Barrier doesn't drop after taking the soul gem

Daedric questsProgress-blockingWorkaround

What happens

After removing the soul gem the barrier stays up and you can't talk to Erandur.

PS5-safe fix

Go on to the Skull room yourself; Erandur should be waiting. Talk to him immediately or he walks back behind the barrier. If he isn't there, load a save from the inn.

Always make a hard save before trying a fix.
