How can I start the Thieves Guild quests if Brynolf is hiding from me?
I have just kind of learned about the Nightingale armor and how cool it is an all. I figured out I have to complete the Thieves Guild quest line.
I went into my quests and do not see a quest on the list of quests I found for the specific quest line. Here is my problem. I have joined the guild, but that was a long time ago. I have no clue weather I succeeded in planting the ring or not. In addition, no matter where I look, I can not find Brynjolf in Riften. Is there any way I can still start these quests?
Also, all of the odd jobs I ask for are auxiliary quests except the "No Stone Unturned" quest and I only need Proudspire Manor to complete that quest. Is that another way to access the main quest line?
Best Answer
Brynjolf won't be in Riften proper once you do the initial ring-planting quest (A Chance Arrangement). He moves to the Ratway once you finish the quest (successfully or not; failing to plant the ring does not prevent you from joining the guild).
If you can't find him in Riften's market or the Bee and Barb, and you can't find him in the Ratway, you may have encountered a bug.

How do I trigger the Thieves Guild quest?
To start this questline speak to Brynjolf in Riften. He owns one of the market stands in the center of town and can be often found wandering in the streets, the marketplace, or in the Ragged Flagon and its extensions.How do you fix the Brynjolf glitch?
Solution was to disable the "Sjel Blad Castle" mod I had installed. Luckily I had a quicksave right as Brynjolf was standing up to walk to the Cistern, unlock the pantry. Used console command "setstage TG02 10" to start the Loud and Clear quest before he got there and that gave me the marker to follow Brynjolf.How do you unlock the Thieves Guild special quests?

Brynjolf has Time for You! To Start the mod. you must now open the journal on the cupboard shelf near the ladder in the cistern (see pic). This is the latest version of the mod, and includes a fair amount of additional dialogue, specifically in the break-up and getting back together mode.Skyrim SE: Thieves Guild Questline Glitch Fix Tutorial!
