Use dragonrend on Alduin to force him to land.

This is before I get that shout. This is while i'm learning dragonrend, I am looking back in time and can't attack him.

You don't supposed to attack him learn the word and look how the battle unfolds. After you are back in the present you can do with alduin whatever you want...

This quest is sometimes bugged. There are recent threads on this subject on how to solve it. Just search using Alduin as keyword. Reloading an older save tends to work.
This Quest is one of the quests out there that easily bugged...to solve this problem, here are few ways:

1. Reload "last save" that means not the cloest one, at least 2-3 saves ago. If you don't have it. Well, that means you have to redo and start learning save alot and set auto save to 10 or 15 mins.

2. Quit the game and relaunch it

3. Some mods also conflict alduin. So make sure theres' no mods deal with dragon or alduin himself before you do this mission. (like reskin or something like that i guess)

4. Your PC sucks, get a new one.

Try that way: When you're in the past (after read the ES), open the console and type " enableplayercontrols "... So walk arround the place like "calling alduin's attention"...
Well, work for me! Good luck! :hdwink:

Nothing worked except this - Thanks Miraak! I thought the game was broken for sure! (Also got a little gold out of it, LOL)

I know this thread is old but it is still a bug and this still comes up in a search for the solution. I can confirm it works! I can also confirm about the money ha ha. The slain dragons all had like 300-400 gold in them.

I've had the bug twice and both times I had left the room and just let the (long) cut scene play since I had seen it before. Maybe if you're not looking around with the mouse then you fail to trigger an event.

I'm sure you're being a meme right now, but still, there are people who are legitimately stupid enough to believe game glitches and bugs are caused by hardware.

Little friendly advice here, if you are going to go out of you way to insult someone, don't choose someone who last posted over five years ago..... They simply won't give a damn.
