FourthOutsider Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I was doing part of the College of Winterhold quest, and a fight, and Lydia had disappeared by the end of the fight. I cant find a corpse or anything, and she had some valuables in her inventory, so this is a big thing. Not being very specific due to no spoilers allowed. Thanks for the help, and workarounds are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moikko Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 2 things.. First reload a save where Lydia is still with you.. secondly if u don't want to load then just get on with it and find another mule to carry ur valuables :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpionHunter Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Lydia is known to have relationships with elks, it's not at all uncommon for her to disappear, sometimes even during fights. I'm sure she will come back later to notify you there's a cave wondering what's in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzan Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 It happens. Wait an hour and she'll probably come back. If she doesn't, leave the zone and then wait an hour if you have to. If she still doesn't, fast travel. If at that point she is still gone, go back to where she was last seen and look for her. Or get her RefID and move to her with console commands.

Roane Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 We were visiting some folks who were friendly and chatty up to a point, then demanded we leave. I did. Lydia didn't. She stayed overnight with them. I was worried sick. Next morning, I went back to their place for her, and made sure she followed me out this time.

HornedOni Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 In my case, she died during a random dragon fight at the college. Without me noticing. And I only noticed after all my auto/quicksave slots were already overwritten and my last real savegame was... a 'few' hours back. Her naked corpse is still near the college entrance. Do follower corpses not despawn ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsung Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 2 things.. First reload a save where Lydia is still with you.. secondly if u don't want to load then just get on with it and find another mule to carry ur valuables :) I got Lydia recently, but cannot get her to carry or trade items for/with me. Is this a time factor like gaining her trust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy1123 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 If you lose Lydia, go up to dragon Reach. She is usually up there. She must be really depressed as she's always eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkManiak Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I swooped in and saved her from your horrible clutches like Superman!
