I can't finish the quest no matter what I do!
  • 1 of 4: Are you sure you destroyed all eight Imp generators?
  • 2 of 4: If so, there's only one problem that I know of that you could have.
  • 3 of 4: If you don't have a game patch, you must enter the keep for the first time fully rested and ready and then not leave until all the Imp generators are destroyed. You should always enter the keep through its top-level entrance, destroy the six generators in that area, and then use the levers to get to the northern section and destroy those last two generators. Only then is it "safe" to leave.
  • 4 of 4: If you've already messed it up and don't have a recent save, you could wait the 30 days or so until the entire keep regenerates, and then have another shot at doing it right. Another possibility is to use the Minisaves cheat to force an early regeneration.
