Hi guys,
I'm playing through MotB and I have been exploring the Skein dungeon. Dealt with the hag at the center of it after powering up the three machines, but now I'm stuck.
1) The way I came in no longer appears to be available and I can't reach the stairs up to the top level of the dungeon (locked door in the way).
2) The room with the huge Earth Elemental I need to kill to complete a side quest is now locked. I'm 99% sure it was unlocked before I dealt with the hag, but it has mysteriously shut itself.
I've checked around but haven't found any solution, either work-arounds or cheats or explanations as to how to proceed. I've been back and forth across the entire dungeon maybe five times now and have yet to figure out how to leave or complete the side quest mentioned above. Does anyone have any help they can offer?
Stuck in Skein?

Powering up the three devices should have drained the water, which reveals another way out. Try exploring the new lower areas that have opened up to you.

I swear I've been through it all endlessly (it was the way I got to the hag) but maybe I'm missing something. Also doesn't explain the Earth Elemental door locking itself, I'll be annoyed if I can't complete the quest for absolutely no good reason.

You can only complete one of the two quests that let you out of the skein. If you activate the three devices, then you can't kill the elemental (and vice versa).
It's technically possible to do both quests, but it involves having some party members stay inside the earth elemental room when someone activates the third device and the door locks (it unlocks again once it's dead). It could potentially break the game though.

As Dann said, the locking of the elemental's door is not a bug, but an intended feature.

Er... there are only three levers; I don't see how you could do that without some console cheating.

Travel back in your mind's eye to where you entered the center room with the mad hag. Let's say you entered the room facing east. Another door opened to the south. Going through there, you should encounter some elementals, pick up a golem part and maybe some more trash, and continue on. There is a passage going north to a sealed door; but the door you want is not that one, it is farther to the east, up a few steps I think. Just use the right-hand rule and you should get to it quickly.
