Skyrim talk:Striking the Heart

Radiant AI

Is this Radiant AI randomized or a regular quest? In the Companions page, it's listed as Radiant AI. — Unsigned comment by 187.67.227.156 (talk) on 21 November 2011

Using resetquest cr09 does not work

I'm on PC and even being on pc when i type setstage cr09 20 and / or setstage cr200, nothing happens and aela keeps telling me I have work to do etc etc, I could just skip to the next quest but I'm not sure if that'll mess anything up. — Unsigned comment by 24.63.171.231 (talk) on 18 January 2012

The area I was sent to (Valtheim Towers) had been previously cleared and the quest marker was pointing at empty space. But setstage cr09 20 worked. 98.165.130.46 06:09, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Bugged and commands not working

I took this quest and then didn't do it for weeks. Once I decided to finally do it, I looked at the description only to find that there was no map marker. It said in the quest description that it was Redoran's Retreat though, so I checked the Wiki for where it was. I went in and killed all the other Silver Hands, but when I got to the leader he didn't have a quest marker either. I killed him, nothing happened. So I started checking for common bugs, but couldn't find anything similar. Tried setstage, tried setobjectivecompleted, NOTHING. Did sqs after, nothing had changed. Somehow, it just wouldn't read the commands. After trying about a million times, I did resetquest, and after a reload it worked. But now I can't bloody start it again. I've already completed Glory of the Dead. Whenever I try talking to Aela now all she gives me is random side quests. Halp, I started this character for the sole reason of doing the whole Companions quest chain :( — Unsigned comment by 188.222.251.186 (talk) on 9 March 2012

Why do I still have this quest?

I finished the Companion's questline.. where did this come from? I've apparently killed the Silver Hand Leader (I don't remember when) and need to return to Aela.. but the quest marker doesn't point to her and she has nothing to say about it...? --99.224.46.100 19:46, 28 December 2014 (GMT)

Solution to the following quest bug

Simple explanation of bug:

Aela gave me the task to kill the Silver Hand leader in Broken Helm Hollow. But I recieved no map marker. I found the location myself and killed a bandit leader. No quest update.

Solution:

On PC in-game, the console is opened by '|', the symbol left of '1' on the keyboard.

In the console, type CompleteQuest CR09

This finished the quest. I talked to Aela and recieved the follow-up quest Blood's Honor.

Detailed explanation of my bug:

Note first that I had 12 active quests + 11 quests in the Miscelaneous tab = a total of 23 quests.

The console in Skyrim SE can provide a list of active quests. This is done by typing showquesttargets in the console.

In my case, I had only 20 active quests. (which is very strange) Since the quest ID for Skyrim:Striking the Heart is 'CR09', I typed showquesttargets and looked for 'CR09' in the console (scroll up and down with PageUp and PageDown). It wasn't active!

It makes no sense to update the non-active quest by SetStage CR09 20. Thus the solution was to tell Skyrim that the quest is completed.

PS: Be careful of using this command in quests yielding items, spells, or opens up places in the world. For a simple kill quest like Striking the Heart, there should be no side-effects (none in my case).

Hope this helps a fellow companion. — Unsigned comment by 37.191.195.173 (talk) at 17:49 on 11 April 2018 (UTC)
