Miraak stuck

[Mendozacheers]

20% HP or so, tries to devour a dragon and heal himself, stuck in the middle untouchable. Tried:
Reload
console; resethealth and resurrect 1

I have unofficial skyrim patch

The battle with Miraak is scripted. When Miraak drops below 20% health, he will become ethereal and head to the pool in the center of the platform. After killing a dragon and absorbing its soul, he will regain full health and continue the fight. This cycle must happen twice in order to complete the battle. However, if you deal enough damage in a single strike or spell to bring him below 10% health, he will kill a dragon, absorb its soul, but will be unable to regain full health. This will cause him to stay ethereal, making the fight impossible to complete.
PC Only This bug is fixed by version 2.0.7 of the Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.
Pc22.png Open the console, click on Miraak, and type resurrect 1 or ResetHealth. This should bring Miraak back to full health, causing him to drop the ethereal effect and continue the battle.
Reloading a save should fix this. You may want to make a save before fighting Miraak, as the last autosave checkpoint is before the dragon riding tutorial.
Becoming fully hidden may fix this. There is a stack of books that sneaking behind should suffice.
If none of the above options work, Dragonrend Sahrotaar only. Once he lands, kill him. It may take a while, but he won't attack you. After you kill him, Miraak should almost immediately absorb Sahrotaar's soul, and the fight can continue.

None of the above works. pls hlep

knowing that it*s just one blow from finishing this game is unpleasant

Have you tried a less powerful weapon? Maybe you are taking his health down too low before he regenerates.

I just used setstage to finish the quest and some teleportation command to get back to solstheim. Sucks to do it, but seemed like the only way.

Yea, at least it is the last quest in that questline.

Actually now the music is stuck in "combat mode" so all I hear is the male choir 24/7, annoying as ♥♥♥♥ because it covers NPC dialogs etc. sigh... ah well, only a few more achievements and then I can play the SE.

You must not take him below 20% life because he only heals 80% with a dragon soul and only stops being ethereal once he is at 100% again.

I found a way. As soon as Miraak is done talking and the fight starts, kill Sahrotaar. Than hit Miraak to the point where he teleports to feed on a dragon. Get as far away from the dragon (Kruziikrel) as you can so Miraak gets the dragon soul. At that point Miraak will be stuck in his ethereal form. Use the full Bend Will Shout on the remaining dragon (Relonikiv). I know the bend will shout does not work on Kruziikrel but it does on Relonikiv). When Relonikiv lands try and make sure he's closer to Miraak than you are and kill him. Miraak should get the dragon soul and come back out of his ethereal form and which point you kan kill him.

I tried this first with no dot effects and low damage (upgraded archery to be back at lvl 15, Bound bow, no enchantments and a second time with my actual build, legendary daedric bow 643 base damage+81 fire damage +81 shock dame, daedric arrows 24 dmg, archery lvl100,+104% enchantment wise. And it worked fine with both low and high damage output.

You're welcome

Try this:

Turn off the Skyrim unofficial patch mod and restart the fight.

Seems ironic but it worked for me.

I had the same problem; i killed Sahrotaar first as above, then attacked Miraak until he called the first dragon, used bend will to force the second dragon to land and killed it. Then continued to kill Miraak with a standard long bow and steel arrows.
