Morrowind talk:Corprus Cure

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

I just wanted to post a bug with Fyr that affects the main quest before this point in the game. I don't have any wiki experience, so here goes, perhaps someone else can put this in its place.

If you ever speak to Divayth Fyr before you've contracted Corprus (for example, trying to figure out Miner Arobar's Telvanni ties as a Redoran Council hopeful), and you happen to have a Dwemer Coherer in inventory, your journal and the main quest will be broken. Fyr will assume that you've been sent by Caius, with the interesting artifact as a gift, and you'll get certain journal entries relating to the cure for Corprus too early. The problem is, at this point, the game doesn't check to see if you have Corprus - only if you've got a Coherer. When you return to Caius, all he'll say about your Orders is that you need to go get your Corprus cured. Which you don't have and can't get. But Fyr WILL do the check for Corprus before talking about the cure, so the quest is stuck in a loop.

I don't believe there's a true fix for this problem, as I couldn't find a way to delete journal entries. But the game sets the Journal index according to what entries you have on loading, and you can change the index after it's been set. It's usually the journal index that gets used by the game in determining where you are in the quests.

If you've gotten yourself into this mixup (as I did), then before you speak to Caius, enter this in the console:

SetJournalIndex "A2_3_CorprusCure" 0

Unfortunately, you'll have to do this after every reload if you want to talk to the Spymaster.

Once you've actually contracted Corprus and Cosades sends you to Fyr, things should be practically back to normal, and you won't have to do the console entry. I was lucky. I was given the "Visit Sul-Matuul" orders before finding out about this mess, and the end of the next mission gets me Corprus disease.

Best is to avoid this. If Cosades hasn't ordered you to see Fyr to get your Corprus cured yet, and you need to talk with Fyr, make certain you don't have a Dwemer Coherer on you.

[edit] Travel Problems

Not sure if it's possible to use the Mages Guild Guide for the journey -- when I try in Balmora, they won't speak to me because of the disease.213.67.148.6 09:04, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

Try to raise their disposition through Charm preferably, or if desperate, Telvanni Bug Musk, that should do the trick. Never had this myself, because I always do some Mage Guild quest before going too far into the MQ. --Benould 12:20, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Guarskin Drum?

I found A guarskin drum in the corprusarium and I brought it down to the bowels to give to Uupse Fyr... But all she says is "I see you found a guarskin drum." There's no removing it from my inventory. Are there two, then? Where's the other one?76.178.149.127 12:09, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

There are a few, but whichever one you use, you need to talk to her about "guarskin drum", at which point she will take it from you. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 12:23, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

The Creeper has one for sale. If you explore the topic with Uupse it might help you with the inmates chasing you... --Benould^•T•C 14:38, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Help?

I spoke to Divayith Fyr before the quest. I just finished speaking to the Wise-Woman in the Urshilaku camp, and Caius said i have Corpus disease, and to go cure it t Tel Fyr. Everyone talks to me normal, but when i went to Tel Fyr, Divayith didn't have anything about me being infected. I raised his disposition to 100, and still no. Caius won't advance the quest till its "cured". What do i do? - Lucky the Cat Guy 00:17, 14 August 2008 (EDT)

I should also add that when i spoke to him, he did mention the Dwemer artifact, but i didn't give it because i didn't know what he ment. But i got his disposition up. Also, i DID go into the Corprusinium (?) but i didn't know if that affected me, because my agility is very high and none of the creatures were able to lay a hand on me. Also, when Caius told me to get a cure, there was no journal entry. Also, i play on the Xbox version, so no console command suggestions please. this was Right after i came back with the Bonemold bow, and talked to the wise woman, then went to Caius. I spoke to Divayith before i got the Bow. - Lucky the Cat Guy 06:38, 14 August 2008 (EDT)

Do you actually have Corpus? Does Corpus actually show in your effects list? If not, you have probably invoked the bug mentioned at the top of this page. --Brf 08:07, 14 August 2008 (EDT)

No i don't, but when i didn't give the artifact, there wasn't a journal entry, so i don't think it could be the same as the bug at the top.

If you did not do the Sixth House Base quest to catch Corpus, and Caius still thinks you have Corpus, then it is the bug. The bug does not say you have to give the artifact to Divayith, only that you had to have one in hand. --Brf 16:15, 15 August 2008 (EDT)

SO basically now because of one little screw up i can never complete the main quest on my guy who got Full Daidric, completed both the Tribuanl and Bloodmoon quests, and got over 12 artifacts? That sucks...alot...(i play on the Xbox) - Lucky the Cat Guy. 13:56, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

Well... does it still aloow you to go and catch Corpus at the Sixth House base? --Brf 09:35, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Uh...Well, i don't have the quest...but i can go there and kill the thing on my own and get it?

I dont know. That is what I was asking. --Brf 13:57, 25 August 2008 (EDT)
