Dragon Rising Quest not starting

[Aurihazuma]

Ok folks...

 

This strategy got me not only all the way through Dragon Rising, but through the rest of the most of the annoying bugs... I hope.. Mod reactivation time follows discussion below.

I am on an old P4 model 680 @ 3.4GHz, 7GB Ram, 2GB EVGA GeForce 640

 

I chose to take a balanced view this time and made my way through the main quest with Alduin, officially joined the Stormcloaks after it became necessary in order to facilitate the main meeting and crucible moment * tries not to give any spoilers * Then finished the quest for the Alduin line and proceeded with building up all the faction quests to either mastery or near mastery.. Thieves, Brotherhood, Mages, and various Thane-ships.. Then it came time for the height of the civil war AND THE INFAMOUS Liberation of Skyrim ( full o'bugs she is ) Please follow instructions below...

 

DO NO OTHER QUESTS WHILE THIS QUEST IS ACTIVE.. Except for the associated battles of course.

 

I chose to NOT.. use the fast travel system f or anything, but instead rode shadowmere everywhere and stuck to as many public roads as possible.. and on the roads.. at that.. No side skirmishes, no sight-seeing except for the path.. Don't even stop for the annoying beasts whop waste my time * heh * along the way.. you can outrun them on horseback and shadowmere is totally kewl.. Do exactly what the quest says.. step by step..

 

Riding the horse to the camp and then to the battlefront worked fine..

 

I managed to get all the way through Solitude at the last.. without ON CE.. having Galmar not let me say " Reporting In "

 

And Mind You.. This is after 5.. count it FIVE tries to get past this bug and the rest of the little niggling bits in the vanilla coding.. I am going to leave Solitude now and reactivate everything... now that I am past the worst of it.. I hope.. * chuckles *

 

Namaste and G&GB...

I had the same problem, jdubjsr, but I didn't have Dovahkiin Hideout installed, but I did have about 12 mods installed. Got rid of all of them, and the quest still won't start. Can someone please get back to me at [email protected]

Aurihazuma... is there any easier way to fix the problem..? Your solution seems to work, but I don't understand a word of it.

I had this issue as well, ran it on 4 different start ups, and all resulted in the Dragon Rising Mission not being set off. Irilyth didn't run up after I gave the Dragon Stone to the Wizard, And the Guard never ran up the stairs. I tried the whole position Irilyth next to me, set up the stage and all that with console, but none of that worked either. Then I noticed here that someone mention uninstalling mods that deal with White Run, so I turned off the 6 Family Breezehome, and WALLAH, It Worked. After playing all 4 characters up to past killing the dragon, I will be attempting to load in a few more mods. So once again, if you have any add ons that deal with Whiterun, turn them off until at least after you get the Dragon Rising Mission Completed. If this does not work, then disable ALL mods, other than DragonBorn, Hearthfire, and Dawn Guard, and try it out.

I may have found a solution for those who can't find Irilith.

 

Are any of you running a mod called "Not so fast - Main quest"?

 

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2475

 

If you read a little ways down in the description it says the following:

 

• Breezehome is available for purchase immediately after giving Farengar the tablet from Bleak Falls Barrow and Ireleth does immediately not appear to introduce the first dragon sighting.
• One week after giving Farengar the tablet the journal entry "I wonder if Farengar has made any progress on his Dragon research." will appear. Ireleth's scene about the first dragon sighting will start the next time the player visits Farengar.

 

I hope this helps out.

Okay, i had this same issue and tried ALL the different solutions provided in varios forums but none worked. Turns out it was an issue with me killing 2 of the jarl's kids (apparently). I loaded a previous save before giving the dragonstone to the mage and resurrected both kids, then went out of dragonsreach and enabled Ilireth "prid 1a67f" then "enable" and "moveto player". After that i entered Dragonreach again, gave the Dragonstone to the mage and Dragon Rising quest started right up.
