the ghost did in the quest. There are several points that there are dialogues you have to hear so take it slow and listen. This may also help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandmeat Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks for the quick replies. Unfortunately as I already mentioned, I already tried the set stage commands (yes, using MG07 as the quest ID) without any success. I have used setstage before to fix Arniel's Endevour when it too glitched on me. At the end of the quest Containment I am given the Torc to open the door but as the quest is not in my journal it cannot be opened. Instead I am given the message that I lack the required item. I even tried adding another copy of the Torc with console and no success. Thanks again, looking forward to your replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandmeat Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Good news, I found the source of the #%$( bug. If you complete Arniel's Endevor before starting Containment (or likely while still working through MG06, Revealing the Unseen), it then causes the bug. What got me thinking was the moments before going down to the town to fight the magic anomalies. Faralda would have a hallucination and say "Lets get going Arniel" despite him not being there. Luckily Arniel's Endevor was the quest I completed right before this one so I reloaded to an earlier save and proceeded to the hall of elements to finish MG06. If you got any questions let me know but I think we can mark this as resolved for now. I'll let you know if any other problems occur through the quest.
