Modeler99 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hi everyone, I am currently at the Shivering Isles Symbols of Office Quest. I have retrieved the eye and now need to retrieve the branch. I am standing in front of the stone in the center of the pond, but when I try to touch it or grab it nothing happens. So I would like to know if I am missing something along the way. As I am stuck at this location and without that branch cannot continue this game any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Modeler99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiosk2 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 If I recall, after a short time in that room, a doppleganger appeared and I had to slay my sexy self. "Save it for queen dopplepoppolis, doppleganger!" i proclaimed as I layed the smite down the vicious bodysnatcher. In other words, if that event isn't happening, i would reload the autosave before entering the dungeon. Its like five feet into the dungeon if i recall, so not much would be lost. I don't think I did anything to trigger the attack, i kinda ran in, circled the room, maybe I touched the tree or something (but I doubt it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the game is screwed. Oh well... time to find something else to do. Thanks for trying to help anyway. Modeler99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpenious Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 There is a bug in this quest, I believe from using custom character classes. I also was stuck on this part and ended up having to use console commands to move the quest forward. There are a few mods now that supposedly fix this, but I haven't tried them yet. If you aren't using a custom class, then I'm not really sure why else it would freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I sure dont like to start over after spending 65 hrs on this game. Modeler99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpenious Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 If you don't want to try the mods that are supposed to fix it, when you get to the grove, open the console, type setstage SE11 160. You should get a journal update saying you slew your doppelganger, then the branch will be added automatically I think. If not just activate the tree and it should work now. After this, turning around to leave, the gate out was still locked in my game, if that happens just open the console again and click on the gate/and/or teleporter and type unlock. I guess the double was supposed to have a key or something. Yeah, it's an annoying workaround, so you might want to try the mod fixes first, one of the big downsides is this method you won't get the Shadowrend, which is a cool black weapon your double uses, and drops after you kill it. But, like you said, it's better than starting a 30+ game over from scratch, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
