Invincible Alduin glitch. Is there a fix?

[SleepinGriffin]

Got to Alduin's bane and I've reloaded like 15 times and have no idea what is causing him to stay invincible. I have a save before opening the elder scroll and an auto as the screen fades to white.

Are you playing with any mods or playing with out any mods because mods might be causing alduin to be invinicible.

Sounds like a scenelet isn't playing. My memory is too faulty to even remember too much of the MQ, but it sounds like the part at the top of the Mountain with Parthenaux. Maybe allow Alduin some time to go through the dialogue and back and forth with Parthy and maybe stay out of it and take it slow.

Thats just a guess. But in my experience the player and their experience is secondary to the actors doing their lines and reaching their places on the stage. If you go Gung ho on them and they miss their line or miss their stage mark, things go bad.

Are you using Dragonrend? He is invulnerable unless you use it.

I did this. I let him almost kill me before I started on him and still didn't work.

I am playing with mods. The only mod that affects alduin is one that makes him harder but it doesn't make him invincible, it's also something that has persisted from the release of the game.

Old bug. Target Alduin through console Disable him and then immediately enable him again.

Alduin is set untouchable due to scene before, but effect does not always get cleared. Disable/enable removes the effect..

Thanks, this worked.

It's an odd one. The bug was supposed to be fixed in official patch, back in 2013. It still returns to haunt games sometimes.
