What do these totems actually do? --Bonabopn 17:43, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

give the werewolf additional powers.109.154.178.15 16:06, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Is this glitched for anyone else?

Having problems actually starting this quest. I talk to Aela but she only gives me those dang repeatable quests (i.e. go kill this bear/saber cat that is in this house). She has never once given me a quest to find this totem thing. Is there a certain number of repeatables I have to do to get to the Totems of Hircine quest, or is this a bug/glitch? (99.136.224.214 23:36, 28 November 2011 (UTC))

possibly a bug as i am having trouble with this. only vilkis and aela gives me quests and they are always the same with aela...animal extermination, so far i haven't got the purity quest and i haven't got the totem quest.86.186.126.162 22:48, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
so far vilkis, farkas and aela give me quests, i previously dealt with the bug on the purity quest but i still can't trigger this totem quest, aela just keeps giving me animal extermination quests, is anyone else getting this bug? 109.154.178.15 16:06, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
I can't start this quest either. After I finished Glory of the Dead, all I get are Animal Exterminations. I'll try every quest giver and see if I get this one or the purity eventually. (ZekunD 10:13, 5 December 2011 (UTC))
I received the initial totem quest, but ever it's completion all Aela would ever give me are the animal extermination quests. I did the two purity quests for Farkas and Wilkas right after the totem quest, which makes me wonder whether if doing the two purity quests before finishing all 3 totem quests would somehow cause the totem quest to become unavailable. Anyone else have a similar experience? I got tired of the unending deluge of animal extermination quests so I used setstage console command to activate the second totem quest. Note that this did not enable any of the dialogue associated with the quest. I didn't even receive a waypoint. All that <setstage CR12 10> did was to update my journal saying Aela has found the location of a second totem in Ilinaga's deep. After doing a thorough search of the said dungeon I'm lead to believe that the totem wasn't even spawned. So I used <player.placeatme e3147 1> (e3146 is the scent totem, e3147 is the summon wolf totem, and e3148 is the fear totem item id) to spawn the totem on the ground. Picking it up did not bring about any change in quest log. Going back to the console I typed in <setstage CR12 20> which brought me to the "deliver totem to underforge" portion of quest. Thankfully along with the journal update I also received a compass waypoint pointing to the second altar in the underforge (no change in dialogue from Aela, though as soon as i placed the totem on the altar she went over and started praying). Now, I tried doing this for the last totem only to run into the problem of the console not recognizing the code <setstage CR12 10> as it is already logged in as complete. I typed in <sqs> which showed all stages of CR12 as complete. I saw somewhere that a quest can be reseted by typing <resetquest CR12> in console. So i did that, now sqs shows all stages of CR12 as incomplete and yet setstage still does not work. Somebody pleeeeeese help me, this is so frustrating. — Unsigned comment by 122.57.147.210 (talk) at 12:31 on 5 December 2011 (UTC)
i figured out what causes aele to constantly give the animal extermination quests instead of the totems of hircine, you must not marry her or she will just give out AE quests all the time, i reloaded an old save where i was not married to her or anyone and after 3 AE quests i got the totem quests. 86.179.18.163 12:51, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

() I am the original poster of this question, and I would like to say the above post is false. I have not married Aela, and in fact, I have not married ANYONE in the entire game. I have been single through the entire playthrough. I don't even have a different game file that is married. I'm so single, that I don't even have the "married" achievement on Steam, so I can safely say even being single, Aela will not give me the quest. I have not done the Purity quests either. One of my friends who lives about 15 minutes away has the PS3 version and he is unable to complete this quest as well because of this bug. I am on the PC version. (99.136.224.214 03:23, 6 December 2011 (UTC))

Its not false pal, she will not give me the totem quests while i married her. i reloaded a old save in which i did not marry her and after curing kodlak and waiting for her and the others to get back to whiterun she gave me the first totem quest after just three Animal Extermination quests, in the save that i married her in, all i get it Animal Extermination over and over and over again. not false, you are just probably experiencing a different glitch. NOTE that i have it on the 360 and i am not the only one who reported this glitch after marring aela, the forums.bethesda has many complaints on the totem bug. Mr.Scryer. 14:59, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
I didn't mean the part where if you marry Aela, then she won't give you the quest was false. What I meant was, you can be single and she still won't give you the quest. I'm sure if you do marry Aela, then you might be screwed; that part I was not falsifying. The part I wanted to make very clear was: Aela sometimes glitches and won't give you the quest even if you're not married to her. (99.136.224.214 07:32, 10 December 2011 (UTC))
I cured Kodlak then did several (2 or 3) AE quests from Aela. I assumed that's all I would receive from then on. After many many weeks (still only 2-3 AE quests total -- I was just completing them when I was near by) I swung by Jorrvaskr and turned a quest in to Aela. She then offered me the chance to go along for the Totem quest.
I accepted the quest and Aela replaced my follower Annekke -- who immediately began attacking us because I had her Aggression to 3. I quickly reloaded my auto-save from entering Jorrvaskr (I talked to Aela immediately after entering,) set Annekke's aggression back down, then turned the quest in to Aela. Afterwards, she just offered me another AE quest. I reloaded the save, another AE quest.
I am only a few quests into the main story line. I am married to Muiri. I have not been able to get Aela to offer me the quest again. — Unsigned comment by 173.89.143.1 (talk) at 06:55 on 6 December 2011 (UTC)
On the last totem quest, it freezes up during the load page for movarths lair. I have tried everything i know and looked up several answers and cant figure it out.. — Unsigned comment by 69.158.149.149 (talk) at 19:12 on 6 December 2011 (UTC)
I think these radiant quests are randomly given. I just got my first Totem quest on PS3. Before that, I was given another extermination. I reloaded because I didn't want to decline, took Aela as follower and did one different quest (The Blessings of Nature). I let Aela go after that and she asked me to come along for totem quest when I talked to her. So for the next 2 totems, I'll talk to her every time I finish other quests. (ZekunD 04:23, 7 December 2011 (UTC))
I got the rest of the totem quests one after another. So these totems are like blessing, only one effect at a time?(ZekunD 10:48, 7 December 2011 (UTC))
I believe I have figured out the glitch to this quest, but first I must ask, how many people cured their werewolf who are having this bug with constant AE quests? (Ikolo - December 7, 1:47 AM, ETZ) — Unsigned comment by 24.23.73.190 (talk) at 06:49 on 7 December 2011 (UTC)

() This is my situation and how i solved the "infinite radiant hunting without totems quest" issue(PC). I marryed Aela right after the "Glory of the dead" quest and found myself unable to participate in the totem quest (did 12 animal huntings before surrendering) using the command /player.sqs CR12/ (CR12 is the totems quest code [done in the command console]) I discovered that for some reason I had "Stage 0:" and "Stage 1:" set as complete (a 1 insted of a 0), so i typed in /resetquest Cr12/ (to reset the quest), then I asked Aela for work; got a hunting job, took her as my compañion, slayed the "beast" and told her the job was done. Then I dispached her home BUT before she left "the room" y asked her for work and the dialog option came up for the totem quest. I think that marrying Aela causes stages 0 and 1 to be set as done, and therefore there is no way to initiate the quest after the wedding. Hope this helps evreybody. PS: I didnt have the heads on me (they where at my house). PS2: I didt do any other werewolf quest, although i did other quest (finished the hole mage quest line)PS3: I didn't cure my self from lycanthropy, only Kodlac. — Unsigned comment by 190.135.9.40 (talk) at 16:53 on 26 December 2011

You my friend are a genius. THIS TOTALLY WORKED!! — Unsigned comment by 219.89.218.126 (talk) at 06:55 on 4 January 2012
I performed this as well, and it appears to work, however I have additional information. I too performed the sqs status check on the quest cr12, and stage 0 and 1 were both set to 1 as mentioned above. I reset them using resetquest cr12, after completing an AH quest, but then noticed I always received another AH quest regardless of when I asked for work (after dismissal but before leaving the cell, back at home, back at home with her following me). Instead I tried reseting the quest while I was currently on a quest, right after completing the main objective of the AH but before returning to Aela to turn it in. This time, she gave me the first totem quest immediately, AND I noticed afterwards that the quest stages 0 and 1 were once again both 1. I suspect that the next Radiant quest for each quest giver is assigned at the completion of the previous and NOT when you ask for a new quest. I believe the previous poster was correct that the Totem quest can only be given when stages 0 and 1 are 0, since my experience supports this theory. 109.235.42.234 01:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC)Brandark
That works. Was a werewolf, married to Aela. She gave me at least 10-12 animal quests until I saw this post. It made no difference whether I had heads in my house or inventory, whether she was with me or in the house. I also had stages 0 and 1 of cr12 set to 1. Once I reset it, she gave me one more animal quest which we did together, I handed it in, dismissed her and as above, before she left asked for work and got the second totem quest. — Unsigned comment by 86.171.64.178 (talk) on January 15, 2012 15:12
In my case, I was still a werewolf, had cured Kodlak, had taken Aela as a quest partner a few times, but had no married anyone. After a couple of "Animal Extermination" quests she offered the first Totem of Hircine quest. PC Version. — Unsigned comment by 69.140.126.103 (talk) at 15:35 on 11 December 2011 (UTC)
Playing on the PS3. I'm married to Aela and I still recieved 2 of the Totem quests but I haven't got the last one. I keep getting the Animal Extermination quests. At first she wouldn't give me the second one so I tried waiting for a few hours and she brought it up. Waiting could be a possible fix. — Unsigned comment by 24.180.218.145 (talk) at 04:34 on 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Xbox 360, version 1.3.5.0: I am married to Aela and had no problem getting the quests. I received alternating Animal Extermination quests and totem quests. Worked flawlessly. Based on the comments here, it seems there a bug may exist in some versions but there is no correlation between marriage and problems with assignment of the totem quest. The article should be updated as the assertion that marrying Aela has any effect on obtaining the quests is pure speculation inconsistency with my report and those above. Accretor 12:31, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

() I removed the reference to being married to Aela as there doesn't seem to be any correlation in the above discussion nor in my own experience. However, it seems likely that a bug exists in some versions and cases. It's best we don't speculate on this in the article unless we have better supporting info, right? Many of those reporting problems above — including those who believe marriage to Aela caused the problem and those who don't — haven't referenced version, platform, etc., so for all we know, this bug may now be fixed or at the least is based on as yet unknown triggers.

I try to go in the Ansilvund Burial Chambers but then it gets stuck on the loading screen for ages (10 minutes or so). I've tried 3 times getting in but i have to keep resetting the game because it gets stuck. Please help. Thanks. — Unsigned comment by 101.162.17.177 (talk) at 12:15 on 24 December 2011
I DID IT AFTER ALL:) Checked my status (player.sqs CR12) and reset it (resetquest CR12) because Stage 0 and Stage 1 were already marked completed (value 1 instead of 0). The game is glitched here for sure. Possibly storing the Witchheads at home or taking Aela as a follower (witch I both did) marks the first Totem completed. (I didn't marry Aela, although I earnestly thought about it:), but this might cause it as well.) Before storing the Witchheads and taking her as a follower she offered the Totem quest once, but I reloaded then to get Archery training from her (which isn't available during the Totem quest). Foolish! - Anyway, after reseting the quest, I had to do 1 Animal and on return I got the 1.Totem quest (dialogue option: "Is there anymore work to be done?" instead of "I'm looking for work."). After that Aela offered again only Animals. I did one, but declined the second. I check Vilkas instead (since earlier taking to Aela helped unblocking Falkas Purify quest, so I tried this here vice versa) and Vilkas offered DRAGON SEEKER. I did that one with him and waited 24hrs (because I thought there could be an certain wanted delay between the Totems quests). And I got the 2.Totem after that. (I already had slain an Animal before Dragon Seeker.) After the 2.Totem 1 more Animal and the 3.Totem - without anything else (I did not wait for another 24hrs - so this was probably nonsense).
CONCLUSION: First resetquest and later unblock with Dragon Seeker. - Good luck and thanks for the help from all others here! - parmenion, 22:50, 13 Feb 2012 (UTC)

Totems of Hircine only available to werewolves?

I cured myself of the werewolf curse immediately after curing Kodlak. Then did a few random quests and was able to purify Vilkas and Farkas. I'm guessing that Aela does not wish to be purified, and that Totems of Hircine cannot be unlocked unless you are a werewolf. Therefore, Aela will continue to indefinitely give random animal extermination quests because you cannot do Totems of Hircine with her. Is this theory already obvious to you all?173.171.221.77 22:28, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

That is exactly my assumption, I don't know if this was intention from the creators or a glitch, but I believe cleansing yourself of the werewolf blood will disallow you from being able to pick up the totems of Hircine quests. I plan on testing this quite a bit to find out soon for verification. (Ikolo - December 8 12:03 AM EST) — Unsigned comment by 24.23.73.190 (talk) at 05:03 on 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Indeed. We are werewolves seeking the special abities, only attainable by doing the totem of hircine quests, which Aela will not give. Obviously if one has cured werewolf blood there would be no need for this quest. It seems futile. I've done over 15 AE quests, but to no avail. (ImOnXbox - December 8 11pm) — Unsigned comment by 41.31.191.187 (talk) at 20:40 on 8 December 2011 (UTC)
Well, unfortunately I kept getting stuck in werewolf form every time I would transform. It didn't matter how long I would wait in-game, I would remain a werewolf. I tried waiting in-game for 24-48 hours, then I ate dinner in real life, came back and I was still in werewolf form. I even left Skyrim on while I went to sleep and 8 real-life hours later I was still in werewolf form! This happened with earlier saves too, so I couldn't revert back to an older save. My only option to get out of werewolf form was setstage f6090 100. Only much later did I realize that by doing that, I might have screwed myself out of being able to get the totems of Hircine because apparently setstage f6090 100 is the quest that cures you of werewolfism. I have since made myself a werewolf again by using the console code player.addspell 92c48. The game still recognizes me as a werewolf, NPCs make remarks about hair in my ears and my wolfish grin, and my days-as-a-werewolf counter is still going up. I was hoping that by being a werewolf again, it would trick Aela into giving me the Totems quest, because I never wanted to be cured in the first place. I only wanted to get out of werewolf form so I could continue on with my quests. Is there any way to undo the setstage command? Or once you type that in, it's set in stone? I can live without the Totems, because all I would use anyway is the Fear roar, which is pretty much the same as the default roar, but it would be nice to be able to do the quest. (99.136.224.214 07:43, 10 December 2011 (UTC))
did you cure yourself of being a werewolf??? becouse i have and i think that is the problem? i cant start it and i havent married her BUT the only thing i can think of tht might mess it up is the fact im not a were wolf anymore . . . anythoughts? — Unsigned comment by 109.156.230.88 (talk) at 23:23 on 12 December 2011 (UTC)

() Yeah that's what I think it is. If you have ever typed in setstage f6090 100, then you won't be able to do the Totems quests. I did a little experiment and here's what I found. First, I started a completely new game. After doing the first dragon mission, I did the entire Companion's quest line without doing any other quests. No more main story quests or miscellaneous quests. After I cured Kodlak, I waited a few days for Aela, Farkas and Vilkas to go back to Jorrvaskr. Once they were back inside Jorrvaskr, I talked to Vilkas first and he offered to go on a dragon hunt with me. After that quest was finished, I talked to Farkas and he wanted to be purified. I purified Farkas and then I talked to Aela, and she gave me a Totem quest! I did the Totem quest and then I talked to Vilkas again, and this time he wanted to be purified, so I purified him too. After that, I went back to Jorrvaskr and was able to do the rest of the Totem quests from Aela without any problems. She's not even glitched inside the underforge, which is a miracle as well. I'm thinking that if you progress too far into the main story, the Companion questline has a higher chance of being glitchy. Or maybe even doing certain miscellaneous quests will glitch up the Companion quests. I've played through Skyrim 3 different times now, and this is the first time I got the Companion quest to work 100% correctly. The only thing I did different to make it work this time was to not join another guild or do any other main quests once I picked up the first Companion quest.

So to summarize on how to complete the Companion questline glitch free:

• Never type in setstage f6090 100. Doing this will lock you out of the Totems of Hircine quests.
• If you start a new game, do all of the Companion quests first. Don't advance through the main story after the initial dragon slaying quest. Don't do any miscellaneous quests either.
• Don't join another guild while doing the Companion quests.
• Don't marry Aela. For extra caution, don't marry anyone until the entire guild questline has been completed.

Also note, this is what worked for me. Your experience might be different. (99.136.224.214 09:23, 14 December 2011 (UTC))

I found out that an easy way to have Aela give you the Totems quests is having the witches heads in your inventory.
I was getting only animal exterminations, I put the heads in the inventory and the totem quest showed up right after an animal extermination. I completed the quest, talked to Aela again, did another animal extermination and got another totem quest right after it.
hope it helps some of you. — Unsigned comment by 93.151.250.181 (talk) at 19:02 on 20 December 2011 (UTC)
All the above doesn't matter much:
You simply need to have the witches heads in your inventory when you talk to Aela (obtaineable by doing the optional quest of wiping out all the witches) or else its nearly impossible to get the quest and she will keep givin you animal extermination (I tried with 3 different characters, ont he first I obtained the totems quests at the beginning, after becoming a werewolf, on the second I got married, became Harbinger and leadder of the Thieves guild, on the third I first completed mages quests then joined companions)
Note: the heads MUST be in your inventory, it won't work in you have the heads stored in your house, if you sold them or threw them away) — Unsigned comment by 213.243.216.26 (talk) at 11:36 on 21 December 2011 (UTC)
I'm still getting animal exterminations, even with the heads in my inventory (although i have 4 of them, and am unsure whether or not it matters if they are marked as quest (i know how to un-quest-item them)). would it have anything to do with purity quests? I am still a werewolf.
Also... It propbably doesn't help that i still haven't completed Darkness Returns — Unsigned comment by 2.25.166.222 (talk) at 20:07 on 24 December 2011
I haven't gotten to this bug yet, but for those PC players who cured themselves and then used setstage to get reinfected, did you consider that there is probably a scripting break and that you may need to reset Aela so that she recognizes that you're a werewolf? Disable/Enable may update her scripting and allow the quest to continue. This is the regular command to update/upgrade NPCs. Lazar 00:29, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Totems crash

Most annoying of all is that I got the Totem's quest (360 version) and it sent me to Morvan's Lair which I'd already cleared of Morvan and also returned to, to get a book. Now when I try to go in the game just crashes. I read this happens at other locations for other Hircine totems. Any ideas what to do? — Unsigned comment by 78.41.3.113 (talk) at 19:38 on 18 January 2012

The first totem in this quest sent me to Morvunskar. My game (360) now crashes whenever I try to enter with Aela. I believe this is a similar situation to the Morvan's Liar and Haemar’s Shame crashes. I have already cleared Morvunskar in A Night To Remember and then reentered it successfully later to pick up forgotten loot. Now I am stuck with Aela and no way to dismiss he, except to go back to a very early saved game. — Unsigned comment by 68.83.233.174 (talk) at 20:32 on 21 January 2012
I had a rather large answer that I was going to add here. But if you carefully read the Notes section on the Totems page, it will tell you what to do. Just remember, you must save every time before talking to Aela. If you get a Daedric Quest shared location (like Morvunskar) or get a bad quest target indicator (points to Jorrvaskr, means no quest item spawned) or get any location that is known to be buggy, just reload and ask her again for a better location. The Totems quests are random locations, so why take one with bugs? Just going in and out the main doors can also help to change her dialogue options. If she's stuck on a bad location, just reload and go do something else for a day or so and then try again.
The main thing is to always make good, timely and consistent saves. Learning to make good Hard, Auto and Quick saves will save you a lot of time and headaches. Lazar 21:42, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
anyone have a different answer than the obvious? Isn't there another way into Morvunskar? I thought I read that there was before, but cannot seem to find it now. — Unsigned comment by 76.117.50.249 (talk) at 19:55 on 5 February 2012
Lazar, I wish you would add what you were going to write. I again reread the notes section on the Totems page and found nothing relevant to a fix for this.
My problem: On PS3, I get the Totems quest at Ansilvund and clear the main chamber, but when I get to the door to the Ansilvund Burial Chamber, the game freezes as I try to go through. This freeze is different that the previous freezes that have occurred. I can still access the PS3 menu to quit the game, but when I do it automatically restarts the PS3. I've tried going to a different location for the quest and reactivating once inside, performing other quests and then coming back, marrying Aela, waiting many game days, with autosave turned off and on, etc. If anyone knows a way to fix this or to postpone the quest and have Aela stop following me, that would be much appreciated. — Unsigned comment by 66.68.8.149 (talk) at 22:07 on 7 February 2012
The closest I've come to completing other quests like boethiah's calling. Is that there is a way to have a second follower supposedly for xbox, but I havent figured it out yet, Also the bethesda patch that was supposed to be out last month is supposedly going to have a fix for this, it just says "cave crash fix" so I'm hoping that comes out soon and it works for our problem. — Unsigned comment by 74.204.140.205 (talk) at 05:22 on 9 February 2012

Need More Information About Fear Shouts

Where can we learn more information about the fear shouts? For example, up to what level (and what range of distance) will the fear shouts work? What is the difference between the original fear shout and the Totem of Hircine "higher level fear shout"? Following links only leads to the "Fear" spell, which only describes the basic spell (level 9). Does the Howl of Terror have the exact same stats? The in-game book about the Totems of Hircine imply that the high level shout will work on everyone who is not a werewolf (or has been a werewolf). "[T]hose who witness their forms cower in a terror unknown except to those who have glimpsed the face of Hircine himself." So far I've encountered a fair number of generic enemy NPCs that evidently have had personal chats with Hircine. There is at least a page for the wolf spirits, so hopefully information (like stats) about those will fill in on that page, but I would like to see (find) some detail about the fear shouts. --Amsuko 21:44, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I've used the higher level fear shout, some high level NPCs didn't react. For instance, I get the message saying "Master Conjurer is too powerful for Scent of Blood". However, I am almost certian that the higher level fear shout simply increases the distance the shout can be heard, though that's speculation, I'll look into it later as soon as I fix my controller. Only thing I can confirm right now is that people whom have had absolutely no relations to Hircine have immunity purely based upon their level. Some higher level bandits have resisted my fear shouts before as well, all I can remember for now is the Master Conjurer. I'll look into this matter later as well. To my knowledge, it doesn't bump up the levels the shout effects, almost positive. Roleplayer242621 13:49, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

FIX USING CONSOLE COMMANDS Keep at top, possibly edit into page or post on any forum uses
setstage cr01(or cr02**) 20, setstage cr12 1 , setstage cr12 20
-first put setstage cr12 1 in console, THIS IS IMPORTANT EVERY TIME
-go get a animal extermination quest from aela and go outside jarviskar(sp?)
-put setstage cr01 20 in console and go back to aela and fulfill quest and, again*, ask for work
-go outside, use setstage cr12 20 command to complete the quest and go to underforge to place totem. quest complete.
Repeat steps 3 times for all 3 totems
  • since setstage cr12 1 changes to totem of hircine quest to avaiable, the next quest from her will be the totem
    • 2 different animal extermination quest are available, figure it out if nothing happens when putting one or the other

Aela and Farkas won't give any quests

This is my situation: 1. I made Glory of the Dead 2. directly after I cured Kodlak I married Aela without made any quest 3. After this I made a quest for Vilkas 4. I am still a werewolf Since that I have following problem: I have not the option to ask Aela or Farkas for any Quests. Only Vilkas is giving me quests but these are all the time the same quests (Escaped Criminal, Family Heirloom and Rescue Mission). He don't give me the quests Dragon Seekers or Purity. I have the same thing with stage 0 and stage 1 that they have a 1 behind but when I write "resetquest cr12" in the command line they change to a 0. But when I speak to Aela I have still not the option to ask her for a Quest. But when I start a Quest for Vilkas and then speak to her there ist the option for a quest but when I try to press this option she say that I alraedy have a quest from Vilkas. When the Quest is finished and I speak to them the option is away.

Aela hunting glitch

While looking for the first or second (can't remember) totem in Greenspring Hollow we were attack by a saber tooth. I killed it easily, but now I was told by Aela to kill the beast in Greenspring Hollow which just so happens to be that same saber tooth. It's laying there, dead with the marker above it's head. I even shot it but the marker wouldn't go away, I went back to Aela to ask for work and she said she's already given me a job. How do I exterminate something that's already dead? --173.81.44.104 21:36, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

The bug is listed on the appropriate quest page; it's more relevant to that quest than this one, as it was a coincidence that you killed the sabre cat during this quest (it could have been killed at any time in gameplay and still cause the bug). Anyway, the bug can be fixed with console commands if you're playing on PC. If you're playing on XBox or PS3, you can try reloading an earlier save-- if you don't have one from before killing the sabre cat, try a save from before taking the Animal Extermination quest from Aela. She may send you to a different location (with a different beast to exterminate), or give you a different quest altogether. ABCface 02:48, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
