Skyrim Thieves Guild Bug

Skyrim Thieves Guild Bug - Green Grasshopper on Person's Hand

I know my game is glitched, because it's been well documented on every wiki and forum I've looked at, but I need an answer.

I've gone through all the mainline quests, killing Mercer, returning the skeleton key, and doing side quests until I've completed all the special quests in Windhelm, White Run, Markarth, and Solitude. I even did the quest to deliver moon sugar to the Khajiit caravan. I've completed "Under New Management", but I've never got the "Tribute Chest Key" and now Bryjolf won't talk to me. I got my guildmaster armor and Delvin refers to me as "Boss" but Bryn still won't talk to me or give me the key!

I always save over my last save so going back is not an option but I am playing PC so console commands are.

And I know there's hidden dialogue they wrote into the game, recorded etc. But it still won't come up because of the glitch.

I can't install the mod that opens up the dialogue so that option is out.

Is there any hope for my dilemma or am I out of luck? Are there console commands for this? If so, what are they?



Best Answer

Since you are on the PC you can give yourself a key via this console command:

player.additem 000F84CB 1

@Nelson is correct though, the chest is glitchy and won't restock properly so you won't miss much.

How do you fix Brynjolf bug?

You have to completel the side quests that lead to city influence quests and complete them, and Brynjolf will talk to you again. It isn't a bug. After you finish the Thieves Guild quest line, Brynjolf won't have anymore dialogue for you to interact with.

How do I repair the Thieves Guild glitch?

In order to restore the Thieves Guild to its former glory and assume the title of Guild Master, you must perform small jobs in four holds of Skyrim: Haafingar, the Reach, Whiterun, and Eastmarch. To get an improvement job, talk to Delvin Mallory or Vex; you can have one quest active from each.

Can you fix the Thieves Guild?

This Thieves Guild quest is attainable after the Dragonborn has broken any of the rules of the Thieves Guild, such as being seen attacking or killing an important client or members of their family. As a consequence, the Dragonborn is kicked out of the guild and generally shunned by the members of the guild.
