Quest item has been pushed through a wall

I'm currently playing through the Tending the Flames quest. I have reached the point where I'm in the room where Svaknir's body and soul are located, and the book should be, but it wasn't there.

I tried the console command tfc to go and look through the walls, and I saw the book had somehow dropped just below the floor.

Without replaying the whole tomb from the start, is there a way to just move that item using a console command to a place above the ground where I can take it? Or to just move it to my inventory? I want a risk free way of doing it, up to now my game hasn't had a single bug!

Cheers


Solution 1:

You should be able to use the tcl command to toggle clipping on your character. Go under the floor where the item fell and pick it up. Once you have it, return above the ground and enter tcl again, which will re-enable clipping.

Solution 2:

For those on an XBOX or PS3, the same wiki page where you reference the quest actually has other suggestions for getting the verse back:

Using the Dawnbreaker anywhere in the dungeon and causing a corpse explosion effect triggers a bug that clips the verse into the floor, making it irretrievable and breaking the quest. When this bug appears simply walk back then kill the two undead with the Dawnbraker, return and the verse should be visible. Alternatively, use a fireball (or any other explosives) to "shake up things" and verse will fall out of the rock.

The verse is stuck underneath the ground. Using "tcl" (noclip) in console will let you dive under the surface to pick it up. Just be sure to turn noclip back on when you're on solid ground again.
