Stuck on Dragon Rising quest

Arqade Asked by Faidden on April 13, 2021

I’m stuck on the Dragon Rising quest. I’ve already killed the dragon and it tells me the next part is to investigate the dragon. I’ve already done that, but it doesn’t change or update the quest. All Whiterun soldiers that were with me in the quest are still ducked down just as they did to prepare for the dragons plummet as it died. What can I do to move on from it without going back to a previous save? I’ve already tried resetting the quest but that’s not working at all.

Unfortunately, by "investigating" dragon you're supposed to absorb it's soul. If that didn't trigger the quest advancement then you have 2 options:

  1. Reset quest by loading save where it hasn't started / restart game.

  2. Use Console Command "setstage" to advance the quest

    2.a. Open Console and use "setstage MQ104 90" to get past "investigate dragon" (stage 80).

    2.b. Use "setstage MQ104 160" instead to complete the quest.

I had the same problem. I fixed it by entering setstage MQ104 90 in to the console.

just discovered, that if you didn't get the dragon soul and you are too far away the dragon will follow you and fall/faint/die again and if you leave it again you will come back with the dragon covered by dirt

After unsuccessful attempts trying everything I came across, I found this on Fandom. Simple is best. Worked like a charm.

I have Legendary and had the same problem stuck on first dragon could not absorb soul. After a huge amount of looking around I finally fixed it. Here's how:

Go to C:Usersyour nameAppDataLocalSkyrim (Make sure to show hidden files first as this folder is hidden.)

Then you will see 2 files DLCLIST and PLUGINS. All you need to do is make sure your patches are in the right order.

This is how I have mine and it fixed my problem:

Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp Dawnguard.esm
HearthFires.esm
Dragonborn.esm
HighResTexturePack01.esp HighResTexturePack02.esp HighResTexturePack03.esp Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp
Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp
Unofficial Dragonborn Patch.esp
Unofficial High Resolution Patch.esp

Make these changes to both files.
