Can't get out of a mission
I'm stuck in the mission Tending the Flames. First of all, the ghost doesn't have the scroll and no matter what I do, reload, shout, use fire, nothing happens. I can't get the scroll. I also went down a well during the mission and have no way back up and with no previous saves as I cleared all but the last few, is it true I'm just officially stuck in this mission with no way out?
Usually people note their troubles and solutions in the wiki. See the bugs section down the bottom. There's also this wiki, but unless you're on a PC it may be hard to take advantage of the useful console toolset.
If you are on pc you can teleport (out of the well) using moveto
or movetoqt
, and as for finishing the quest you can outright progress (cheat) with setstage
or simply add the missing scroll to your inventory with additem
and hopefully progress the quest normally.
Definitely read up on the commands and save before using them if you're new to the console.
The ID for King Olaf's Verse is 000AE324
if you are going to additem
it, but just make sure you are up to the stage Find King Olaf's Verse
otherwise simply gaining this item won't progress the quest.
