In the bug of Kaliah walking off instead of opening the gate, this is happening on the PS3. How do we fix it? I tried reloading to a previous time and turning off the system and starting it back up again. Nothing is working.

I had the same problem with her, I fixed it by using a spell called entomb from a mod I have, the spell traps any npc underground until you use the spell again, I used it on brynjolf so that karliah could open the gate and get to the circle unobstructed, I hope this helps. The mod that has the spell is "Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim"
I don't really know what I did right but I took a video about it, hope it helps someone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSrmqYH-Vyw
I’m I was having the same issue, the only thing that helped me because I tried everyone else’s ideas, was to use the cheat spell options that you get when you download the cheat room mod. I used the push back 280 mode and it forced Karelian out of the room and put her back to the starting door. And then she walked up to the gate like normal. I had to abandon this quest line before because of this . Now I know what to do and I hope this helps
Very late but I found out how to fix it EVEN IF YOU DONT HAVE A PRIOR SAVE. Keep bumping into her until she turns around. From here she won’t keep going she’ll only take a few steps until she turns around again. But what you have to do it as soon as she takes a step in the right direction, wait an hour. Keep doing this until after a couple try’s she will turn around and spawn at the gate. If you left awhile ago and she’s long gone and you’ve abandoned it there are some videos showing where she walks so you can follow the path in hopes of bumping into her then do this method. Hope this helps.
I Used Frost breath and froze Brynjof. It worked. Do it right as Karliah turns to go to the gate.
Blacbeardedguy's advice actually worked for me on Xbox Series X. Going to try to remember tip from now on ☺
Very late, but hope this can still be helpful to some. Engage Karliah in combat. After a few swings she will start fighting back. Try to engage her in melee or she will try to use a bow from long range. Have her follow you back to the chain. Then kill her (she cannot die permanently). Before she has time to get back up, run back out to Skyrim. When you return, the gate should be opened (at least it was for me).
Get a scroll or spell of paralysis and have it ready to cast. Keep your distance from Brynjolf and Karliah while they are discussing the terms of Nocturnal's contract--make her walk forward to you. Agree to the terms and then hit Brynjolf with the spell before Karliah walks back. Don't worry if Karliah walks into the paralyzed body, it won't activate the bug.
I had the same bug, i guess console is the only way.
I found a way that worked for me. When she's talking to Brynjolf about the terms of agreement, stand at the stairs. when she comes to ask you if you will accept, keep moving back slightly so she's forced to come up the stairs. Then accept and she should open the gate.
What do you think?
