Karliah/ Thieves Guild/ Nightingale Glitch SOLUTION.

[WhiskeyActual]

First let me say there are a few solutions out there that i've seen but to my knowlege majority of them only work for some people. I was one of those people until I came up with my own solution, which should work for EVERYONE.

This is also the fastest and most definate solution that i've used for the Karliah glitch. The glitch that i'm speaking of is when you meet Karliah & Byrnj at Nightingale hall, receive the armor and complete the dialogue only to have Karliah walk away from a gate that only she can open. This solution should only take you about 2mins to do.

1. First, after equiping the Nightingale armor, completeing the dialogue with Bryn & Karliah, and accepting the Nightingale responsibility Karliah wil say something like "lets proceed and/or "follow me". But, she will walk away from the objective. As soon as she does this open the console menu by pressing the tilda key ( ~ ).

2. After the console menu opens enter (without the quotations) "setstage tg08a 52" and select enter. If you've done this correctly Karliah will turn around and proceed to the gate, torward the objective like she should. But she will not open it like she is supposed to, she will walk back and forth bumping into the gate and the walls. But don't worry.

3. Now that Brynj and Karliah are both standing at the gate, leave Nightingale Hall and exit to Skyrim. Once outside go back into the hall and got straight to the gate. Both will be on the otherside standing where they're supposed to be.

4. Now that they're on the other side it is now time for you to get over there. Do this by opening the console menu again and type " tcl" and hit enter. The console will say "collisions off" if you have done this correctly. Exit the console and walk through the gate, and once on the other side to turn collison back on enter "tcl" again and you will notice the "collisons on" message.

5. After you're done with the scene and finished selling your sole to the goddes of thieves simply enter "tcl" once again to walk through the gate and proceed to exit the Hall of Nightingales.

BAM! You're done! Check my screenshots to view the process if you would like.

If there is any other glitches that prevent you from going through a door or gate this same process should work for the also.

I'm having an issue where after I get the Falmer's Eye and return to the Nightengale's Hall that I can not further the quest to become "The Thieve's Guild's Master" or anything else with the Nightengale...

^Thats odd, have you been able to return the skeleton key to Nocturnal? I believe that is the next quest in order to complete the entire thieves guild/ Nightingale quest. If you have not done this you will not beceome the thieves guild master. I have not returned the key to Nocturnal 'yet' because I would like to keep using it for other quest and it won't hurt or matter if you don't, you just won't receive the perks and rewards until you do.

I found out the issue was I had not taken enough side missions from Vex and Delvin to "Restore the Thieve's Guild to its Glory"

the Setstage tg08a thing isnt working for me and I'm putting it in correctly. It says parameter not found even if I put a space and 1 after it

[daver105]

got the glitch taken care of, I just followed the instructions in the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=835h8VpmeE0

[WhiskeyActual]

Its actually "tg08a 52", sorry about that. Yes i've seen this video and it didn't work for me.

I'm having a problem where I can't start "Blindsighted". I complete "Trinity Restored" but it doesn't start the next quest and 'setstage tg08b 10' doesn't do anything. Any ideas?

[strmstr1991]

Thats funny. I had no issues with quest. Everything went smoothly, which is obviously good. I was just curious as to why. Is this a glitch only few people experience?

Maybe you should download the unofficial Skyrim patch. I installed it from the beginning and never had problems with this quest.

I don't have the patch and still don't have any issues. Maybe they fixed it?

all depends on where u stand ive gone throught it without the bug, and ive had since i got the unofficall patches though ive had a ton less problems and after cleaning my mods and using wyrebash ive acctully got the game running pretty bug free and on an older sytem with only a crapy onboard videocard :) get patches clean mods read http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50214/ and be happy :)

Just use the UESP wiki or the ELDER SCROLLS wiki. They contain solutions for all kinds of bugs including for the Trinity Quest.
Also note that using the "TCL" command might actually cause quests not to trigger. Because they work on detecting you on entering a certain area.
