The dark brotherhood quest "Mourning Never Comes" won't be

I had the same glitch with one of my characters. After digging around in the Creation Kit for a few hours, I found some console commands which allowed me to finish the Dark Brotherhood questline. Before attempting any of these commands, save your game just in case they make things worse.

 

  • If the courier never shows up with the Dark Brotherhood note and you don't get kidnapped while sleeping after completing "Innocence Lost", open the console and type:

     

    setstage DBEntranceQuest 20
    The courier should now show up and you should now be kidnapped while sleeping.
  • If, after completing the first 3 contracts for Nazir, Cicero never shows up and Astrid does not give you the quest "Mourning Never Comes", first, exit the sanctuary, then open the console and type in the following commands. I had to enter them one at a time; running them in a batchfile would not work for me.

     

    prid 0001E64A
    enable
    prid 0001E648
    enable
    prid 0001BDE8
    moveto 0001E64C
    prid 0001E64A
    moveto 0001E64B
    prid 0001BDE7
    moveto 0002EE3D
    prid 0001D4BB
    moveto 0002EE3E
    prid 0001C3AE
    moveto 0008D294
    prid 0001BDEB
    moveto 0001D23E
    prid 0001D4BC
    moveto 0008D295
    prid 00015CF4
    enable
    setpqv DarkBrotherhood CiceroArrive_var 1
    Then, enter the sanctuary and the Cicero arrival scene should play out and Astrid should give you the quest "Mourning Never Comes".
  • Before talking to Astrid after completing "Mourning Never Comes", open the console and type:

     

    setpqv DarkBrotherhood CiceroTalk1_var 2
    This should make the scene where you spy on Cicero play correctly.
After the scene where you spy on Cicero, I didn't need to use the console again to finish the Dark Brotherhood questline. The only other anomaly I noticed is that volumes 1-4 of Cicero's journal didn't show up in the sanctuary. They are not critical to the main Dark Brotherhood quest, but if you really want to read them, you can add them to your inventory using the following console commands:

 

player.additem 0009DABE 1
player.additem 0009DAC1 1
player.additem 0009DAC4 1
player.additem 0009DAC5 1
Good luck!

 

 

Worked wonderfully! Thank you!

This worked for me perfectly and I think it's because I killed the orphanage lady before talking to Aventus. That was the first time I did that after 3 play throughs. The quest line got royally messed up after that but this fix worked perfectly. Thanks, man!

Sciron524, your fix worked beautifully! I'd been so frustrated and sad thinking I would have to try and use commands to skip the quest, but thanks to your detailed explanation I was able to trigger Cicero's arrival and continue with the quests, uninterrupted thus far. You even added a way of getting the first 4 volumes of Cicero's journal for us book collectors and story-lore addicts! I can't thank you enough you have literally saved my game!!! :)

i know this is old and my comment will necro this topic, but "Mourning never comes" seems completely stuck.. ive tried various commands to reset/set/start the quest... where im stuck at is ive killed the first 3 victims, returned to the sanctuary to see Cicero there jabbin his gums.. after words Astrid starts talking to me, but no click over of the quest even after she has stated i have the quest... all she does is repeat.. and commands wont advance or start the quest either... let me be clear... unlike everyone else.. Cicero did show up....
