Issue #11965: [Dragonborn] Deathbrand unable to get the helm

 
UDBP#1.207 There's a problem with the Haknir quest: If Haknir Death-Brand is defeated before getting the helm, then you can't get the rest of the armor.
--------------------
The quest this refers to is Deathbrand.

UDBP#2.55 Bug concerning quest Deathbrand ID DLC2dunHaknirTreasureQST<br>
- Got quest from book Deathbrand ID xx03661a<br>
- Did not go to indicator on map instead went to Gyldenhul Barrow console location codes: DLC2GyldenhulBarrow01, DLC2GyldenhulBarrowExterior01<br>
- Door to instance was lockpickable, picked the lock and the Wax key perk got me Gyldenhul Barrow Key ID xx018d1c<br>
- After walking through the dungeon came upon locked door which required key to Haknir Deathbrand boss fight and the Gyldenhul Barrow Key opened the door<br>
- Killed Haknir Deathbrand<br>
- Went outside and to the quest location Haknir's Shoal console location codes: DLC2HaknirsShoalExterior01, DLC2HaknirsTreasurePOI02<br>
- Killed pirates and looted Deathbrand Treasure Map ID xx02baae<br>
- Quest does not bump to stage 30 or 31 because stage 100 has already been met though the quest does not update to this stage either<br><br>
What I expected to happen<br>
- Either the front door of the Gyldenhul Barrow to require a key to the lock instead of it being lockpickable (though this would be a nasty fix since it wouldn't help players currently having this problem)<br>
- The quest still allowing stages 30, 31, 70, 80, 90 to be completed even after killing Haknir Deathbrand

The quest can't bump backward to previous stages because stage 100 calls stage 200 which shuts the entire quest down. It's configured to run once, so once it's stopped, that's it. There's no restarting it. Even if the "run once" flag were removed, it wouldn't help.

That leaves us with the slightly less desirable fix of simply locking the door as requiring the key. Unless there's a way to leave it alone and not allow Wax Key to circumvent things in this instance.

For now, fixing it the only way possible. Those folks who didn't proceed to killing the boss can still extricate themselves from the situation before it's too late.
