My companion is locked in the room where I fought the necromancer and I can't get inside to get her back. I told her to wait when I was fighting the mage and when I was taken into the sky by Meridia, my companion became permanately trapped. What really bugs me, no pun intended, is that first of all the door for some stupid reason can't be opened. It says it needs a key. Is it that important that it has to be permately locked after the quest is over?

Secondly while I'd be perfectly able to move on without the companion to someone new...its impossible because if I speak to a new companion they say I already have one which is alas the one stuck in the room. In this instance I wish I knew why Bethesda couldn't have just made companion replacing as easy as speaking to a new follower. Did they not want us to not hurt their feelings and force us to personally tell them they can't be our companions no longer?

Bethesda please please at least just patch the game so we can at least open that door or leave it open for us. I have the xbox version.

Same sort of problem for me. I didn't even get a chance to finish the quest by grabbing the Dawnbreaker and I randomly fell through the floor. Ended up in the room with the locked door in front of me and that's that. My companion returned to me somehow which makes me think there is another way into the final room but I can't find it. Just want to finish the stupid quest. I know - why is that door locked?

Well ...in my case i did finished the quest and once i was back on the ground in front of the statute my companion (lidya) never came ....if u go from the front door u cant get in since there is a door locked so i made my way to the the outside balcony ...jumping from the rocks above and made it to the last room and there she was ...waiting for me lol i was happy i admit after hrs of waiting for her ....so try that ...i love lidya already .... and its a shame i cannot marry her...
