IMPORTANT BUG - Shalidor's Maze : V

» Sun May 20, 2012 8:53 am

Yeah, in the PC version that I have, my companion wont exit the Shalidor's Maze. She'll say "cant do that, sorry" once you enter the area from skyrim. She doesn't seem to go out.

mate could you tell me how did you get through the maze? did you just cast a spell from the staff then pressed the glyph and the door opened?

I've got the same problem. Using the Staff of Fear (Illusion) worked but neither the Staff of Magelight (Alteration) nor the Staff of Repulsion (Restoration) for the trapdoor has any effect. Am I missing some kind of requirement or is this a bug?

Actually I just had to hit the button with the spell from the staff then the gate opened. Pushing the button "by hand" wasn't even necessary. But it was only working for the illusion sign (the one you'll find if you go around the labyrinth to the back where the power word is). That's why I think its probably a bug.

oh right, weird because how you going to hit the button with the spell of light?

i've actually in the act of desperation loaded up a save from middle of the dwarven city and played all over again until the labyrinthian and still didnt work, sent my save file to a friend and also didnt work there so I am out of ideas right now, unless Bethesda unlocks the doors in a patch or in some magical way manage to fix it

I used the staff from a moderate distance, and the door below opened itself, no need to press the glyph.

i got passed the first door, by going up stairs jumping on top of the mazes walls and then pulling the chain to open the first door, but after that im still stuck

Maybe you're using the wrong staff?

Sigil of Illusion - Staff of Fear

Sigil of Alteration - Staff of Magelight

Sigil of Restoration - Staff of Repulsion

Sigil of Destruction - Staff of Fireballs

I had the same problem with the restoration sigil not working- I spent 20 minutes trying everything I could think of. Eventually I fixed it by standing in the exact middle of the trap door and using the staff on the sigil apparently if you are too close to the sigil it just refuses to open.

I had the same problem. There seems to be a bug whenever you teleport somewhere else that the NPC can't go they screw up (Meridia is another example of this problem). How I typically fixed it was just fast traveling to the same location I was already at.

Stuck at sigil of restoration, tried everything you said, moved inch by inch over the trap to find the "precise" place, but not working.

But the thing is, at this stage of the Mage quest, nobody speaks to me at the academy, they wait for me to bring back that staff. So I cannot ask where is the scroll asked by the Dragon to advance the main quest !!

So as I wait for a patch or a magical reset, I keep on exploring. I hope they fix the maze soon.

The shalidor maze has nothing to do with the mage guild. The quest you need to do is in the Labyrathian. Find another door outside. But same bug here, I cannot open Alteration or Restoration Sigil. Very annoying bug.

We need a console command to activate them manually !

guys try use the staff of repulsion in the restoration trap door. Use the staff not staying over the trap door....do it before the trap and the door will open.

I was with difficulties to open it too.

Are you using the Staff of Repulsion, or the Tome of Heal other that you find? You need to use the staff, not the tome.

Tried it hundreds of times from every different point where I could hit the restoration sign... and yes I used the staff of repulsion. No chance!
