Hamal sometimes suffers from "light

Hamal sometimes suffers from "lightning fast dialogue," the same bug that has been noticed with [[Esbern (Skyrim)|Esbern]], causing Hamal and the priestesses to attack the player.
**Avoid this situation by entering the Inner Sanctum using a key [[pickpocket]]ed from [[Senna]], instead of picking the lock.
**Using the Scroll of Harmony can prevent any of the priestesses from attacking, and Hamal can be talked to normally.
**Reloading from a previous save works occasionally as well.
*{{ALLPLAT}} When the Sybil leaves after the quest finishes, she re-locks the expert lock on the inner sanctum door, possibly trapping the Dragonborn. Waiting will eventually cause the door to unlock.
*{{PC}}{{XBOX}} Occasionally, Enmon will "forget" who the Dragonborn is during the escape from Broken Tower Redoubt, causing him to repeat his typical lines about not talking to outsiders. Despite this, he will still accompany the player as if he were a follower.
*{{XBOX}} The Dragonborn must talk to [[Degaine]] and receive the miscellaneous quest "Steal the statue in the [[Temple of Dibella]]" before picking the lock to the Inner Sanctum and getting caught by the priestesses and [[Hamal]]. If they are caught by the priestesses then try to go talk to Degaine to receive the quest, the quest dialog will not show. Degaine is usually at the market in front of the main door of [[Markarth]], and if not he is in [[The Warrens]].
*If the Dragonborn speaks to Degaine and accepts the miscellaneous quest to steal the statue, then goes to the [[Silver-Blood Inn]] and asks the innkeeper about work and rumors, he will give a quest objective to "Speak to Degaine." Since the quest has already been started, this objective cannot be cleared, and will remain in the quest log. If this happens to you before going to the temple, the objective will be cleared upon beginning the temple quest.
*{{XBOX}} If Degaine is killed (such as from a dragon attack), this quest can still be initiated by entering the Inner Sanctum with a key stolen from Senna. When either of the two priestesses attending the rites performed by Hamal sees the Dragonborn, they will approach and give the Dragonborn a choice of either speaking with Hamal, or fighting. The statue is actually a part of a separate miscellaneous quest given by Degaine.
*There is a glitch where, when going to search for the Sybil in Karthwasten, the town will be empty aside from one guard next to the mine. Loading from an earlier save and restarting the game does not appear to fix this glitch.
**This can be fixed on the PC by using the recycleactor [[Console Commands (Skyrim)|command]] in the console, the IDs for the town npcs are: {{ID|00019931, 00019932, 00019933, 00019934, 00019935, 00019936, 000622E7}}
*{{PS3}} It is possible for Enmon to be killed during a dragon attack before the quest appears in the user's journal. The quest can still be completed by heading to Broken Tower Redoubt and talking to Fjotra in the tower's cell.
*The Forsworn Briarheart may not have the key to the jail cell. This may happen if Broken Tower Redoubt has already been visited.
