So I've gone through the entire questline of the Dawnguard quest "Lost To the Ages" up until i have to forge something at the Aetherium Forge. However, once I forge somethingg, the quest doesn't update and complete. Talking to Katria yields the same dialogue options to right before you forge something. The stairs won't come up and I am stuck in the forge with no way to leave except to use the coc console code. I did, however, use the console to give myself the Aetherial Shield and Aetherial Staff before I even started the Dawnguard questlne, making sure I left the Aetherial Crown to be made at the forge. I tried going back through the quest by reloading a previous save and removing the Aetherial Shield from my inventory before pickng up the 3rd shard (I already have the shard from Ralbdthar, and the Aetherial Staff is already stored at one of my homes). Nothing seems to work. I tried using the console to advance through the quest, but setstage didn't work. The only code that worked was "CompleteQuest DLC1LD", which cleared the quest but Katria didn't leave and I was still stuck in the forge. The only difference between now and the first time I completed the quest was that I didn't have the Aetherial Shield or Staff before the quest started. Everything else was the same.
So now, I am stuck with the quest marker telling me to use the forge even though I've already made the crown, meaning the quest was supposed to update but didn't, and I have no idea how to get out of it. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and have you found a solution? Any help would be much obliged.
