So I finished the companion's quest "Blood's Honor", the quest where you kill the 5 hag ravens and collect their heads. I return to Whiterun with the heads, and the towns folk are outside the companion house, staring at the dead Silver Hand. I go inside, and the NPC there tells me Kodlak is dead, and says we're going to the Silver Hand camp to avenge him. I get quest completed "Blood's Honor". But no follow up quest.

The NPC sits down and eats bread. The other characters in the room give "Person is Busy" and I cannot do anything. I loaded back a previous game and reworked my way there, and same issue.

Am I missing something?

Edit: I went in and killed every killable Companion. This let me talk to the 'leaders' and get the repeatable missions from them, but I couldn't advance further.

so, will this ever get fixed?

That's not a bug, just keep doing the quests and eventually you will use the head. It's like at the end of the companions story when you use it.

I have this problem as well... except for me, the last save that I could go back to is 13hrs behind what I'm up to now. So hopefully this will get fixed!

This just happened to me as well.


It is a bug because the next Companion's quest is supposed to start instantly, and it is not. The radiant quests are 'suspended' during the last few main quests due to Kodlak sending you on a quest, then Kodlak's death, then his funeral.

I did the quests, they all reloop. They have me rescue these kid napped people at the same dungeon, and kill the same bandits in the same place. I might be bugged because there's quests in my log they want me to hand to a dead companion (Story wise he died).

i was in the understanding that the op couldn't use the witches heads. After you get back from killing the witches Kodlak dies, you attend the funeral then talk to Aela or Farkas after the funeral and you should get a quest called purity of revenge. Then the quest after that is where you use the witches head in a quest called glory of the dead.

I had the exact same problem.
Killed the Witches and collected their Heads then returned to the Long House of the Followers.
Kodlak is Dead and you could talked to no one and have no more mission to progress........Nice.

BUT I Find a SOLUTION.....

If you have accepted the Quest where you have to recover the Helmet of Windhelm and this Quest is still Active,
then do the Quest before u go back to the Followers in Whiterun.
There is a SCRIPT Problem, because both Quest are in the same Location.

BUT it is VERY IMPORTANT that u DO NOT!!!!! Kill the 3 Silver Hand Bandits in the Last Room.
Just Take the Helmet out of the Chest and run out. Then return the Helmet to the Jarl.
Go back to the Followers and you can progress the Questline with no more Issues.
It worked just fine on my game. The Quest to recover the fragments was popping up as soon as i entered the Long House.

Hope that Helps.
