[edit] Humpty-Dumpty

Thank you very much for this code. I was getting so frustrated trying to find him, the green arrow would show outside of Skingrad, but he wouldn't be there when I looked. I now know why... he jumped to his death.

Google + UESP = WIN!!!

Yes, I will add my thanks here also. I had no idea what was going on. Hahaha! fell to his death! Maybe he prefered a jump to his death than a meeting with Grishnakh-Skullcrusher!!!!

[edit] XBOX360 User's worriness

As I play the XBOX version of the game, I can't use that kind of console commands, so there's no way to find a solution. There are hundreds and hundreds of post in several forums discussing a solution for Shum Gro-Yarug's death, thing that happens sooner or later because of him falling off the gate or starting a fight at the hotel.

I'm wondering what to do to get these missions on with.

To be honest the problem of Shum jumping to his death seems grossly overstated. I've played several characters and in every game he's still alive, long after I've bought the house and don't need him any more. If you're really worried though, you need 15 fame and 25,000 gold. If you do the first few Arena matches and a few Fighters Guild quests you'll soon get the fame. As for the cash... you'll have to work for it. Just stay out of Skingrad and he won't die. Make sure you've got a charm spell to make sure you can get him to 70 disposition when you finally go for the house and you'll have no problem. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 14:51, 12 January 2008 (EST)

Same here, I have a 360 too. I have had the quest for a long time but I only waited until recently, I've been waiting to get to a very advanced point in the game to set up and decorate my house. I've been too fastidious, I've been waiting for a point where I could buy AND properly decorate the house all at once.

I permanently keep a save every 8 to 10 hours of the game so I have a chronologically recorded account of my game. I finally decided it was time to buy the house, I followed the compass...to find an empty void where Shum gro-Yarug should be. "Oh well," I thought "I can just load a save, I'm willing to go a few, or many hours back if need be." One god damn save after the other of my recent saves (saves from the last 10 hours of play) led me back to the same empty void. Checking my 8 to 10 hour saves... one after the other...led me back 50 HOURS OMGWTFBBQ WHAT IS WITH THAT? Somewhere between 43 and 50 hours ago the mo'fo' killed his stupid self. I felt like chewing my arm off, I got pretty upset, so upset I stopped playing for a few days when I found out there was nothing I could do to get my house back without spending 50 hours retracing my steps.

What's strange is his body, or the space it used to occupy, is some distance from the bridge, at least 20 m (65 ft) from the bridge. I had to RUN to make that distance when I jumped of the bridge and it's not steep enough for his corpse to roll down the path. Further more, when I loaded a previous save to follow him around, sometimes when I used the "wait' function to wait until 11am to see where he goes after he leaves the castle, sometimes when I waited a bit past 11am I found him walking along the path underneath the bridge but he was on full health indicating he didn't take any damage when he fell, if he did indeed fall, off the bridge. Has anyone ever seen him fall off the bridge? The distance is large enough for it to happen but that doesn't mean it did. It's possible the guard patrolling that path killed him. I've seen them kill NPCs before, it's a bit of a problem, but I've always noticed them being attacked to stop it.

More to the point is there anyway I can at least get access to MY house? Any other way to buy the house? Get a key? I tried pickpocketing Vandorallen Trebatius but he had no key for some reason. Some help would be greatly appreciated.58.175.80.221 07:23, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
