BrettM Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Yesterday I was killing the giant in Giant's Grove for Chief Yamarz while he waited safely out of the way. When I got back to him, there was a dead Elder Dragon lying next to him. WTH? I never heard the sound of a dragon battle back there as I was fighting the giant, and I'm pretty sure that Yamarz coward couldn't have taken one down anyway. He didn't even seem to notice it. But, it burst into flames as I approached, giving me the soul and an opportunity to loot it. Then I remembered that a couple of days ago I was attacked by an Elder Dragon when I traveled to Morthal, and something strange happened. I hit him with the finishing arrow just as he flew off a building, and he flew off to crash over near the mill. Or so I thought. I searched the area for quite some time, but never found his carcass to get my loot and soul. I finally shrugged it off and went about my business. I guessed that this was the same dragon, somehow attached to me until I got his soul. A couple of fast-travels later, suddenly that dead Elder Dragon started showing up everywhere I went, with flesh miraculously restored but no loot or soul. It was something like the way horses behave, except for being useless other than for amusement, and we seemed to be a team. Who wouldn't want a dragon tagging around after them, right? So cool, except for the dead part. Fortunately it stopped after a while ... except for Riften. At first he appeared on the bridge closest to Honeyside every time I went to Riften or exited the house. Later he moved to the next bridge over. Now he is always down in the canal below Snow-Shod Manor, slowly moving over to intersect with the building each time I travel, like something is slowly pulling him in that direction. I think the Snow-Shods are going to have a dead dragon in their basement soon. I'm guessing he settled on Riften because I use Honeyside as my primary dwelling and visit frequently. But, while this is an amusing situation, I think it might be best to put an end to it. Is there a way to make this critter go away?

BrettM Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thank you. The dragon has broken free of Riften and is following me around again (though not consistently), becoming a real pita. Next time he shows up, he's history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettM Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Sorry to follow up my own post, but this dead dragon seems to be very persistent. I think I've disabled him half a dozen times now, and he still keeps appearing off and on, mostly in Riften but occasionally paying me a surprise visit in other locations. The ID shown when I click on him is 00013b68, if that information is of any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkwingDirk Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Try the command 'markfordelete' while targeting him. The next time you enter a new area, he should be gone. Just be SURE you are targeting the right thing when you use this command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldofscotty Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 you could probably try the opposite and actually resurrect the dragon, then kill it again. console. click it and resurrect 1 Worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkwingDirk Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Don't! The Dragon will be unkillable if you do! It has happened to me twice. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magiii Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 dark is right. using resurrect can cause some serious problems. best way is markfordelete but be SURE you target the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
