Stuck in Nchardak - probable spoilers - HELP please

Post » Sun Feb 03, 2013 8:18 am

I am stuck in Nchardak...

I've gone through the whole place with Neloth, and he keeps saying we have all the necessary control cubes... but there is 1 missing, and I have no idea where it is.

I think the problem is when he gives you the last one at the end, maybe I didnt get it? I have tried to pickpocket him but there is only gold.

To make matters worse, my saves are screwed, and if I have to load my last proper save, I am going to lose about 2 weeks worth of play...

I've been back through the whole place twice and there are none around that i can see.

Please help!

There are a total of 5. One of the first two will be left up top and use the other four on the lower level.

Thanks but unfortunately, thats the problem... the game seems to think I have 5, but I only have 4.

I can put 3 in, and 1 in the top, but thats it.

Man...IDK That sounds like a real issue. With all you have (4) placed in the posts, and you pick up one...
The game tells you you have 2? Each one you pick up the game will keep count.

I wish...!

Its literally like no5 just dropped off the side of the earth. I pick up all 4 - I have 4. I put 1 in the pump, and 3 in the main bit... and I have 0.

Pretty sure when he 'gives' it to you, it disappeared somehow, and is lost. I'm going to try and search for it (otherwise I will be replaying 2 weeks and all of Dragonborn so far's worth) and will post back if its just sitting around... but I dont think it is.

Take th one out of the top, and put all 4 that you have in the bottom

I cant - when you take the one out of the top, the water rises again... :(

I have tried putting 3 in, taking the top one out and jumping down quickly, but it just doesnt let you put it in.

are you certain you did not leave any of them in a spot you had to place them to open a door or raise water level?

If it only counts 4 then that is all you have. The other one is still there...somewhere.

yeah i think so - you go to the lowest part of that area, get another, and he meets you back at the entrance once the room floods? thats where i think it might have gone wrong, as he is supposed to give me one back, but im not sure he did...

I'll bet it's one of the two posts in the first large room you were in with the high water. There is some swapping going on there and I actually had to go back and get it.

in the main room you only need 1 cube in 1 device on the top platform to keep the water level just below the middle platform where you put the remaining 4
if that's not the issue then the quest marker should still point to all the cubes...simply follow the markers to the lost cube ;)

yeah, unfortunately, I only had 1... when i put them in as best i can (3 in bottom, 1 at top), i have a quest marker for the empty port of the 4...

I have since deleted the 3 autosaves that were for this section. I found on my xbox hard drive a save from yesterday, but when i try to load it in Skyrim it isnt an option... wtf? its 1025 and the max save i can load is 1021...?

what does the marker point to when all cubes are in your inventory and what does your quest journal say as the current objective? that svcks about your saves too...i'm trying to help as best as I can without seeing your screen or holding your controller :)

when they are in my inventory its pointing towards the ports you put them in.

I've actually deleted the saves that was in... its driving me mad, this saving issue. i'm now going through and deleting all previous saves bar like the last 20, hoping it will display mine from 10hrs ago. dont mind doing dragonborn again... just dont want to have to all that, all the civil war, several misc quests and a few daedric ones again...

thanks, much appreciated... wouldnt worry too much now, as i say, i've deleted it and going to try it again. hopefully someone will get the same problem, then solve it and prove it was me being an idiot and not the game!
