Failed House of Horrors?

[ObXcured]

Hey guys,
So I'm currently trying to get all the daedric artifacts, and it seems the only one im missing is the mace of Molag Bal. For some reason when i go to 'completed quests' it says ive failed the mission? and has red crosses by all the objectives, is there any way to fix this or I have sort of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ myself over here and I'm now unable to get all the artifacts? -.-
Thanks

you could look up the console commands for this quest. With the console you can trigger certain stages of the quest. Lemme look online real quick

and heres how what to type in: setstage <quest id> <stage value>

here are all the commands listed: https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Console_Commands_(Skyrim)
( look for quest commands section )

Did you kill the priest of Boethiah prior to his arrival to Markarth? Because that will fail the quest outright. You have to let him be trapped by the Prince of Domination and use the Mace of Molag Bal to torture said priest. Only once He tires of said torture do you then kill the priest.

That is the only way to fail the quest to my knowledge - to kill the priest prematurely. You have to let Molag Bal torture him prior to that, otherwise you will fail the quest.

Think this is what I might have done.. Very annoying, been playing around with console commands and cannot seem to restart the mission, even after resurrecting Logrolf.. super annoying

You'll need to load to an earlier save. Most of the time, console commands will only help you when the quest hasn't been completed.

I had a similar issue with the main quest recently - for some reason Unbound never started nor completed and Hadvar just stood outside Helgen. Alduin didn't even fly overhead. I tried using console commands to fix the issue, but apparently despite not having received a journal entry Unbound was completed. So, I had to use them to start Before The Storm and progress it to the point where I talk to Jarl Balgruuf of Whiterun. Something like that you can fix with console commands.

But to my knowledge, your only option here is to reload to an earlier save. I could be wrong, but from my experience with this game - I've got over 2,700 hours on Skyrim alone - I've never been able to fix a completed or failed quest with console commands. Only reloading to an earlier save works in this regard.

The mace itself can be acquired through the console:

player.additem 000233e3 1

If your actual goal is the related achievement, you have other options for getting that.

If you have Dawnguard, and are running the unofficial patch for it, then Auriel's Bow[en.uesp.net] will be incorrectly flagged as a Daedric artifact and can be used for the achievement in place of one of the proper items.

Without the patch, you may be able to acquire multiple rewards from Hircine's quest[en.uesp.net], each of which will also increase the artifact counter.

Or you could just borrow a save.[www.nexusmods.com]
