KeiraIceblade Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, I'm having a problem with "Revealing the Unseen" mission. I just met Paratus Decimius, who (fortunately) opens the door. I said fortunately because I'm really having a lot of problems and bugs to deal with in this mission, and my patience is really running out... :wallbash: Now, he talks to me and finally asks "Where is Gavros?", then he suddenly stops talking and stucks in a state of alert with a fire spell ready to be cast. As I talk to him, he would answer "Yes?" "You want something from me?" and other things that don't help me for sure, lol. I added the focusing crystal with a console command 'cause I was not able to find it looting the Falmers' corpses. I guess the problem is about "fixing" the quest, that is actually stuck at "Search for Synod researches". Is there something I can do to fix Paratus Decimius and make him guide me inside the room in which I am supposed to place the crystal into the Oculory? PS: Please tell me if you don't understand something. I'm not a native English speaker, so there may be some errors in my explanation :rolleyes: Thank you.

xlcr Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) @KeiraIceblade, ohh noo not another person stuck on this quest again lol.try not to loose patience, this is one of the more difficult and buggy skyrim quests. i have a feeling Paratus Decimius seems to be unresponsive and the quest doesn't seem to have progressed even thoughyou've obtained the focusing crystal using a console command, is that actually finding the focusing crystal by searching the dead falmer bodiestriggers the quest script to advance. there is a known issue finding the focusing crystal, you'll need to carefully and thoroughly search EACH falmer body; especially, the bodies located in the large multi-leveled room that can be accessed through either of two open doorways. this is the room where 4 falmer were prowling, one of these should have been carrying the focusing crystal.many people miss finding the crystal because the bodies are sometimes stacked on top of each other and difficult to select.this is unlikely; but, if you used destruction spells that blast things apart, the focusing crystal might have been blown clear ofthe falmer carrying it and might have landed on the floor/elsewhere somewhere.(i have not heard this happening in this particular quest but some others). here is a link to the uesp site which documents what they know (spoilers) about the quest: Reveal hidden contents http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Revealing_the_Unseen as a last resort you might be able to brute force the quest to the next stage by using setstage console commands.

KeiraIceblade Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 OK cool.. So now I'm going all the way back and see if I can find the crystal.If I'm not successfull I'll do it the hard way :) Thank you a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlcr Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) lol argh yeah i guess, it's confusing and i'm hesitant to suggest anything because this quest is kinda complicated and because you said your journal is stuck at stage 25 'Search for Synod researchers' and seem to be somewhere between stage 30 Reach the Oculory followed by stage 32 Find the Focusing Crystal.. anyway, i'm not sure what to tell you. i know you got the 'Mzluft Key' from Gavros; but, did you obtain and READ the 'Research Log' he has?not doing this might make the quest script get hung up; and, i suspect if you haven't done this then you might need to go all the way back to the Mzulft entrance foyer area, hopefully Gavro's body is still there, find and read the research log. i hate to say this but it might be best if you consider loading an earlier gamesave, take it slow and go thru this quest step by step roughly following the uesp walkthrough.. Reveal hidden contents http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Revealing_the_Unseen by the way, as a courtesy to members, be careful revealing too much (spoilers) about this quest since we're in the general discussion forum.fyi, in the future please note there is a special forum setup to discuss this sort of thing here:http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/413-skyrim-spoilers/ Edited June 29, 2012 by xlcr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeiraIceblade Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 OK I got all the way back to the main entrance but I didn't find a track of the crystal... How do I skip the current stage and get to the next one? Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlcr Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) see my previous posting (you posted while i was editing..) regarding the 'research log'.one of the falmer has or had the focusing crystal, you just need to find it lol. if you do not want to load an earlier savegame and repeat this Mzluft quest, i believe you are at stage 25 'Search for Synod researchers', the next stage is 30 'Reach the Oculory'; so, the console command would be:setstage MG06 30just be sure you make a gamesave before using this to protect yourself.all the Quest Stages are listed at the bottom of that UESP page i keep referring you to.

KeiraIceblade Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Oh yes you're right: wrong section :confused: I'm really sorry... I'll put in the spoiler anything else I'm writing about this topic. Reveal hidden contents I forgot to tell you that I never found Gavro in the entrance of the ruins LOL He simply wasn't there. I used the command's codes to acquire his journal and his key (I read the other discussion in which another player has found difficulties in this quest), then I read Gavro's journal and then used the key to enter the ruins. Even if I am resetting the quest, the problem would be the same 'cause Gavro isn't in the entrance... :confused: Is there anything else I can try to fix the quest?

KeiraIceblade Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) OK I'll try... Aaaaall right, it works. Reveal hidden contents I just put the numbers next to the 30th until I reached the 40th, that corresponded to the quest in which you had to place that crystal and now it works! Thank you a lot for your timely responses and sorry for the spoilers :confused: Edited June 29, 2012 by KeiraIceblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlcr Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) you suk lol. i think a lot of gamers encounter issues with this quest and do not get to meet Gavros Plinius inside the entrance of Mzluft.there is a thread back in April where we tried a lot of things to get this quest to finally work if you want to look here:http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/645161-cant-continue-on-revealing-the-unseen-quest/page__hl__revealing+the+unseen i suspect there are issues if you do not successfully complete all prerequisite dialog tree selections with Mirabelle (which can be tricky) whichcauses Gavros Plinius not to be spawned at Mzluft; in addition to maybe, Gavros is not set as essential and dying before you start this quest lol. because this is an interesting quest, i'd recommend loading an earlier gamesave (before talking to Mirabelle) and playing the whole thing over again following a walkthrough guide. did you successfully complete the previous quest 'Good Intentions'?
