Question

My sister is having trouble with the Madness quest, we tried 7 times and we can't get through this. Can someone help us?

Community Answer

Find Dervenin in Solitude (near Proudspire Manor and Hall of the Dead). Agree to help him and head to the Blue Palace. Request to enter the forbidden wing (Falk) and go upstairs to the misty hallway. Sheogorath will bring you to his realm and give you Wabbajack. Use it to complete the trials. Arena Trial: Hit one of the guys sitting in the chairs across the arena - they turn to wolves. Nightmares Trial: Hit Pelagius with Wabbajack and strike each enemy to turn them into something non-aggressive. Confidence Trial: Shrink the soldiers attacking Pelagius and increase Pelagius' size, using Wabbajack. Check out UESP.net if you need more help.

Question

I am stuck on this quest. As I was playing, I couldn't figure it out, so "fast traveled" back to Blue Palace. The problem is, my character is still in the clothes and carrying the Wabbajck staff, and I cannot access items or maps. I cannot figure out how to return to Pelagrius M. What do I do?

Community Answer

Problem: You fast-travelled, which therefore caused an error in your game, and it is now unable to be completed. Do not leave the area until you've completed the trials. Check UESP.net for a walkthrough if you need a tip or two. Solution: You will need to reload an older save from before you fast-traveled.

Question

What do I do if my game freezes at a certain part?

Community Answer

Freezing is common in TESV. Quit and reload an old save, then save before reaching the freezing point.

Question

What do I do if I can't go back when completing the Mind of Madness in Skyrim?

Community Answer

You're not supposed to go back after you finish the quest. The area you enter is a "one-time" kind of deal. If you would like to go back, go to a save before you did the quest and repeat it.
