This is a fastidiously worked out 'fix' that has taken me two solid days to figure out, and that is on how to 'start' the "Helping Hands" quest that is given ONLY by "Wujeeta", a special NPC located in Riften when she is DEAD. Without this questline completion, you CANNOT become Thane or buy the house "Honeyside".

 

Much to my dismay, when the time came to purchase Honeyside (I'm lvl 37), and do the Thane questline, I could not find "Wujeeta" anywhere. She had vanished into thin air. Well, as it turns out...BETHESDA...(so stupid dev team, way to go :wallbash: ), puts "Wujeeta" in harms way from the countless dragon attacks that occur in Riften in two locations (in front of the North gate and on the docks). So the chances are, if you cannot find "Wujeeta"...anywhere...likely she is dead, and if that is where you are, then that is what we need to find out...and fix it.

 

I started looking for her at my "SAVE Point 278"...I went back in my countless saves (that's why you need to "make copies" folks), and discovered that "Wujeeta" DIED at "SAVE Point 117" by a Blood Dragon attack, with me never knowing it...and there was no way I was going back all that way for a 'do over'.

 

First of all, in order for this "fix" to be successfull, you will need "on hand", BEFORE you do this, some information...so let's start there.

 

You will need:

A "Named NPC" or "Location" Reference ID #. Any will do. I have the special NPC horse "Frost", who has a unique base # and ref #, so I used him...Frost's Reference # for those who are in this position and have him is...00097E1F

 

Everything ingame has 'two' numbers, a "Base ID #", and a "Reference ID #"....we will be working with the "Reference ID #'s". If you do not know any Ref #'s to one of the above then go to "UESPwiki" and look one up. The reason for this "Named NPC or Location Ref #" is because if your "Wujeeta" is indeed taking a permanent dirt-nap, then by locating her, you will be "stuck in the house of the dead"...and will not be able to get back out! So pay attention!

 

Now...To find out if "Wujeeta" is dead or alive is next on the agenda, so bring up the "console" (use the "tittle key...~..." above the 'tab key"), and type into the console:

 

player.moveto 00019DDF

 

If you find yourself standing by "Wujeeta" in the real world...then she is still alive, and you should be able to get/continue the questline. However, if you find your player in a very strange "electric green and pink basement, with dead bodies dropping from the ceiling", then your "Wujeeta" is dead, and you are now located in the "house of the dead of Riften". This is where all the dead bodies go that despawn in that area. Creepy place. Anyway, if you are here, check out the "dogpile" of dead bodies before you..."Wujeeta" (a lizard) should be among them. Now you must move her away from the rest. I found that by 'unsheathing my weapon, being in first person mode, placing crosshairs over "Wujeeta" and holding down "E", I could drag her out of the pile. This way it will be easier to "target her" without the other bodies getting in the way.

 

Once you have her clear of the others...again bring up the console and Left click your mouse key to target her...what you want is the console to locate and recognize "Wujeeta's" Ref #, which will be displayed in the center of your screen. It can be difficult, but keep clicking all over her body...it will eventually come up. Once you have her Reference # displayed, (which should be 00019DDF), type in the console the command:

 

resurrect

 

(DO NOT USE the "player.placeatme <Base ID #>...this will 'clone Wujeeta' into the normal world, and she will NOT give you the questline completion)

 

Hit the enter key, then the "tittle" key to close out of the console. "Wujeeta" should stand right up, fully clothed...but, according to her dialogue, (whether you had the quest to begin with, I did not, makes no difference), the questline "helping Hands" has finished (again according to her). If this happens, then we need to "force" the questline to start and end, or just end, depending on where you were, so the Jarl meeting (which is next) can be entered into your quest log and take place. So depending where you were, you are most likely going to miss out on this small quest 'Helping Hands" because we need to 'bypass' it...which is really no loss, condisering what this broken questline will do to your game in the long run. So you don't get the silver ring reward...oh well.

 

So..."Wujeeta" should be standing before you, but the two of you are stuck in the land of the dead...such a pitty. Now we need to force the start/furtherance of the quest by injection through console commands the necessary quest "sequences". Every questline has them, along with their own ID #'s. In the "Helping Hands" quest, its Ref ID# is written thus:

 

FreeformRiften12

 

It has "5" quest sequence numbers, which are..."10, 20, 25, 200, 250"...("10" is the beginning of the quest, while "250" is the closing. This quest will ONLY "force initiate" from "200"...so do not try to go further back in the lineup. The printout of the 'quest ID with its sequence' #'s looks like this:

 

FreeformRiften12 10

FreeformRiften12 20

FreeformRiften12 25

FreeformRiften12 200

FreeformRiften12 250

 

So now, open the console and type 'exactly' as written below encluding caps, and DO NOT SAVE GAME at any time during this fix, untill I say so:

 

setstage FreeformRiften12 200

 

Hit 'enter' then close the console by hitting the 'tittle' key. You should see (if you did not have one before) a 'quest journal entry' being made at the top of your screen. If not, press "E" and talk to "Wujeeta" and see if she has more dialogue to offer that would start/continue the quest. If she does not, and is still telling you "thank you" for helping her, then open the console again, and type in the next command:

 

setstage FreeformRiften12 250

 

(Even if "Wujeeta" dialogues with you to further the questline, you must still do the above last step to "close out" this questline sequence because "Wujeeta" is not leaving this place, nor are you coming back...so make sure the quest closes to a finish)

 

That should bring up the wanted quest results and place it in your log. Talk to "Wujeeta" to finalize her part of the quest. You should now have a quest entry to go see the Jarl, be finished with "Wujeeta" and ready to leave. There is nothing more you can do for "Wujeeta", she cannot leave the "house of the dead", and will remain there. That is why it is vastly important that you finish out this quest with her now, and start the next 'leg' of the quest, and that is to go see the Jarl. Check to be sure it is present in your log.

 

Now to get out. This is where that "NPC/Location Ref #" I mentioned earlier comes into play. Open the console for the last time, and type in:

 

player.moveto <place your reference # here>

 

As I said, I used my horse Frost to locate to, because what you are doing is "fast traveling" to that NPC or Location. So this is what mine looked like:

 

player.moveto 00097E1F

 

That located me out of the 'house of the dead" and set me at Whiterun stables where Frost is located. From this point you should be back in the real world and your quest log should be updated and current. NOW DO A HARD SAVE AND RELOAD GAME.

 

Done...tha's all folks!....;)

 

I hope this helped. Good luck and happy dragon trails to you....... :thumbsup:

That is a lot of work and glad to see you were able to figure it out.

 

I guess I have been lucky, I have caught her each time I entered into Riften with each new character I created and gave her a Healing Potion right away.

 

Ya...it was...and I am half bald now for all the hair pulling.

 

But I must stand corrected...I felt so terrible about having to leave poor "Wujeeta" in the "house of the dead"...truly, I felt rotten about it (talk about emersion gaming). So, I left her, finished the questline, bought Honeyside, and became Thane. Then about five game days later as I am bopping through Riften,,,who do I smack right into? "Wujeeta"!! Alive and very well. I could not have been happier (I think I actually squeeled)....ahhh...I just love those kind of endings... :yes:

hey, i'm a bit late, but maybe someone wil look here later like i did. I found a way that brings back wueetja and let's you do the first quest

 

  • enter: prid 00019ddf

Has the same effect as going into the hall of the dead and click her py hand

  • enter: recycleactor

Will place wueetja in her everyday life

  • enter: moveto player

Moves wueetja to you

  • enter: resetquest FreeFormRiften12
  • talk to wueetja and give her a healing potion

Congratulations, you know have completed "Helping Hands"

  • enter: setsage FreeFormRiften12 200
  • talk again to her and ask about the dealer

Now the quest should go on as planned

 

(the caps in FreeFormRiften12 or 00019DDF don't matter)

 

Edit: do that only if she is dead

Well, she is not dead on my current play. But hot damn is annoying that I can't get the following quest after handing her the healing pot. I did all my miscellaneous quests thinking I had to finish one of them before getting the next quest from her : / I have kill/revive her, recycle her, changed relationshiprank and still nada >=( I never had this problem with her ever so I don't know what is wrong with her. Stupid lizard :(

Thought I'd add to this thread since it's still the top Google result for "can't find wujeeta." In Skyrim Special Edition, attempting to teleport to Wujeeta's corpse results in a hard lockup. I was able to resurrect Wujeeta with the following commands, from Riften:

prid 00019ddf

moveto player

resurrect

 

You still need to set the quest stage to 200 but, from there, you can complete the quest normally.

 

Hope this helps the next person with this problem on Special Edition.
