Skyrim - Elderscroll (Dragon) Glitch


Recommended Posts

I have obtained the Elderscroll before I was given the "Elder Knowledge" quest (Thanks to the lexicon quest). Now, I'm attempting to use the scroll at the time fracture and it will not do anything. I read this in a wiki:

Obtaining the Elder Scroll before having to find it before the quest Elder Knowledge breaks the main storyline. There is no known fix besides reloading an old save.

What can I do to correct this if anything other than using an old save? BTW, I'm on the Xbox 360 and I have all of the official DLCs.

I'd say you're screwed. If you were on the pc version you could likely use console commands to change your quest progression but since you're not..

Sadly I agree with this. If the Internet says that the only way to solve it is by reloading an old save, I guess that is the only way. If it were on the PC then you could use console commands, but like me and my PS3 if it messes up I just have to start from an older save.

I have all of my game saves, but when I originally obtained this elderscroll I was doing many other quests which equate to many hours of game play. I think what I'll have to do is just load an old save, beat the main quest line so I can at least see how it all ends and get the achievement and then re-load my save that I'm on on as I am not re-doing everying from that point.

There is a way you can do it however it is NOT easy in the slightest and you also need to have Skyrim on the pc as well.

You can copy the 360 save onto a correctly formatted USB stick, then there s a way to load that save into the PC version and you can then use the PC console commands to fix the quest progress, save and copy the save back to the 360 and off you go. Best thing you can do is google (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=transfer+xbox360+skyrim+save+to+pc) and there's a multitude of ways.

    • I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.
