Exact same thing happened to me, Windshear. I tried submitting a bug report from inside the game, but that doesn't seem to work anymore (submit button grayed out)

Same exact thing happened to me… super frustrating. Now that I’ve left that quest for a moment it has knocked me back to “Enter the sea”. Ugh 🙄

Same, just happened to me as well. I made it to entering the prison, I watched the entire scene with torv walking into the next area, but he is not there.

After leaving the area and returning a second time i encountered hermaus mora (he actually appeared this time and i was allowed to speak with him), this allowed me to continue and finish the quest. The first time i went there he did not appear which allowed to me to walk straight past him and skip the dialogue i believe this may be the problem i encountered

khajiit had finished the Apocrypha main quest, and still has this bug stopping him from going into Mythos Spire.

Very disappointing.

Bugged at the enter Ithelia's Prison part, no show once you use the portal.

OK, This may help anyone stuck at the part I was, Portal out and the quest will reset at Enter the sea, in VVardenfell.

Follow the quest to you get to the part of "Talk to Hermaeus Mora" , its just before Enter Mythos Portal. Make sure you talk to it and the Ithelia's Prison part should work.

If it doesn't work, must be another bug, but talking to Hermaeus Mora worked for me as I entered the Mythos Portal the first time without talking to him.

Update: I went back to Enter the Sea and it had reset this time. I was able to successfully complete the quest then.

I hope it works on my other 5 characters that haven't done this yet.

I did it on 3 more characters today and it seems to be working fine now.

You may have passed this on to the team but it is the 10th of April and I could not follow Torvesard into the mythos spire portal.

So there's been no definitive, official "Fix Prologue Quest" effort on the part of the Devs yet, yes?

Kind of hard to understand why something like this happens at this stage in the game's life-cycle.

@ZOS_Kevin any news on this?

Thanks in advance

I have a different bug than mentioned here and it's also making the quest incompletable.

Leramil doesn't spawn in Mythos at the very end after the last dialogue with Hermaeus Mora. I checked a video walkthrough to confirm where she should spawn.

Going through the portals six hundred times didn't work, reloading UI six hundred times didn't work, relogging didn't work.

I tried teleporting out to walk back through, but I can't enter the water anymore. When I try to enter, it says ''You don't have this quest'' despite it being in my quest log telling me to ''return to Mythos.''


I guess I seriously have to drop the quest and redo it again, but it looks like there's several other ways it can bug itself with no fix

Like...


edit: I did drop the quest and redo the whole thing, and I encountered neither the bug I originally got nor any of the others mentioned. I didn't do anything differently other than not read the lorebooks that were around, since I read them the first time, and not let everyone's spoken dialogue play through, since I listened to all of it through the first time. I doubt any of that's related though.

I got to the area before the last room and the guy just stood with his sword pointed at the door. Went in room and nothing. Exited and guy still pointing sword at door. Back and forth a few times and same thing.

So I dropped the quest and restarted and was able to complete it on the same character.

The time it bugged, I skipped dialog and did not complete the quest in a single run through. Read some books. Hermaeus Mora appeared.

The time it completed, I did a different order of portals, waited for all dialog, and did a straight playthrough (other than slaughtering some livestock).

Seems pretty random to me based on what others report.
