The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
I can't ever get that journal entry!
1 of 5: Several people have written in about this glitch, though I've never experienced it.
2 of 5: Try walking all around the pile of dead bodies/skeletons and waiting to see if you get the journal entry.
3 of 5: If not, try working ahead by clearing out the entire cave complex (including the Dry Rock Run area) of trolls, then coming back and moving around the bodies to see if you'll get the journal entry then.
4 of 5: If you can't ever get it, and are playing on the PC, you can use this console command to force it in:
setstage fgc10swamp 40
5 of 5: If that doesn't work, try the same command with a 35 instead of a 40.
