Delphine and Esbern wait forever at the Karthspire bridge puzzle
What happens
If you already explored the Karthspire and lowered the bridge before this quest, Delphine and Esbern run back to the first puzzle after the Blood Seal and wait indefinitely.
PS5-safe fix
Reload a save from before the Blood Seal. Right after activating it, equip the full Unrelenting Force and shout Delphine or Esbern into the opened entrance; they follow you in. If that fails: choose to travel together when leaving the Sleeping Giant Inn, go outside and fast travel straight to Sky Haven Temple, let them do the seal, then walk up the stairs first.
Prevention
Don't solve the Karthspire puzzles before starting Alduin's Wall.
Always make a hard save before trying a fix.
