*Modded* Alduin will not take damage during Dragonslayer quest

[bp67]

My game is overflowing with mods and it may be one of them that is causing the problem. I have reached the part where you shout the mists away and battle with Alduin with the Nord heroes(This is in the second battle with Alduin). I have used the Dragonrend shout and it takes a few shouts before he finally lands. After the first landing he seems to have about 10% health gone (although I believe that the Nord heroes are the ones that damaged him). After this point he will not take any damage even after landing a few times with everyone hitting him with their weapons repeatedly(this was done for about 45 minutes).

Things that I have tried so far:

-Restarting at a save as I entered the Hall of Valor where I found the Nord heroes (resulting in the same outcome)

-Setting Deadly Dragons(mod) to vanilla difficulty

-Disabled combat AI via console commands (This is how I discovered that I couldn't do damage to Alduin, and also I could do damage to my follower)

I have searched for the problem but I have only found solutions for the first battle with Alduin which seems to have a similar bug. If anyone has an answer or suggestion as to what I could do I would gladly try their solution.

I had the same issue fighting Alduin my first play through with just me and my companion I could bring him down with dragon rend but could never kill him no matter what I hit him with. And I went on like that for like 2 hours before saying screw it and reloading at last save and going to find something else to kill. And that was with no mods at all.

Did you ever find a fix?

[firedog441]

nope infact I have started the game over but have not gone back to that part again since then. Oh and if you think Alduin is bad there is a mod called Megladon dragon ummm yea hes like Alduin in nightmare mode x10 have not been able to make a dent in him either.

At first I thought he just had a lot of health because I modded my game to be very difficult and I played with the Deadly Dragon mod on insane. It would take about an hour to kill regular dragons. But even after I disabled that mod it still does not damage him.

[firedog441]

Hmmm I dont know maybe there is something in game play we are both not catching on to. but like I said I have not been back there since so not sure.

[bp67]

I may try a save that is before the point I was at. Other than that I am out of ideas.

[firedog441]

yea Im waiting to see if anyone else posts any idea because im kinda curious too.

I fought Alduin with Deadly Dragons and Dragon Combat Ovehaul installed, so I doubt this problem is persistent.

Sometimes scripted dragon get stuck with what ever effect protected them prior of battle. You can try the following.
- Engage the battle
- Open console (halts the screen)
- Target Alduin trough it
- disable [ENTER] -> make sure Alduin disappears from the screen.
- enable [ENTER] -> make sure he comes back.
- Close console and beat the pesky dragon.

This is the same trick that was used to level followers (back in the day...) and clean up effects from Alduin and others dragons for combat. It merely resets characters, so any effects they had on should now be gone.

Still better than having 50 dragons camping in the mist. i dont ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ know why i have them.

Alduin is invulnerable unless he's surrounded by the blue light caused by Dragonrend.

Real dragons or spectral dragons? Dragon mods will allow Alduin call latter ones.

Just for fun: I think Gopher's MQ Finale is quite iconic SkyRe\DD\DCO combat. I have the same combination and my own battle with Alduin looked somewhat same, except that I spent a long time dying, before getting the upper hand. :p

Real Dragons, spawned from the leveled list.
Also, my Alduin can onehit everything on the lowest difficulty and got too much hp xd
but this is because i love getting killed over and over and over again. and like to press F5 and F9. and like loading crashes.
