Bend will not cleansing stones!

Post » Sun Feb 03, 2013 6:26 pm

Bend will shout was working on 2 of the stones i started to do a differet part of the quest and when i came back it didnt work no lurker spawned either! When I use the bend will on the stones they don't explode but the npc's still walk away from it like it has worked has anyone found a solution to this problem?

What happens when you activate these glitched stones? Do you still get a power like from the properly working ones? Or do you still go all zombie mason on them like they haven't been cleansed?
Do you have the quest to cleanse them? What does the journal entry say?

Basically I shouted at 2 of the stones and a lurker appeared and the whole thing expoded. Then I got sidetracked and went looking for a Blackbook in some ruins where I saw that deadric prince or whateva he is and he thought me the second word to the bend will shout. I left went back to the old guy who said he would tell me the secret of there people if I cleanse the remaining stones. So when I go to cleanse them the shout makes the people around it snap out of it and leave and u cannot get hypnotised by it anymore thats it plus the journal doesn't update still ses cleanse water and beast stone!

Best chance of a solution would be to load a save from before you learned the second word of bend will. One from before you went back to the shaman after learning the word might work too. Your probably going to lose a bunch of hours unfortunately.

You might also try first: (in no particular order)
1. Using only the first word or both words of the shout. See if there's a difference.
2. Continue to clear the rest of the stones and see if you can continue the main quest.
3. Leave Solstheim and wait 30 in game days to see if anything resets.
4. And of course the old standard: clear your Xbox's cache. Dashboard, system settings, memory, whatever storage device you're using, press "Y" I believe to perform device maintainence. Ta-da! Usually a helpful thing for any bug or glitch.
Hope this helps.
