Skyrim talk:Death Incarnate

Solved Long Delay Problem

I also solved the problem of the long delay after entering the Night Mother's coffin by hitting the round X button in the middle of my controller (I'm on the xbox), the one that brings up the xbox menus (I hit it once to bring up the menu, then again to dismiss the menu). It was maybe just coincidence, I don't know, but the sounds of Nazir digging me out started directly after. Obax 05:54, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

If you continuously hit the xbox guide button after Night Mother says "Sleep," you will eventually be stuck on a black screen. If you can still use your back button, sleep for one hour, then the quest will continue. 04:04, 5 April 2013 — Unsigned comment by 24.241.225.61 (talk) at 09:05 on 5 April 2013 (GMT)

Save the game, and then load it. This will almost always work. — Unsigned comment by 98.113.66.160 (talk) at 15:34 on 16 February 2014 (GMT)

Kill Astrid

I used "Heal Other" on Astrid and it still killed her, and moved to the next step "Return to the Night Mother" Deadcrow 23:22, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Festus Krex

I was wondering what happens to Festus Krex during the attack because I looked around and didn't find his body anywhere.--151.199.61.29 19:35, 5 January 2012 (UTC)Bepease2269

Festus rex is just outside the sanctuary to your left, he's full of arrows, and pinned to a tree 92.24.51.252 16:00, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Duplicated Blade of Woe

Should this article also mention the way to get 2 Blades of Woe, mentioned on the Unique Weapons page? People who want to know everything about the quest will likely access this page but might not follow the links through to the reward - it would probably be more helpful to note that you can pickpocket the Blade before Astrid gives you one to end up with two, especially since the Unique Weapons page indicates you can disenchant it to learn Absorb Health, which is a pretty darn useful enchantment. 184.174.156.214 02:36, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Dead Thrall Astrid

Interestingly enough you can Dead Thrall burnt Astrid after the quest. Moreover, she can leave the sanctuary with you. However, it looks that in this state she has something like 1HP so you can use her only as a pack mule.-- 31.128.139.169 06:50, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

actually with the dark souls perk she will have 101 for health (: — Unsigned comment by 50.29.243.206 (talk) at 06:59 on 20 July 2013

Astrid's Hidden Room

Is there any way of accessing this room prior to the destruction of the sanctuary / this quest? I'd like to see what it looked like before it was ravaged by fire/explosion and Astrid performs the sacrament. Amalyn 22:41, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Nope, before the quest there is no room. It doesn't exist yet :P Jazstar 04:08, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Stuck in coffin fix (xbox)

At one point there was a fix mentioned in the main article to hit the wait button just as you enter the coffin and wait for 24 hours. This did in fact work for me (on three seperate playthroughs), and Im just wondering why it was removed? Its better than sitting there for 5 minutes with a blank, seemingly frozen, screen (if it even comes out of it on its own, which I truly doubt) 71.181.56.89 06:15, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

It may be that turning off auto-saves, which is currently mentioned on the page, is the actual source of the problem. Waiting may have only coincidentally fixed the issue. If you can confirm that waiting fixes it and that it's not a saving issue, feel free to add it back to the page. – Robin Hood↝talk 07:48, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Ebony Blade

Does Astrid count as a "friend" here, in so far as charging the Ebony Blade? If so, might be worth mentioning for people who want to minimize kills for it. (It's mentioned on the Kill Narfi page, for example.) --VSim 22:10, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Can I go back to Solitude without being fined?

I escaped Solitude before I got a bounty. So if I go back now, will I still be stopped by the guards and get a 1,500 Septim bounty, or am I safe? 98.217.230.157 02:18, 28 July 2012 (UTC) Sorry, wrong page. 98.217.230.157 02:25, 28 July 2012 (UTC) C-C

Losing A Follower

When doing this mission I left my follower, Jordis The Sword Maiden, in the courtyard outside the tower. After completing the mission, paying my fine, and returning to the courtyard she was gone. She had not returned to Proudspire Manor either. She is no longer my follower, as when I ask another follower to come with me there is no conflict. Her body is nowhere to be found, but after loading up a previous save and going straight to the courtyard without going to the Sanctuary (and paying my fine along the way to a guard that stopped me) she is still there and not being hassled by guards or anything. — Unsigned comment by 71.244.52.103 (talk) at 17:51 on 28 December 2012 (GMT)

Babette

Is she disabled during this quest, or is she just moved or kept in the unburned version of the sanctuary? — Unsigned comment by 98.28.225.144 (talk) at 15:53 on 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Disabled. I just used the console to make her active. Then did a player.moveto - which put me where she normally would be, but she herself was nowhere to be found. (Just a dead PO Agent and dead Gabriella.) Then I reloaded, again did a prid to make her active, and tried to move her to MY location. Nothing. Agmen (talk) 05:58, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Trying to save Arnbjorn

I made it down into the main area of the Sanctuary just in time to see Arnbjorn kill one of the two POs that he's scripted to fight. I ran up and killed the other one before he could kill him, and suddenly my character put her weapon away and became stuck in place, watching as an archer on a higher ledge killed Arnbjorn in one shot. She unfroze and got her weapon back once Arnbjorn was dead, but approaching the archer made her weapon disappear again. I had to decoy the archer into coming down from his ledge in order to kill him. So - kudos to the developers for their foresight, but a Bethesda game is a Bethesda game.--Shahrazad the Listener (talk) 17:03, 24 February 2020 (GMT)
