Wayward Knight: How Open War Gate?

[arsesq]

Just so you know, I got through. First I used "coc cheydinhalbridgeinn" to get myself back on the other side of the Oblivion Gate. Then I went through the Oblivion Gate again, and this time crept *very* slowly down the path. I had been too hasty before. The path didn't peter out. Instead, I found the proper entrance to The Bowels. I got through that part of The Bowels without finding any lever to open the War Gate.

Then I followed the path south to the second entrance to The Bowels. Didn't find any lever there either. Dropped through two levels to the bottom, and emerged where the Wayward Knight and his sidekick awaited me.

I avoided conversation with them and went right to the War Gate. Still said this gate was opened elsewhere.

I resorted to the console again. I tried clicking on the gate and entering "unlock". It reported the War Gate was unlocked, but when I tried it was still shut.

I tried "tgm", but even in God Mode I couldn't budge the War Gate.

Finally I clicked on the War Gate and entered "disable". It disappeared and I waltzed through the empty space where it had been, dispatched a couple of daedra, and now stand just inside the entrance to the Main Tower.

Pfui. Still, thanks for all your help. Your suggestions involving the console led me to an effective workaround. I still wonder what I did wrong, but I'm too sick of this place to care anymore.

Curious, I didn't suggest disabling the gate, as when I tried that once on that particular gate it didn't work. Glad you've got through it though.

Interesting.

For the record, I reached the Sigil Stone, touched it, and landed with both knights alive where the Oblivion Gate had been. Got all my rewards. Now if I could only remember what I had in mind before I got distracted by this Quest in the first place.
