forever mourning bug. Detailed workaround plz

[Yanazake]

SPOILERS AHEAD...

 

So, I wanted to advance in the companions questline to be able to get the totems of hircine. I have a save BEFORE going to talk with Whitemane [that's his name, right?] and one right before entering the cave with the witches.

 

After venturing the caves, geting 4 witch heads, see one of them bug up in a "T" stance without the head, and not being able to get the final one, I went back to whiterun and the bug was there.

 

After looking into the wiki, there's something about the helm of winterhold. I didn't do that quest, so I went check it with my save "before talking to Whitemane". Seems like the helm is in a different place than the one pointed out by the wiki.

 

 

So, what are your recommendations to me? I really want the totems and to try out more werewolf gameplay.

Please, can someone suggest the best way to get past this bug??

sure thing

 

have you down the quest in winterhold called "Helm of Winterhold"?

 

if no, then do that WITHOUT KILLING ANYONE in the dungeon !

 

just press "tgm" in the console so you can't be killed , get the helm , turn in the quest, press "tgm" again to remove god mode

 

and go back to whiterun

 

quest should kick in

 

worked for me

 

 

or try this :

 

A glitch also occurs where this quest cannot be started if the player has already cleared Driftshade Refuge. If you have already cleared it, then enter the Driftshade Refuge dungeon, go into the console and type "prid 0006a99c" and then "resurrect" (no quotes). After that, leave Driftshade Refuge and type in the console "setstage c05 10". You can now go to Vilkas and start the quest.

 

didn't try it tho

 

 

best regards
