This quest has been a railroad of problems. First I could not detect the Elder Scroll, as the quest tracker lead me to a dead-end in the dungeon. No biggy I idea, panel commanded that portion of the quest to complete and went on my merry way.
I returned to Alduin and the timescar to find that I take no Elderberry Scroll in my inventory to read to advance the quest. Still solvable- used the console to add the Elderberry Whorl to my fill-in.

The problem now is that I cannot get the next stage of the quest to trigger by reading the Elder Coil. If I read the Elder Scroll nothing opens upwardly (makes the audio though and locks you into "reading fashion"), and no cutscene/flashback occurs. I can cancel out of the "read mode" to get back to the game, but reading the Elder Scroll will non advance the game.

I am a bit of a loss equally to how to proceed from hither- it looks similar my just pick is to advance the quest concatenation manually through console commands, but since this is a pretty crucial part of the story I'd rather non do then unless I have to. Whatsoever thoughts gentlemen?

Take a expect at this link, Sehnder. There is 1 specific note in the Bugs section about getting locked in the curlicue reading that suggests restarting the game to fix it. (Not restarting the game from the first. Quitting, closing the game and restarting the program.) Read through the listing though because there may exist some other things in there to try equally well since you've had to console through so much.

The problem with using panel commands to advance a quest is that you tin glitch your game farther down the route. Your game may even get unplayable so y'all may be digging yourself into a deeper pigsty if you use another console control.
Using console commands to accelerate Elder Knowledge was a mistake IMO. Your quest marker could have atomic number 82 you to an apparent dead end considering you took a wrong turn. This is very possible in Elder Cognition since it takes you into Alftland and Blackreach. I recommend you reload from before using the console command to consummate Elder Noesis and try to stop the quest without console commands, especially if yous didn't make information technology to Blackreach.

I found that the quest marker for the fourth dimension rift is not in the right identify., y'all come across a flurry of snowfall making a circle on the basis nearby and a blue haze around it. Stand in the center of it and read the ringlet and non where the quest marker tells y'all.
I got to that indicate and went back in time but Alduin won't arrive. They said he's approaching and stand up to wait for him just that's equally far as it gets. All that happens is dragons fly about overhead forever until I exit the game.

I tried posting this on Bethesda forums but for some reason, they just delete whatever posts almost it without an answer. I tried searching just nobody seems to be allowed to say anything about it on their forums, the only three posts that mentioned it today have all been deleted.

All I want is an answer because information technology'southward a full game stopper. Is at that place a step I accept missed somewhere along the line? Something missing from my inventory maybe?

I'thousand hoping that this forum will allow me to inquire the question and the mods here won't just delete information technology without an explanation.

Well, if I experience moved to delete a post, I take the addiction of explaining why I've done and then. I can't see annihilation in yours that moved me to such activity
Give me a few minutes to see what I can discover concerning your issues. I know I've heard of it happening. Hopefully that means there's a solution.

And hither is what UESP has to say nearly it:
Sometimes later on yous read the Elder Scroll y'all will see into the past but nothing will happen. Your character will simply stand at that place looking downwards a rocky path towards the ruby sky. You volition hear and experience the dragons flight around but no dragon volition state, no fighting volition occur and there will exist no dialogue. This glitch may occur after the 3 Nord heros talk near the Elder Scroll and say Alduin is coming. Alduin will fly around only not country making it impossible to go on. Restarting the game seem to fix this.

It seems like this bug has troubled you for a while, though. Have you had the opportunity to restart the game?

Thanks Rayven. I have been on boards where mods never explicate why posts have been deleted or locked. When you postal service a new one asking, they lock that without annotate besides. Bethesda seem to be pretty touchy most this bug as I accept searched and can't find any reference to it.
Having been a mod myself, I at least have the decency to PM the OP if I had to delete a topic explaining why I did and then and made a annotate on why it was locked in the thread if I locked information technology.

I have tried a restart. I got annoyed near a blatant game stopper that should accept been picked upward in Beta and close the game downwards the first fourth dimension. I tried again later on but to no avail.

Is there a console cheat to skip over this quest and marking it as completed? Send information technology as a PM if you don't want to make it public but I would remember I'one thousand not the only one in the same boat so it might be helpful to others as well.
I have tried over and over to do it, reboot the client and even reboot my whole PC with no luck. I have even gone off to practice other quests to see if that clears the error only not a promise.

You can probably utilise the same setstage commands for when you lot are stuck in time after the Elder Ringlet is used to defeat Alduin:
Setstage mq206 70, and then setstage mq206 100. If it works it will give you the Dragonrend Shout and allow you to finish the rest of the quest unremarkably.
