I defeated Balreth and I am suppose to contain his soul. but there is nothing to contain. Am I missing something?

    Just tried the quest again.. Its still broken. Apparently the downtime today wasn't to fix this issue.. I am stuck until this is fixed. Apparently this quest is needed to be complete to continue on in this area.

    Still can't contain the soul. Tried workabouts - reloading quest, ui, zone, teleportations by wayshrines, etc. Still doesn't work.
    Too cold for nord?

    A very long thread including official word on the matter is located here.

    In short, make sure the NPC is in battle when killing Balreth. Re-enter the zone if the NPC is out of combat just before the kill. That seems to be working for most (but is not 100% confirmed to be working).

    Its happened to a friend of mine although a few people are saying if you do the quest in a group it works however I've not tried it myself as I'm not at that level yet but I'd give it a try.

    I had the same thing happen, killed him solo, no soul to contain, went back in with a group and did it, it worked.

    It is currently known by few that in order to kill Balreth without the glitch occurring, form a group of 3+ and defeat him together. Do not loot the body until after you contain his soul.

    From my personal experience, I already have done this and it worked out well.

    Not looting the body was the important part. I managed it solo. Also note that if the exit portal doesn't appear a wayshrine out works to complete the quest.
