Angel -- Dal'Galar

[Utsuro Seizon]

I have gotten into the Quest Angel, and up to the point where I need to examine each tower for clues for the passcode. In one tower I got to where I examined the book and see the vision of telling Maya a story, and then it tells me that I should tell Calia about it. When I go to do so she continues to lean on the table and will only say "Anything?'. I tried the other tower and got to where I found the letter and to where it tells me to show Calia the letter...again when I try to do so she only stops long enough to say "Anything?" and continue to pace the room. Is anyone else having this issue, or am I missing something, or is mine just broken and not able to be completed now?

I just completed Angel through last night and this morning. I did not have that problem.

It might be a bug. Do you use any mods?

[Utsuro Seizon]

I use the mods for fast travel, ice claw+5, and longer summons/magelight although none of them have given me problems so far. I've gotten so far into the game and seem to be stuck on this quest for some reason that eludes me

Then try the classic "rollback to an older save" thing. Preferably one before you entered the castle at all.

[Utsuro Seizon]

Unfortunately, I cycle between just a handful of saves and my oldest one is just before where Calia tells me to throw the powder into the crevice to destroy the barrier and enter the tower. My messup, I know, and it sucks. I even tried to reload that save and just redo that short section and it did the same where it won't trigger the quest to continue for some reason. I was really hoping I hadn't screwed up the game, especially after having 97 hours into it and enjoying it pretty well, is there maybe a console command to trigger the quest into me needing to input the 2 parts of the password?

[Jouchebag]

I wouldn't know it.

But this is precisely why you keep 4-5 back up saves spanning 8-10 hours when playing any Bethesda RPG.

[Utsuro Seizon]

Very true, seems to be pretty common that something breaks and ruins the time and experience up to that point without enough backups. I can't figure out either how to do much with console commands or which one is correct for the Angel quest to try skipping ahead. My loss, but thanks for trying to help anyway

So I didn't exactly solve my bug, although I played around with the console commands and think I may have finally found one that let me complete the Angel quest without having to enter the passcode and go through the rest of Dal'Galar castle. In case anyone else may need it later:
player.setstage MQ11a 220
That finished Angel quest completely and allowed me to return to Archmagister Lexil to give him the black stone. Sure, I missed out on a bit of the story with Calia and all, but this may be my only choice to continue on with the game.

Be sure that 1 day later you get a courier letter to start Calia's next quest (Two Souls IV? I think).

I don't recall getting a letter or see one in inventory, but I do have Two Souls, Part IV as active quest now, so I suppose that's a good sign I can continue playing for now without worries, so long as I don't abuse fast travel during follow objectives as @AggroBuLLeT warns
