Been all over the internet on this. I have the first two words. I go to an open outside area, shout at ground, nothing happens. Tried in and outta combat

You have only 2 words? But he gives you all the three when you talk to him o.O

Yeah, I only have the first two words. I have no idea whats up. Theyre unlocked, and my character shouts, but nothing happens. Tried it in the big Forgotten Vale, too. Too late to reload. Am I missing something obvious? Im screwed, sounds like a bug

He will leave you alone when he is defeated.

You have to look at the ground in a wide open, flat area and hold the shout button down to say all three words. If you only have two, I have no idea how that happened.

I unlocked all three (even spent 3 whole dragon souls), and my character only says the first word no matter how long I hold that Shouts button down... :(

He's never come when I've called. Went to the wide open planes outside Whiterun near where the Mammoths hang and shouted pointing up, down, left, right, sideways. Nothing. Then a dragon conveniently attacked still nothing. I have the first word only.

I also tried to call him and Odahviing when the two dragons attack on the ice. Thought it’d be cool to see a 4 dragon battle. Nobody showed by the time I killed both dragons. That was the first time I tried to call Odahviing and I was aiming at the sky with him. So maybe he didn't show 'cause the battle was over. But Durnehviir, nothin'.

I think my spell absorption actually absorbed the shout since its summoning him. (I hate spell absorption now....recast a ton of spells all the time)

You should double check you don't have all 3 words. He gives you all 3 at once and for some reason it's easy not to notice. You need to unlock them but they should be there.

To bad that he doesn't do anything on my file except rawr while I'm getting double [censored] by legendary dragons. And here I thought Lydia was the worst....

As with summon dragon the first two words do nothing and the spell is triggered by the third. Unless you have a save before you aquired the shout I'm afraid you are out of luck.

I've been saying this since the beta, he works like Conjuration spells and therefore succumbs to the same downfalls that they do. Spell Absorption WILL absorb the shout entirely and eat your recast timer up.

Sorry this might be an ignorant's question but I havent found the answer on internet, what is the effect of the "Summon Durnehviir" Shout once he has taught the player all three words of the Soul Tear ?

It summons him on the ground, and he apparently summons skeletons and other undead.

Not sure. If he's on open ground he's easy enough to summon, but I haven't personally tried it.
