Stuck in Yngol Barrow (PS3)

Post » Tue Jun 05, 2012 1:21 pm

I completed the dungeon Yngol Barrow. Killed the bad guy, looted him and the chest, there is a gate with a chest and a spiral staircase going up. There is a waste-high pillar with a button that does nothing! The gate will not open. According to the guide book that I bought, I should be able to just exit the dungeon via the spiral staircase. I would if I could! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have to take the helm off the skeleton sitting on the throne.

Did you face Yngol's ghost, or a draugr boss? If the boss, it's a bug, and you may need to re-load, as the last door activates when you take the helm from the defeated ghost.

OK, I've killed the Draugr Overlord at the end of the dungeon - 3 times now! I put on the Helm Of Winterhold, pushed the button....nothing. The button does nothing. The gate at the back of the room opposite the throne does not open. I cannot leave, other than out the front entrance. Any ideas? Or am i just SOL?

I had the quest from the Jarl in Winterhold to get the Helm. I went back to him and gave him the helm, but it wont let me finish the quest. Well, it will - sort of - as it will go through the quest dialogue and allow me to be Thane, but it still says I have to finish the quest and I get no reward from it upon completion, other than the Thanehood.

The game seems to get confused because there is also a quest to find a steel war axe in the same place. I think the quests both get bugged criss crossing like they do.
