Dogmeat gone?

[Aoterr]

I was going down to the Vault 111, and before doing it I told Dogmeat to STAY while we traveled down to the vault and he just disappeared, help?

[ChemicalBacon]

You mean he was gone when you came back up?

Several things may happen. Often when you tell a companion to "stay" and then enter a new cell, like vault 111 they will teleport with you. So, he might be inside the vault. He may also return home, Red Rocket. He may also still be outside the vault waiting on you.

Go sit in a chair, there is one in the trailer and wait for an hour and see if he respawns.

if you have the vaulttec DLC you can use the Overseer terminal to tag him as a VIP.
you then get a marker where he is.
pretty much the only good thing in that dlc

Where would he be in the vault? I don't see him anywhere

Usually when people can't find him he is in one of the three doghouses in Sanctuary. Have fun finding all three!

Is losing a poop machine really a loss? Seems like more of a gain to me.

If he gets "lost" when you tell him to wait and then enter a new cell he'll usually spawn where you do. If he's not there then he's not there. If you've assigned him to Sanctuary then he might be in the dog houses there.

If you have access to console commands you can bring him to you from wherever he may be.

Lost him once and he returned to the last settlement that I had previously dismissed him to. In that case he went back to the airport.

Yes. That was my experience too. Although it can take a few days for him to show up. But I've seen others state that they've dismissed him at Fort Hagen and had him remain there. This is proabably a glitch with that quest.

2 options.


1) go to sanctuary and put the only dog house and a Clear view, he might Respawn.

2)there is a console command that let you move the player to a Specific person. i lost Preston one time and used it, ended up forgetting that I actually sent him near the fort for an Assault

Or..... take Codsworth as a companion, then dogmeat will go home or where you send him.

I have had this problem with dogmeat myself. I will be in Diamond city or any other regular nonviolent place and he will disappear, to reappear randomly10 or 20 hours later. Since I don't like running with a companion, I don't really mind that much.

This is a good option. If dogmeat is still assigned as companion and the player doesn't have any companion mods which allow multiple companions this just may do it.

All good, I found him behind a ruined house lol, thanks guys
