This is the quest where you have to obtain 3 amulet fragments from the corpses of archmages in their crypts. I started this quest in Folgunthur where i found a book, an cleared that dungeon and got the fragment. A while earlier I already cleared geirmunds hall but i didnt know about the quest by that time. So i went back to geirmunds hall to find the fragment, but the quest arrow is pointing to a random location on the ground where there is no fragment! I also searched the body of geirmund that has no fragment and the body of the ghost at the end seems to have dissapeared. Please help

i got the same problem

Have you been to the east part where you will have to fight with Siegfrid Gauldur. Defeat him and get his amulet. Very tough. Sneak and hide behind his empty coffin. Good luck.

Don't forget that Siegfrid will disintegrate your weapons. You won't find them anymore.. So don't use your best ones.

Exactly the same problem for me, staring at a quest arrow in the water. Have previous been through and cleared this place before starting the quest. This time the boss I had to kill was not named but a generic draugh deathlord. No amulet on his body. Think this quest is nixed and now stuck with two amulet fragment that I cannot remove as they're makred as quest items. I am on xbox so no console fix possible.

I just encountered the same issue. It is a known bug apparently.
PS3 here, so also no console to fix it.

I encountered a similar issue, but with Mikral of Folgunthur. The quest arrow does point to his body. But for some odd reason I can't for the life of me activate his body to search for the last piece. I already obtained the first two with no complications. Mikral though... That stubborn bastard just won't let go even in death. I tried reloading even to the beginning of that dungeon, even before I entered, but no luck!

Edit: P.S. I'm on the 360.
