The World-Eater’s Eyrie – Broken Ring Puzzle Door with Diamond Claw in Skuldafn Temple

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I have browsed all of the google hoping to find an answer to my problem.
I am in Skuldafn Temple, and I'm having the same problem others seem to have had with the ring puzzle door.

Initially, the rings wouldn't move at all. I went back one loading screen and returned to fix it.
Now, the pattern is correct, but the key does not open the door.

  • I have exited the entire dungeon and re-entered
  • I have made sure the left (unnecessary) door/gate is closed on the first pillar puzzle.
  • I have saved and reloaded.
  • I have gone to the Xbox dash, powered off, etc, the console.
  • I have tried several erroneous arrangements.
  • I have cleared my cache, some old saves, and the system cache.

And I'm unable to climb the mountain. I tried for a half hour, and after making no progress I gave up.

same thing happened to me, the solution for me was reloading a previous save before I tried the door, exiting the dungeon and then re-entering and trying this again.
