Never ending battle with Alduin! Can't ever escape. Help requested!

[Jedinoviice]

I am pretty certain I have hit a bug. I am in battle with Alduin at the End of the World. I have been using 'dragonrend' and Alduin does NOT fall to the ground. He stays suspended in mid air no matter what I do!

However, I have managed to 'defeat' Alduin in that his health has dropped to zero. But that changes noting. I continue to be attacked, I can't talk to Parth who keep doing his flying thing forever. I am stuck in this never ending battle to no effect.

Please note that I am running the original Skyrim under Proton in Linux which increases the likelihood I have hit a bug. If I have t go to the console to get past this I'll handle it!

Many thanks.

OH, OK, I've found the answer myself.

I had to leave the fight scene, travel to whiterun, return tot he throat of the world where everything was correct and I could 'defeat' Alduin.'

Weird but sorted. Many thanks.

I cannot travel anywhere. Nor can I defeat Alduin. I can't reload before this. how do I escape this? I'm so mad I'm about to delete 10 years of gaming!!

Open your console and type

coc whiterun

Oh good grief! THANK YOU!!! I was so frustrated I couldn't escape that! Now, is there a way find where I left Lydia? I'm not tech savvy, but I do love this game.

That happens if you attack Alduin too early.

Do NOT attack Alduin on first sight, be patient, wait for the scene to play fully and the quest updates. THEN you can attack/shout him and the battle will run normally.

Open console, type
prid A2C94
moveto player

Or try to fast travel large distances (e.g. Riften->Markarth), she normally will be on your side. If that doesn't work, try to wait a week, if she was really stuck somewehre, she should return to Breezehome.

Or delve into modding and get a proper follower framework like NFF ;)
