goggs25 · January 2021

This quest is broken it tells to take the golden skull but there is no golden skull on the altar.

So. I just ran into this glitch as well, while still in the ritual room I logged out of eso and back in. For me that fixed it, the skull was on the podium and I was able to take it and exit the “cave” Good luck.

Yeah sometimes you just have to relog.

Ugh, tried relogging, even quitting. NO skull. Can't believe that this is not fixed yet. WTAF?

Quest is still broken. I’m going to report it and pray it gets fixed.

3/7/2025 Same deal, nothing happening in the Cursed Skull Chamber, no undead popping, cannot reset ritual cylinders. Finally I stepped outside the room and engaged the small named that was too sleepy or slow to bother with previously. Once this named died, I was able to re-enter the ritual cylinder room and freely engage the undead, reset all 4 cylinders, and finally gather the Golden Skull. It appears that sneaking past some bad guys roils quest sensibilities - seen that before.

Greetings,

We have closed this topic as it was originally created in January 2021. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

Thank you for your understanding.
