Hello again everybody. I continue playing the mod, it's not a kind of a testing, I'm just a consumer who enjoys the mod. I write here when I encounter a problem, because there's no other communities (as far as I know) where I could get help. I'm doing a quest of Imperial cult in Helnim -- the Sword of Taldeus. I've come to the Omathi tomb, searched it whole and found no sword. I've opened the TES CS and found that a room with the sword is immured. The only pass to it is blocked with a wall. I want to know if it is a puzzle I must solve (activator?..) or a bug.

There's a key hidden in the tomb that should cause the wall to disappear if the player has it in their inventory; have you found it yet?

No, I haven't found a key. I'll look once again. Thanks for the information.

Just ran across this quest and have been stuck on it for a while.  At this point I just want to get it done as it's been sitting in my journal for days now and I'm seemingly too stupid to find the key.  If anybody has anything please do tell.

Hello, what is the name of the quest in game? I've looked at the UESP page for TR quests (Helnim's Imperial Cult specifically) and couldn't find one named "The Sword of Taldeus". The closest I could find was "A Symbol of Hope" which unfortunately doesn't have an entry in the UESP page (most do, but as there's a lot of quests and someone has to create the pages themselves most of us usually don't have the time/will to do them while also modding & doing irl stuff).

If the wall is an activator (I assume it is) there might be a script involved, or I, you, or someone else could look at the item list for the Omathi Tomb interior and pin point the key.

I wish I could be more help rn, but I've never played the quest. 

Rawr.

The questgiver gives 2 clues, the "Lament of Taldeus" text (I don't understand why), and he also says it's a key and gives you two Detect Key scrolls. You should be able to find it with key detection using the minimap, though since it's behind a skull in an ashpit it might have an issue with skull model replacers.

Yeah Violet it's the quest "A symbol of hope".  Lol i tried uesp too but like you said no entry for it yet.  Rot that's the clue I needed haha I think i can finally clear this quest now.  Thank you both for the help gentleman.

I have passed the quest. The priest who gives the quest also gives 2 scrolls of detect key. Just use them. The key is lying on the floor in a circle of sand, among bone fragments.

Concerning the text on the scroll, you must pay attention to the phrases "nothing is right", "...to center myself but find emptiness..." and "you are left". You will understand what it means when it comes to it.

Lol yeah I got the quest done after Rot narrowed it down.  The scroll riddle was childs play, I just couldn't find the key :p.
