It is possible to kill Durnehviir when he appears a second time before he gets a chance to speak. The quest will then never initiate.

You can reset the quest and then set stage it to 30.


Or you could always reload a previous save.

Thanks...but sorry, what is "set stage it to 30" ? :)

All it is you seem to appear to kill him in order to allow him to let Valerica go from the perils of the boneyard in the soul cairn. Now its up to you to call him once into Tamriel (Skyrim) so he can feel re-vibrated and alive again even for a short time... There, he will teach you the other words you need to know.

A console command.

http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Console

Use the console with cauntion. It can break your game if used improperly.

I write to the console "resetquest 30" and its dont run...
"compiled script no saved"

[voehringer_nitron]

You need to use the syntax from the command list in the second link, and the quest ID from the first. But again, your best bet is to just reload.

Choices have consquences... You now have the choice of either cheating with the console, starting over, or living with an uncompleted quest. Be aware that this choice has consequences as well!

I do this with console but i dont know HOW!! :D But thanks guys for help and be strong!

Why are you killing him in the first place. When you need help you can call on him and he will fight with you. Then he returns to the soul cairn. Each time you call him he teaches you another word of the Soul tear shout, their is no need to kill him.

[Hall]

Now i have another problem. I summoned him with the command in console and i learn first word but now i cant summoned him for second word. What can i do please? I wrote commands to the console and i had every 3 word but achivement wasnt complete. I think that need summoned him and he teach me second word but I write commands to the console and nothing happening. Can you help me with this problem?

[Mr_F0NG]

Could anyone lay out the command steps to reset the quest to the stage where you fight him the first time. I've used the console to fix a few quest bugs but I'm having a very hard time getting this one to the point I need it.

Basically I never learned the summon Durnehviir shout so I can't get the soul tear achievement.

[Mr_F0NG]

So I finally was able to get this.

My problem: Never learned the summon Durnehviir shout. I killed him once, and ran the second time out of the soul cairn. You need this shout to start learning each part of soul tear.

Solution A:

1. Location: go to boneyard
2. Open Console
3. Type: resetquest dlc1vqdragon
4. Then type: setstage dlc1vqdragon 30
5. Close console

At this point Durnehviir comes down and teaches you the shout and three words to summon him. Spend three dragon souls to unlock the full shout.

While in soul cairn, use the summon Durnehviir. Aim at the ground near you. He will teach you one word of soul tear. Wait for the summon shout to come off cool down and call him down again. Repeat a 3rd time. After the 3rd word the achievement should pop.

Solution B:

1. Location: anywhere in tamriel(skyrim map)
2. Get Auriel's Bow and fire a fully charged blood dipped arrow at the sun(Doing this is also an achievement).
3. Open Console
4. Type: resetquest dlc1vqdragon
5. Then type: setstage dlc1vqdragon 30
6. Close console

you need to do step 2 in order for Durnehviir to be summoned outside of the soul cairn. If you don't, he will not show up.

Hopefully this helps others with less frustration.

Yes. Thank you!

guys, after few hours of try/error, i could find an acceptable solution !
[SPOIL: Yes, You have to use the console, but you won't "cheat" by aquiring the skills / complete quest /etc)]

So first of all, a bit of explanation:

When you kill Durnehviir, his body dissapear.
Why? because he is supposed to be a "Soul" (as you are in the "Soul Cairn"...), so he already lost his body.
So you cannot use the command "resurrect" as you need to "target" a body in order to use that command.

But, when you open the console and click on anything (like a rock, or wall, etc), in the top center of the console, it show someting like: ' ' (00000000).
This means that you can "select" / "target" anything that is not in front of your character, but typing the info, with this particular format: ' ' (00000000)

With that said, we find the the RefID of Durnehviir on UESP -> xx007A31
Where "XX" is the quantity of DLC that you have installed (DragonBorn installed -> XX = 02)
So for me it will be 02007A31

So if we follow the logic of that body / soul thing of durnehvvir, Bethesda, may have made the NPC dissapeard when it's killed.
So, lets find a command that make a NPC dissapear ... -> disable
And is there any command to make a NPC appear? ... -> enable
So lets try to "enable" (make the NPC appear):

enable ' ' (02007A31)

...

WOW ! the body (corpse) of durnehviir appeared next to the area where i do killed it
(If for some myterious reason, you do not see the dead body, you can type : player.moveto 02007A31)

So now i can open the console, click on the body, (target) it and type:

resurrect 1 (where 1 means restore previous state: inventory, etc) and hit enter

he is alive again and i can continue the quest that i have missed

good luck guys
