Waking Nightmare - First magic door won't open

[QuakeNAKED]

I've been hunting for a solution to this, but all I can find is workarounds for the magic barrier, not the first door Erandur has to open for you. After you enter the temple, there is a door that Erandur uses fire on to open, this is the door that's not opening for me. I watch erander walking into the door and eventually he will pop through to the other side, leaving me unable to follow.

I've tried the clipping trick, holding a plate against the door and trying to walk through, but the clipping exploit doesn't seem to work on this door. I've tried reloading saves, moving Erandur back to my player, and I've even tried console command TCL (although I might be doing something wrong, after I click the door and type TCL nothing happens).

I'm needing a work around, or a console command, or some kind of mod that fixes this please.

Did you save during this misson at any point? I know there's a bug that happens if you save during this mission and com back later. You need to do the missionstraight through once it's started and save at the end.

I saved right before talking to Erandur on the temple steps (where you get the info about the Miasma) and him entering the temple. I didn't follow Erandur up to the temple once the quest was started because I wasn't expecting it to begin and I was a low level, so that might have bugged it. Is there any workaround, or console command, or mod that can fix the door?

The above site is usually good for workarounds and such if you get stuck on a mission.

Do you still have the save "before talking to Erandur" you might want to load it. Work-arounds and console commands can cause problems later.

Thanks for the link, but that was the first place I checked, and there are no bugs reported for this particular door there. I still have the save, but reloading it doesn't fix the problem. I suspect that I will have to go back to an even earlier save before I even received the quest, which bites because I've done so much since then I might as well start a new game.

At times when I pay the tcl will not work correctly especially if you've been using the console a bit ! I found that closing the game down totally and possibly restart steam before reloading and replaying from before you entered the Temple! Then just follow and allow him to do what he needs to don't try to talk to him and interrupt the procedure!
By having a clear restart the TCL command should work!
Just don't rush it take your time!
The Clipping trick is just silly IMO!
Either walk through a door or use tcl if you need to!
Good luck

I just simplay opened the console, clicked on the "door" and typed "disable" ;)

Nice going on a bump of a year old thread .....

It's a known bug. It's happened to me. I cant remember exactly what causes it, probably trying to talk to Erandur before he's ready. In any case, you're just going to have to go back to an earlier save.

p.s. Trying to use the plate glitch would not have worked, because there's nothing behind that door but empty space. Glitching through won't magically load the interior, which is in a separate world space.

I know it's one year old, but since there are still people playing skyrim and this is a common glitch + this page is one of the first you find on google, I thought that I'd also share my solution. :D :P

Thanks, JBlackCZ! I had that same bug for ages, and you solved it.

No problem mate ;) :P

I'm so grateful you posted your solution, JBlackCZ! Finally, I can see what's behind the door.

Okay, so I encountered this glitch NOT on the original console version, but on the PS4 re-release. I tried reloading my quicksaves from before I entered over and over, but it didn't work until I went with a quicksave that was BEFORE I did anything in the first room (get the shrine blessing, open the chest, etc.).

I immediately left, and--I don't know if this was the problem, but I did two things when the glitch happened: I entered the temple with my weapon drawn, and I entered before Erandur did (after you talk to him outside, it says to "follow Erandur").

I sheathed my weapon, then talked to Erandur, then waited for him to go in. I followed him in, in this fashion, and he opened the door no problems.

Hope this helps!
