Purity Glitch

I've been playing Skyrim since it come out, but over the past year the Purity Quest has a Major Glitch.

When Vilkas asks to be cured of the Beats Blood I/we fast travel to the Tomb of Ysgramor, but as I/we attempt to go in he walks off saying there's a job/work to be done.

This leaves me with 2 problems:

1 Quest Incomplete !

2 I have an Invisible Follower ! Which means I cant ask anyone else to Follow !

Skyrim - Purity of Revenge glitch

Skyrim is the quirkiest of all the ElderScrolls games when it comes to glitched quests. You can do everything sequentially without doing ANYTHING AT ALL to screw up a quest and it STILL will be broken. I have one quest to get the word of power from a certain
location from that dude on High Hrothgar, I slay the Dragon get the word, and the quest won't update. I have three finished quests I have been paid for by Jarl Skald in Dawnstar that won't update. If you find an item, before you get the quest to find it, even
though it's in your inventory, you usually can't give it to the person who wants it. One quest, I'm sent to steal a bottle fancy mead by a disgruntled wife--and it's not there! Started the quest again from a save--and it is! Go figure. Starting quest in a
set location involving a NPC/companion(Not one of THE COMPANIONS) without activating it properly in the menu first=glitched quest--AND IT'S THE NPC THAT GLITCHES IT!

Try posting in the actual Skyrim thread. You are more likely to get better answers there.

 

This a known bug caused by accepting Vilkas's Purity quest before Farkas. To resolve it accept and finish Farkas's Purity quest first and be sure that the quest giver is following you the whole way through.

To avoid bugs on this quest

First speak to Vilkas. He gives you a random quest, then he gives you his Purity quest (Remember to have the heads in your inventory). Decline his Purity quest. If Farkas doesn't give you any quest after that, take an Aela's random quest and complete it.
This will unblock Farkas random quest. Do it and then complete his Purity quest. When thats done, Vilkas will complete his Purity quest without a problem.

After you complete Purity with either Farkas or Vilkas , if you immediately go talk to the other one, sometimes the quest will show up in your completed quest section, and you will not be able to activate the altar in Ysgrammor's tomb. This can be solved
by loading a save state from before you accepted the first Purity mission, re-completing it, then doing another mission. Any mission should do, you can take an Animal Extermination mission from Aela that does the job nicely. After doing another mission, talking
to the second of the two brothers starts the mission the way it's supposed to and you can complete it, making both Farkas and Vilkas very happy with you.
