The Pale Blade Stuck under a rock

[davaeron666]

Hi group. I just completed every steps of the Pale Lady quest line except the last, because the sword was catapulted by my shout under a rock in the final cave where there is a waterfall. I can see the marker on the map, I get over it but I can grab the sword that is stuck underneath the ground. I have tried to console create it but it does not work. I also tried using ''prid items ID'' ''moveto player'' command but all the ID I found on the net results in an error message in the console.... so. Maybe someone here experienced the same thing as me. I could need some help. I don't need the sword to fight, just to complete the quest.

You're over thinking it ... if you're going to use console commands then simply use "TCL" and walk into the rock and grab it, then back out and use the same command again.

TCL = Toggle collision layer

After you toggle it off you can walk through anything, then just toggle it back on. Handy for when you get stuck between two rocks.

Thanks for the fast reply. With TCL disable I was able to go through the floor and the rocks all around the marker. No sword. I went quite deep under the map and all around and I cannot find it. I'll keep looking.

Load a save from before the fight and don't use that shout.... not that the pale blade is that impressive.

I just continued journeying and thought to myself i'll console command my way out of this sometimes later. It's bugger opening the quest tab and seeing still there forever. And I don't know if you meant ''is that' or '' is'nt that'' but I roll two hands hammer anyway and the lioness got her ancestral blade. I still have not found it nor was I able to complete the quest by clipping or spawning items.

If you don't know the telekinesis spell, try sneak mode and approach the sword and see if you can get the text to pop up.
Try another shout to dislodge it. Sometimes a lightning bolt will move stuff around too.
The telekinesis spell is your best bet though. I've used it before to get items that were in a place my character couldn't enter or get in close enough to the item to grab it.

I meant "is that", the negative is at the beginning of the sentence.

The Pale Blade is a minor artifact and is easily outperformed by random loot dropped. No matter what level I am when I come across it I am underwhelmed.
