Skyrim talk:Glory of the Dead

Tip

Activate the statue at the beginning to take back the wuuthrad weapon. — Unsigned comment by 50.42.132.79 (talk) at 15:52 on 18 November 2011

It's already on the article, or at least it's mentioned that you can reclaim it. --Krusty 16:24, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Witch's Heads quest items

Not sure if this is a glitch or intended behavior, but when I did this quest last night I had cleared out the Glenmoril Coven, so I had 5 witch heads in my inventory, all quest items. After completing the quest they weren't quest items anymore, so I could remove them from my inventory, which I did. However, I decided to move them to another container where I store only important items for later, and as soon as I picked them up, they became quest items again and couldn't be removed. --Quillan^Talk 16:27, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Bug

In my game there was a bug where Eorlund somehow ends up outside city walls and the questline gets stuck in "attend Kodlak's funeral". Use the console to teleport him back to skyforge. GVBN 12:02, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

What is the console command that should be used? — Unsigned comment by 98.204.192.15 (talk) at 07:42 on 27 November 2011

"Kodak Whitman"

It spells it this way in the ps3 version, too. Looks like they forgot to turn spellcheck off. Is that a bug? — Unsigned comment by 2.123.201.200 (talk) at 07:59 on 9 December 2011

Another Bug

After Kodlak's funeral, I went to meet the circle but no one was talking to me. the only option was talking to Farkas for a job. I clicked on that and the game crashed. So I got back from the last auto-save, but still no one was talking, although they should have been speaking about Kodlak's death. So I simply used the console and typed player.setstage C06 30 and the quest went on, with a dialogue finally happening between the members of the circle. Eorlund arrived with the axe, and since then everything was ok. I do not usually write on wiki, but I think this could be of some help to those who got stuck in the same situation.— Unsigned comment by 46.127.115.225 (talk) at 01:35 on 10 December 2011

Bug on Trip to the Tomb

If you attempt to follow the Circle to tomb, you'll reach a point just after you run through Dawnstar where they just simply travel back and forth up and down a mountain. I tried using Clairvoyance, but it gives the same path for you to take. It also leads you up and back down the mountain with no path leading away. Very strange. Oddboyout 13:25, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I've just discovered the same funny thing when I try to follow them. It turns out that they cycle back and forward. Formally speaking, Bethesda didn' make a good job concernig pathfinding of NPC's. I always have problems with followers and thralls in these icy waters and now I see that this is not an accident. The NPC simply don't see a valid path through many things.--31.128.147.18 21:19, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Possible bug.

I am writing on here before I add it to the page to see if it should be added, if it's a known bug, one off, etc... Anyways, I was attending his funeral, and when Aela went to light his body, she froze and wouldn't light it, I walked away, came back and she was still bugged out. I had to resort in hitting her until she came to and finally she lit it. Is this worth noting at all? JackTurbo95 17:57, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Circle members Aela, Vilkas and Farkas bug/glitch after Glory of the Dead quest (PC)

After curing Kodlak's spirit by defeating his wolf spirit, Aela, Vilkas and Farkas say that they'll return to Jorvaskr later, but when I fast travelled to Whiterun and went to Jorvaskr, they weren't there. I slept for 6 hours then waited for 24 hours more, but they still weren't there. I tried to find their location by turning on my quest marker "Talk to the Companion leaders for work", but no quest markers appear. Has anyone encountered and fixed this? If so, how? — Unsigned comment by 115.64.67.17 (talk) at 20:57 on 28 December 2011

This happened to me recently as well; I think it might have something to do with the fact that I killed Kodlak's wolf spirit so quickly,that the quest updated strangely (it was dead before I was told to kill it on screen). The quest is completed, but the shape next to "Kill the wolf spirit" is unfilled, despite there being a filled shape on the "Speak to Kodlak" objective above it.--Lovless510 00:04, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

It happened to me when I cleansed myself. I killed Kodlak's wolf spirit and Aela talked to me then started walking around the room like she is supposed to. After I used the Flame of the Harbinger again and defeated my spirit wolf together with Aela and my follower, Aela vanished into thin air. Neither she nor Vilkas or Farkas showed up again and the 'Talk to the companions leaders for work' quest has no markers anymore. --84.175.166.209 16:36, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

It Happened to me too. After waiting and nothing happening I went back to Ysgramor's Tomb and I saw them running to leave to Jorrvaskr. I fast traveled there and there they were.Pizza_Boy 18:11, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Got that bug for every game replay, but this time waiting didn't help at all (nor near tomb, nor in the other places). So I returned to the tomb, checked all "You are the new harbringer, YAY!"-lines of dialogues and took Farkas as follower to fast-travel into Whiterun. When follower was released in a town he tried to run back to the tomb (lol, he's really an icebrain). So I escorted him inside meadhall and released again. This time he ran to the basement, so I decided that's ok and waited for 1 hour. Markers appeared showing him in the basement and Vilkas & Aela somewhere between Winterhold and Windhelm. Hope that will help others. Sorry for my english, i'm not a native speaker. [Rattebfanger] — Unsigned comment by 178.64.38.179 (talk) at 14:30 on 18 February 2012

Just to note, I don't believe this bug is necessarily related to how fast you kill Kodlak's wolf spirit. I also killed the spirit so quickly that the Objective marker telling you to do so has not greyed out, however the Companions have all returned to Jorrvaskr and are giving quests as normal. Threepwood87 22:16, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

I found a dragon priest dagger in the tomb. Does anyone know if that is random or static?

If that is not random, it is definitely an artifect to be picked and should include it in notes of this page. --Joshua.yathin.yu 09:07, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

I also found one here.71.224.13.163 17:21, 13 January 2012 (UTC)Marcus

Bug while meeting the circle

After attending the funeral, I went to the underforge. While the NPC's were talking, I accidently left the underforge, and now I can't trigger the dialogue again and the quest still says "meet the circle". I've tried using the console, but the "meet the circle" never gets checked, though the next stage has appeared. I've tried to reset the quest and set the quest to further stages. I ended up without the quest at all, and it is not in the completed list. So...am I stuck in this? Can't I "remove" my werewolf status? (Loading a previous save file isn't an option) — Unsigned comment by 85.246.104.142 (talk) on January 15, 2012 05:50

i have found a solution to this problem ...pull out your weapon of choice and proceed to beat one of the circle members repeatedly, since they cannot die this wont be a problem. the dialogue somehow continues afterwords and the quest will be completed just be ready for the repeated onslaught of the member you choose to beat up. — Unsigned comment by 67.235.14.165 (talk) at 18:09 on 19 February 2012

(←) Another question: I have the PS3 version.

I was able to beat up someone to get the Jarl to walk away to continue the Main Quest line. But, Eorlund Gray-Mane who is suppose to take the Witch's head, the Fragments and to start the next quest doesn't come up to me. He's just working on smithing. When i talk to him he just has the dialog as before, but doesn't take the items away. I don't have a back save so how can I fix this? 66.104.157.98 04:02, 13 March 2012 (UTC)Katsumi

Companion Radiant Quest Bug following Completion

Before beginning this quest, I had the Companion Radiant Quest "Kill Silverhand Leuitenant at <location>" (in my case, Tevra's Watch). Following the completion of the Glory of the Dead quest, I was unable to interact with the quest giver regarding this quest (in my case, Aela). The quest tracking waypoint also disappeared from the map.

I reloaded a previous save, my earliest being after I had accepted the Glory of the Dead quest but before completion, and went and completed the Radiant Quest. The quest updated to "Report to <quest giver>" who was of course in the Tomb with the other Circle Members...but they were stuck in the "For Kodlak" voice mode. The quest tracker still followed them, and once again upon Glory of the Dead quest completion there was no quest turn dialogue option and the Radiant Quest tracking waypoint was disabled.

Any suggestions? 109.235.42.234 17:47, 2 February 2012 (UTC)Brandark

The Companions questline is plagued by a number of bugs, most of which will supposedly be fixed by the 1.4 patch. I would suggest waiting for this to come out before trying the Companions questline. Sorry i can't help more. RIM 19:27, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Game Crash

After curing Kodlak, and after he finishes talking to you, there will still be a "Talk Kodlak Whitemane" text. Activating it crashed my xbox, just so people know. — Unsigned comment by 2.219.208.75 (talk) at 20:38 on 11 February 2012

Bug. System freezes.

When Aela the Huntress lights the funeral fire, the game freezes (PS3). I have to turn my system off and start over. I haven't figured out a way around it yet. Once they start the funeral dialog, even if I leave the area, the game eventually freezes (which I assume occurs when Aela lights the fire). — Unsigned comment by 68.17.172.49 (talk) at 19:41 on 10 March 2012

Fire Lighting Crash

This has been marked as a question that needs to be answered.

Hey guys, I've been having some of the same problems. Everything with the companions has worked fine up to the funeral. I go and once the companions finish their parts of the prayer thing Aela goes to light the fire. I hear one smack of the anvil and the game crashes...

Is there any way to fix this or get around it? Someone please help me out ASAP!

Thanks — Unsigned comment by 67.233.11.188 (talk) at 03:02 on 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Workaround  : delta

The game crash can be worked around in PC version.

When the Ceremony is done and Aela moves to light the fire. bring up te console before the puts the torch in and use a coc command - or just type in "coc whiterundragonsreach" (without the inverted commas), which transports you to inside Dragonsreach. Once you are inside, exit through the main door to Whiterun and head back to the Skyforge. Kodlak's pyre will remain unburnt, but the quest will automatically progress to the next stage, where Eorlund asks you to retrieve the last fragment of Wuuthrad.

Dropped Glenmoril Witch Heads (Help!)

After the Quest Blood's Honor, I got 4 Witch heads, but after I saw Kodlak dead, I thought that I would no longer need them, so i gave it to the dead Silver Hand dude. Now, I don't know what to do, I am at the part where Kodlak wants me to burn the witch head but I dont know what to do. Can I use console commands to add a witch head? I am on a PC. Please Help ME!! 174.114.208.181`

I guess you should be able to add one with the console, yeah. Skyrim:Glenmoril_Witch_Head#Glenmoril_Witch_Head player.additem 0002996f 1 should do the trick...hopefully. eshe^talk 17:41, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

To activate the flame of harbringer......

First, I don't know where do I have to write this section, so I'm writing in here. Please inform me, where to put, if I just choose wrong section. Actually, after i finshed the Glory of the dead, then I look the quest page, and thought that after I complete finding all 3 totems then I'll just make myself purified. So, I finished those quest and I tried to activate the flame of harbringer, It doestn't work.. Even I have the head. Please somebody help me. — Unsigned comment by 112.198.207.216 (talk) at 15:44 on 24 May 2012

Glory of the dead quest not activating

To finish the purity of revenge quest the last instruction is return to jorvaskar. I fast travel to Whiterun with Vilkas and he says to me " the others have probably prepared kodlak's funeral by now. Come up to the skyforge to pay your respects". I then get a notification saying the quest is completed but nothing else happens. If i follow vilkas he just walks back to jorvaskar, and there is no one but eorland at the skyforge. All the companion leaders revert back to their normal dialogue and offer me the standard companion side quests, kodlak's body is nowhere to be found and everyone acts as though nothing happened. I still have the witch head and the fragments of wuuthrad in my inventory. Playing on ps3, updated with latest patch. Can anyone help me out here? — Unsigned comment by 27.33.4.59 (talk) at 12:52 on 19 June 2012

I am having the exact same problem on Skyrimon PC, I thought it could be because I didn´t fast travel to whiterun but to dragonsreach (I am lazy so I use whirlwind sprint from up there to quickly go to the skyforge, at the moment I didn´t saw anything unusual but I never received a glory of the dead start message. Can anyone help here? — Unsigned comment by 79.168.3.4 (talk) at 02:28 on 24 March 2013

Same problem. I always hop over the rocks to the Companions from Dragonsreach. I fast traveled there, Purity of Revenge ends, no new quest. I keep getting the misc. quest to ask members of the companions for work. — Unsigned comment by 70.176.51.219 (talk) at 17:57 on 7 April 2013‎

I don't think it's because of fast-traveling to Dragonsreach. That's normally what I do too and I never ran into this bug. --Morrolan (talk) 20:23, 11 April 2013 (GMT)

Lycantrophy not removed after burning witch head

Right after killing Kodlak's spirit, I decided to cure my lycantrophy, so I threw the witch's head to the fire and my spirit came out and so I killed, everything normal. I losed my ability to become a werewolf. Yet when I look at the stats, the are still counting the days as if I was a werewolf even when I can't make myself one. This is not a problem that needs solution, but I found it rather odd. Does someone has an explanation for why this is happening? — Unsigned comment by EDGARHOUSE (talk • contribs) at 05:38 on 26 July 2012

That's a well-known bug with the lycanthropy cure. If you still get the bonuses for resting then I wouldn't worry about it though. --Morrolan (talk) 20:30, 11 April 2013 (GMT)

Ghosts of the Companions error

The following line appears in the Ghosts of the Companions section: "Upon the left side of the staircase upon entering there is a small table with a Dragon Priest Dagger and a couple urns with gold." It seems the appearance of the dagger may be level dependent, or based on some other factor. I remember this being there on my other characters, and that I was higher level when I did this quest with them (>40). I'm taking my lvl 30 through now and it's an Ancient Nord Sword, not a dagger of any kind. Perhaps this should be changed to say "a leveled weapon" or something similar? Also, there are three urns and the article says "a couple" (two). Lastly, and just to be clear, the note implies all items are on the left table. The weapon is on the left table, but the urns are on the right table. This note needs some improvement. --72.88.199.175 14:45, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

After I was done killing Kodlak's wolf, it says t speak with Kodlak. It won't let me. I need help. Could it have something t do with the fact that I used my wolf t defeat his?? Tiffanie — Unsigned comment by 68.102.243.154 (talk) at 08:46 on 20 January 2013

No, that's not it. I've done that a few times myself. Is Kodlak just not appearing, or is something going wrong when you try to activate him? --Morrolan (talk) 03:09, 2 April 2013 (GMT)

Bug?

I have the Playstation 3 version I'm trying to complete the Companions quest go going to the Skyforge to watch Kodlak's funeral and everytime i do the game freezes right when Aela puts the torch to the forge. I think it is the Glory of the dead quest? But They start the funeral at the point she goes to lay the torch down or start the fire game will freeze.Now I uninstalled everything and kept my only save file. Restarted my game re installed my game and the 1.8 update patch. It still does this freezes, but if I leave before she does the fire as in fast travel game plays fine I can go back to white run wonder around as long I stay at the bottom part of it . If I go toward the stairs Heading into the area the game will freeze or If I get arrested it will freeze. Say i pay my bounty soon the screen loads I'm back in white run it freezes. Is there any way to fix this or any time it will be fixed. I played game before on my old ps3 before the hard drive went bad it played just fine. Please let me know what is going to be done about this. Thank you.— Unsigned comment by ShawnHaynes (talk • contribs) at 12:32 on 20 February 2013‎
