    Bugged on Xbox as of 9/1. Same as others, got sent back to beginning and can't get into room after puzzle.

    Thank you for the fix with today's patch. Although I will need to repeat the quest from the beginning, at least I know that I will be able to complete the quest.

    This bug is still in place. If I can make a suggestion, ZOS - it seems to be an issue with Narsis being very, very slow to recognize the completion trigger (when the Matriarch dies). It is very easy for people to simply walk into the next room (as the quest indicator tells you to do) without having a conversation with him (assuming that is what is required to proceed; I got teleported out to the beginning of the dungeon as well and can't complete anything).

    This just happened to me 2 hours ago.

    If anyone else is still having trouble with this: what you need to do is abandon the quest. Be patient through every step. Sometimes you have to prompt Narsis to move forward, sometimes you just need to wait for him.

    ONCE YOU KILL THE MATRIARCH: do not just run into the next room, even though you can. When Narsis comes out of his cowering stupor (you may have to walk up to the door WITHOUT going in to trigger this), he'll walk up the steps, triggering the next quest completion marker, follow him into the room and finish out the conversation, you will be able to complete the quest at that point.

    I just came across this glitch doing this quest for the first time. I'll give that a try when I have the time, c0ldblue. I'm irritated that this has not been taken care of when so many people have submitted tickets about it. I just submitted one myself before logging in and finding this thread. Whatever.

    Just happened to me as well. So frustrating. Been going on for months and nothing done.

    I just got stuck on this quest tonight. Looking at this thread they have said they have been looking into a fix for this since June 9th. Its October 13th, 4 month+ response time on getting a fix in for a blocked quest, should I just delete then?

    I was able to finish this quest this time following your advice. Thank you for posting this.

    After doing the floor puzzle the door opened but I cant enter the room, an invisible wall blocks the way. This bug still in place as of today, will do a ticket. Guess a year later and they haven't bothered to fix it, and would rather release a new expansion instead.

    *edit*

    I left the room, came back in twice and then the door showed closed again, so then i went through the correct steps on the floor, door opened again but this time i could go through!
