Elder Knowledge Won't Progress?!?! : V

» Sun Jun 03, 2012 9:32 am

So my marker is pointing at Urag, but there's no dialogue option about Elder Knowledge? Is my MQ glitched out?

Please anyone?

is this about finding the elder scroll? did you read the books on the table?

Yeah it's about the scroll. There's only one book on his table. I read it, but the dialogue option still isn't there?

where are you on CoW quests?

UESP says:

Bugs

This quest occasionally conflicts with the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:College_of_Winterhold quest line. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Urag_gro-Shub will sometimes lack the dialogue options required to continue Elder Knowledge. Finishing the College of Winterhold quests should resolve the issue. Alternatively, PC users can use the console to progress Elder Knowledge by setting its stage to 80 by typing setstage MQ205 80. It is also possible to head straight to Blackreach and get the scroll regardless, but you will not have any quest markers to rely on.
If Urag gro-Shub will not talk to you, there is also a book on the desk that he usually stands behind. Read it and then talk to Urag and continue with your quest.

Are you on PC?

Right now my CoW quest is to find someone in the Midden. Is the dialogue option for Elder Knowledge guaranteed to be there after I complete the College?

Not sure about guaranteed, but its worth a try. or you could just head straight for Septimus' outpost, if you know where it is.

do you actually need to talk to him to progress? cant you just move on to the next part which involes talking to a certain scholarly mage.

I've already been to Septimus earlier in the game, but I haven't done his quest. Will his quest lead me to the scroll that I need for Elder Knowledge?

What other scholarly mage can I talk to? My quest arrow leads me to Urag.

i was refering to septimus, just talk to him and do his quest as it leads to the elderscroll.

Hes talking about Septimus. His quest will lead to the scroll, but now that you are on the main questline, you can go directly there AFAIK. Many people have discovered the elder scroll by 'accident' by talking to him.

Are you on PC, or no?

PS3. How do you accidentally find the scroll by talking to him?

» Sat Jun 02, 2012 7:30 pm

talk to him, get discerning the transmundane quest and go from there.

Septimus' quest and Elder Knowledge both take you to the same place. If you have an "attunement sphere" and a "blank lexicon" from Septimus in your inventory, you're good to go.

Yeah I have those items in my inventory. Thanks for the help guys! You're awesome. So after I get the scroll my Elder Knowledge quest should update which will bypass the need to talk to Urag?
