Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how I can make Froki Whetted Blade offer me his quest. I just discovered his shack yesterday. It wasn't even on my map before then. I have completed the main quest already and am almost 300 hours into the game with 30 mods installed, but I don't believe it is mod related. I don't typically use "heavy" mods, I use the little ones that add small things to the world, I don't have any massive overhaul mods, or "unofficial patches" installed. Heck, I don't even have any quest mods installed. (but don't think I'm not on the lookout for a few).

When I talk to Froki, he just says "Yes?" or "What is it?" with no dialog options. His grandson offers no dialog options either. Does he need to be out of his shack to give the quest or something? I know he's a hunter, so I've not ruled out that possibility, but I've also not seen him leave his shack.

I see many things about his bow as a dialog bug during the quest, but I haven't even been offered the quest and as I said, I just found his shack on the map yesterday. (He sure is tucked away back there.)

Any advice? I'm on the PC so console commands are a-ok.

I hate to bump, but I'm bumping.

Sounds like he and the grandson have freaked out.

He gives you the quest in his shack.
If neither are talking, somethings gone wrong. I think you can't do the quest, don't know anything to fix it.

I've been browsing the UESP site today (slow day at work, eh?) and found these commands:

setstage dunHunterQST 20
setstage dunHunterQST 21

I'd imagine that by typing one or the other command it would give me the quest. I don't, however, know which one to choose. The UESP site also shows quest stages 10 and 15. But 20 and 21 are the ones that have journal entries associated to them.

Here's the link I'm talking about and where I pulled those commands from: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Kyne%27s_Sacred_Trials


Advice?

I feel like I'm close.

I'd suggest using 21, since that ref's "marking" you - which you need to "pop" the guardians to fight.

Well, fishy fiddlesticks.....

• I tried the setstage commands and it's like nothing happened. No journal entry, nothing.
  
• I then tried to enable/disable Froki. Nope.
  
• Resetactor command. Nope. Just removes his clothes. Freaky.
  
• Kill command/ Resurrect command. No dice.
  
• resetquest dunHunterQST command. Zilch.

I'm quite literally lost as to what to do at this point.

Ouch. Well... I've no real info for you further. I've not used the setstage stuff myself, since (lucky me) I've not had things like this go sideways.

30 mods and you don't think any are causing a problem???

It's true, I have 30 mods installed, but I fail to see how any of them (on the surface) could affect a vanilla quest giver's dialog. This is the first time I've ever had a problem with the vanilla quests. Full disclosure, here is my list of installed mods. Nothing overly fancy, small potatoes. You tell me.

• Wear Circlets with Hoods
  
• Camping Lite
  
• Alchemist Farmhouse
  
• Follower Trap Safety
  
• Birds and Flocks
  
• Kill moves - No blur
  
• Better Dynamic Snow
  
• Unread books glow
  
• Increased bounty rewards
  
• Lord armor
  
• Bloodier Combat
  
• Breezehome Balcony
  
• Kerplunk - Watery Rocks
  
• Breezehome shadow fix
  
• whiterun trees
  
• Bound Tools
  
• Dovahkiin Temple - Sanctuary
  
• More Dragon Loot
  
• Breezehome Thane's bed
  
• Explosive Arrows
  
• Detect Skills Spell
  
• Breezehome Ladder fix plus
  
• Clam chowder
  
• Double Torch radius
  
• Lightweight potions and poisons
  
• Enhanced blood textures
  
• SKYUI
  
• Faster Vanilla Horses
  
• Follower Hunting Bow fix
  
• Kill Them Generals

Last bump and then I will resign myself to not being able to complete this vanilla quest.
