Pillar of boethiah bugged
Hi there!
I have a huge problem with the pillar of sacrifice in boethiah's quest. This is not the usual bugs ot lack of info to make your companion use the pillar. In my case, it is permanently activated as if you had just killed your companion when he/she was bound to the pillar. Those blue magic mists which appear after the ritual are permanently on, and the shining sign on the floor is always activated as if someone was stepping on it. The pillar itself is still usable and i can command my companions to use it without any trouble, but i just can't finish the summon of boethia because of this annoying bug. I've tried disabling the pillar with the disable/enable command, but the pillar is not the problem. It seems it's the floor which is bugged. Adittionaly, after killing someone who has activated the pillar, the magic dome which appears doesn't banish. I've tried using the kill command too, jst in case the game didn't detect my companion as dead, but i got no result.
Please, help me, i want Lydia to burn nearby foes to death while i SEND THEIR SOULS TO THE OBLIVION'S DOOMED REIGNS!!!!... Sorry, this game is so epic it affects me xD

Find the Shrine of Boethiah.
Find the cult of Boethiah.
Lead someone to become trapped by the shrine and slay them, or kill all the cultists.
Speak to Boethiah's Conduit.
Slay the other cultists, or lead someone to become trapped by the shrine and slay them.
Speak to Boethiah's Conduit.
Slay everyone at Knifepoint Ridge stealthily.
Retrieve and equip the Ebony Mail.

Did you try reloading an other save before ? Look if the bug still occurs.

Then if you use a follower which is essential, it may not work.

yes, i've tried reloading, but nothing T.T. I think this may be happening because i sacrificed some1 there before i could even do the quest. I was under 30, and there were no worshipers at the shrine, but i sacrificed a sellsword anyway. Then, as i got no response, i just suposed i had to get a higher level. I'm going to try what comes in the video, but none of those bugs fit mine. As i told you, i can use the pillar as usual, and kill a companion too. It sjust doesn't work. The floor is shining and the dome is up, but none of them disappear when i kill the sacrifice. By the way, i've tried just with the sellsword from windhlem, so i'll try with a housecarl or ♥♥♥♥.
TY for the info anyway, i'll tell you if i can fix it and how

Nope, a housecarl didn't work. As i told you, the problem seems to be the floor, but it's not clickeable and i supose i will have to change some lines of the game's code, and i dont know a shi.t about it. I've searched a lot 4 info before posting this and i couldn't find anything. I tried verifying caché too, but nothing.

good nuuus everyone!
Finally, i could complete the quest. The shrine is still bugged, but i used the ]player.setstage da02 20 command. I had tried it before, but it didn't work. My theory? I typed it when i was near the shrine, and this 2nd time i typed it far from it. It should not have nothing to be with that, but it's the only thing i did different. Oh, i had no companion this time, try it that way too.
TY anyway.
