Take Up Arms Quest Glitch


Rickstir10

Recommended Posts

During the first companions guild quest, "Take up arms", I used destruction magic flames on vilkas when he asks to train for quite some time, and now he only repeats the same line, telling me to to use magic, rendering the quest incompletable as well as rendering any other quest incompletable, not allowing me to absorb dragon souls, and not allowing me to be arrested or buy anything from any merchant in the game. Can someone please assist me with this, as my character is level 43 and my last save was over 30 hours ago. Thanks for any help!

 

Oh and I play on PS3

Hey!!!

 

This same problem happened to me last night and I got SO ANGRY i almost broke my disc. Anyways this morning I emailed the Skyrim tech support. They gave me a very helpful tip...and it solved my problem!! I hope I'm not too late and you didn't delete the save file yet...

 

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS.....use the wait function (select button on ps3) and WAIT for 3-5 days. I waited like 4 days (thats about 96 hours) and then everything worked again. I think the glitch ends up messing up the game and everything around it...so the skyrim techie told me that everything gets "queued up" and jammed up. I guess the waiting function helps your console/PC clear the queue. I just tried this and it worked for me...I am now able to buy from shops and advance in other quests.

 

SPREAD THE WORD!!!

Does this let you finish the quest? Cause it won't let me. And do you wait near vilkas or away from him? Thanks

I had to move away from Vilkas and do the wait thing b/c I had bounty in whiterun and the guards kept chasing me...I haven't tried to finish the stupid quest yet...I'm scared to try :/

Just finished the quest. It worked out for me...I had to try it b/c it was causing me to lag while in whiterun...but yeah it should work...i used a dagger and sliced him a few times (3-4 times) and he stopped the fight and gave me his sword.

Hi! Can somebody help me to fix NPC Vilkas. During "Take up Arms" quest (Train with Vilkas) Vilkas dont drop their sword. And I have to used console command




player.setstage c00 30


to get to the next stage in this quest. After this I cant talk to Vilkas at all. He rises his fists and don't do anything.


I use USKP/UDGP/UHFP/UDBP 2.05

Please help me to fix Vilkas!

I have tried (click on Vilkas) then:



resetai
enable
disable


No luck :sad:

I have a similar bug with Vilkas. When getting the quest, Vilkas runs to the back of Jorrvaskr, and starts hitting the training dummies with his sword. Then, when i approach him, he sheathes his weapon, and stands still, doing abselutely nothing. The dialogue breaks too, so that i cannot enter dialogue with him. I had to use the "Setstage" command to receive the sword, and then carry on. But the dialogue was broken all the way through, and after completing the Companions quest line. I know that he's supposed to raise his weapon and shield, and then sparr with me, but he doesn't. Anyone know a fix to this?
