So Mutt died.

[Signal 40]

Yeah. Now his corpse is just laying in Prib for eternity. Is there a way to resurrect him? Honestly he was mostly useless anyway and I ended up hitting him when he wandered aimlessly in fights and made him run off.

[deserthamster]

he should get to life on his own so you can kill him again

[Jaunitta 🌸]

?? I hope he goes back to Mia you dont deserve him.

My mutt gets killed so many times runs off many times even when I accidently shoot him with an arrow but 7 or so minutes minutes later you'll hear his excited far away getting closer barking, like he's saying Master I'm coming back and you will praise me and feed me . My mutt is excellent my best friend and he doesn't need to be asked to bring back a hunting kill he just lays down his life for Henry over and over.
I'm sorry but the thought of you punching him ...so you remind me that he just a character in the game.
If you dont want his help in fight get him to Stay and just leave him behind.
Edited.
Send him back to the Mill :)

No, I mean, He's like, dead dead, not run away. Think he got swarmed by the Pribyshiz guys when we attacked it.

[Noeat]

nice try.. he cant die..
if u dont use some mod for that..
and btw: why u dont train him? ur the one who can a who give him orders what to do.. if u give him bad orders, then he will be useless..

[Signal 40]

Ok... I'll Screenshot his dead corpse(which I looted because I loot EVERYTHING....), also I don't have any mods installed unless you count the DLC. It's strange cause he shows up as alive in the Companion screen.

[Jaunitta 🌸]

You looted his dead body for dog meat and dog fat? How is that even possible?
When Mutt gets hurt he runs away to return some time later.
You say his body is there and you looted it?
Maybe you broke the game by just doing something the game cant recover from?
Go back a couple of saves before you punched him maybe the only way back.
Edited
go back a save to before you looted him he should recover. Leave the scene and go back to the mill. Sleep a night ..The Mill is where he will return to Theresa when your companionship roll is in trouble.
It happened to me once when I spent 9 days in jail he returned to the Mill.
But as I have now trained him and got all the skills- perks - Buffs, any time I do long stints in jail he's waiting for me when I get out happy to see me too.
Didn't even starve to death.
The inventory screen just depicts you have the dog and the horse so you haven't fully lost him yet.

Honestly, I didn't even know he died, I heard him do the yowl and yip thing during the fight and the 0 obedience notification. I went back to do the restoration DLC about 6 hours later(cause I didn't know that was a thing, this is my first time playing the game) and his corpse was laying near where the rathaus was built. It still has the dog symbol on the minimap and compass too. I dunno. But I've put too much time into the game before noticing it to go back at this point. That's why I was asking about the resurrect thing. I remember in FO4 you could res an NPC if you had their ID or selected them while in console. He wasn't much help and the game was bollocks at explaining how to actually use him.

Hi,
are you playing ‎ from the ashes rebuild Pribyslavitz . Ok now I'm with you.
Putting dots together you lost Mutt at the Baptism of Fire?
He didn't follow me into this battle at all?
So something went wrong there?
Mutt shouldn't have followed you in there.
So then you activated Pribyslavitz DLC? after killing Runt? and Mutt was dead?
There's something wrong there.
Edited:
Have you tried verifying game files?
So you cant go back to the Mill until you have completed the From the Ashes DLC.
All I can think of is wait till you've done Pribyslavitz.
You are returned to the Mill and then I believe Mutt will be restored.

Mutt can't be killed so maybe you have a small glitch where you see his body. lol dont loot his body is why this probably happened the game has no codes to deal with this until you leave the DLC
Hang in there :)

[Signal 40]

I've had a few glitches. I killed a bandit but then he just stood where he was acting like an impassive NPC. I even shot him with a bow many times but got no response. He seemed to be recognized as a corpse by the game though, because when I looked at my stats I had something like 49 arrows in corpses, even though I never shot anything but targets and hares before this guy(too hard to aim). As long as the dog isn't vital to the plot, I don't think it will be much of an issue though. Like in FO4, I don't like having companions as it's too hard to babysit crap AI.

[Jaunitta 🌸]

Yep I've seen that too lol like he's drunk. I pick them up and throw them down a cliff and they get again.
When this starts to happen save and exit let your system cool down for an hour.
The game can get weird.
Nerdy explanation, its like we get a bottle neck when our computer hardware cant catch up, the action codes and scripts gets lost little, then we have windows background tasks can mess with how the game performs.
Especially during some of the amazing battles we interact in where there is 1000's of bits information each calling this guard or this bandit to hit this and kill that a lot of game activity .
Edited.
You can give Mutt back to Theresa just send him back to the mill. That is when you finish the DLC.
Also
Do you know how to activate the cross hair for the bow. Don't equip the bow. press Tilt key ~
in the console CMD type wh_pl_showfirecursor 1 pres enter place space between r and 1
now equip the bow. You may have to enable the ~
cheers

Know this thread is old, but I've had him get stuck in the middle of nowhere.

The later let me restore him by sending him home, then talking to Theresa about taking him with again.

This may work with him dying too, as he should be flagged as having run of (since it shouldn't be possible for him to die).

So, if he dies, check back with Theresa.

[Jaunitta 🌸]

Yep, he should return to the Mill. as a part of the game Mutt can't die perminently afaik :)
the one time he was killed by the bandits I found him back at the Mill.
