Skuldafn Temple Door Bug

Post » Sun May 20, 2012 2:29 am

Need help immediately, and apparently I am not the only one experiencing this problem...

At the puzzle door in the Skuldafn Temple the door for the Diamond Claw wont open (and yes I have the correct combination entered for it) when I put the key in it just stays shut please help. I would love to keep playing the game but because of this problem I literally can't do anything else on this character

ive got the same issue. at first the rings were all dragons, which i believe is the position theyre supposed to take during the opening animation; i couldnt turn them at all at that time. i left the skuldafn temple and re-entered, this time the rings were dragon-moth-wolf and i could move them, but the door wont open just like you said.

really hope this gets fixed soon, or theres some kind of workaround. you think they wouldve prioritized this, considering that i cant exactly just walk away and do something else due to the location. ive run into several painfully bad quest bugs already, but this is the first thats game-breaking.

EDIT: i got the door to open, through the tried and true method of dumb luck. i dont know how successful youll be trying to repeat my results, but heres what i did. i loaded up my save, ran all the way back outside, and went into the west tower. i cleared it, got the loot, ran back outside, and saved. i quit the game, loaded the save, and ran through the whole temple again. when i got to the door it was still in the correct position, but for good measure i turned all the rings again. then, through some insane wizardry, the door decided to work. so, at the very least its probably not some permanent bug forever burned into your save file. screw around enough, and it might work itself out; good luck :thumbsup: .

Ok so I called Bethesda and they told me to lOad a previOus save which luckly I had one right after I killed the 2 dragons outside the temple. It worked cleared the temple up to the diamond claw and got it to work. All I can say is save often

None of these work for me. Left the temple, saved, returned, left, ran around other towers, returned, quit, loaded, restarted xbox, loaded - nothing. 110 hours into the game. I stopped creating new saves some time around 80 hours and just saved over the same file each time. So my choice is go back 30 hours and replay or just quit and hope that a patch might come out for this. Mainline quest with a nice fat bug sitting in it that prevents me from completing the game.
