Skyrim talk:Skjor

Skjor Respawned?

Skjor dies in the Companions questline. After being done with the Companions questline, I continued to get jobs from the Companion leaders. I went down into the Companion's living quarters to get more jobs one day and to my surprise I found Skjor standing there offering me another "Escaped Criminal" quest. As I said before, Skjor dies in the Companion's quest line. Is this a bug? What's going on here?

I can confirm this bug, I had this same experience. Kronos o 17:49, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Happened to me too. I wish someone would at least tell him I run the Companions now.86.42.203.109 11:55, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Same happened, pc version here. It's really annoying to keep hearing him call me whelp. 86.144.248.35 23:02, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

I've seen Skjor after he's dead, but he's still dead. He's lying on the floor of his quarters. This is on the PC. The Invisible Chocobo 06:38, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

I saw him with other companions fighting a mammoth, but he was on the floor. — Unsigned comment by 80.103.181.233 (talk) at 15:16 on 5 December 2011

(←) I completed the companion quest line as well, went to Skjor's quarters and sure enough, he was lying on the floor dead. I had been in his room many times before but for whatever reason he just recently showed up. This is on the PC version as well. (99.136.224.214 02:44, 6 December 2011 (UTC))

I saw Skjor sitting in a chair in the dining hall.. the next time i went there, it skipped back to the event where the HQ was attacked. Aela and the two brothers keeps engaging me trying to tell me about the attack, but they cant.. Its effing stuck.. — Unsigned comment by 175.142.11.184 (talk) at 12:52 on 6 December 2011

I think Skjor respawning might have something to do with Gallows Rock resetting after getting another quest there. I found Skjor sitting outside the the Companion's hall after I did a quest to get a book for Urag in Gallows Rock. — Unsigned comment by 108.71.89.45 (talk) at 01:20 on 17 December 2011

On my game (xbox360), he respawned after 6 months time. Shocked and confused, I referred to UESP and this page... No complaints here, I lamented Skjor's demise -- Nice to have an old "friend" back!--Skober 10:52, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Skjor showed up in Jorvaskrr yesterday, handing out quests, after I finished one of the two Purity quests. I haven't done the Boethiah sacrifice quest yet. Maybe I could use that as a "bug-fix". Frostmaw 19:08, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Skjor is a ZOMBIE WEREWOLF!!!! I find it comical to be honest. IT'Z ALIVEZ! Theindividual 07:53, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

(←) Lol this happened to me too when i became harbinger i actually never knew until i did "Ask the companion leaders for work" and i saw 4 arrows i checked out and skjor was in the main hall calling me a welp 0.o — Unsigned comment by 77.166.160.62 (talk) at 14:38 on 11 May 2012

I too have just had Skjor respawn in Jorrvaskr. Walked in one morning and there he was, happily eating breakfast next to Aela. He wasn't naked but that might be because I didn't loot his armor after he died. I had recently gone back to Gallows Rock for another quest and remember his corpse still being in the same place, in pristine condition, weeks after his death, so the dungeon resetting may very well have something to do with his return. He won't do anything but call me a whelp, but for some reason as soon as he came back, Aela FINALLY gave me a totem quest... I had given up hope, thinking she was bugged into looping endless animal extermination quests. --67.174.246.172 17:22, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

I have a save where I married Aela; one day I'm out walking and there's Aela, Ria and a naked Skjor (I had looted his wolf armor & boots when he died; my guess is that's why he's naked, still hasn't respawned any equipment) bobbing along in the ground. A week or two later and he's back in Jorrvaskr calling me whelp. Pretty funny. 360 version. 99.245.236.172 01:44, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh yeah, nearly forgot. He didn't bug any of the other quests, I did both the Purity quests and all three Totem quests after the resurrection of Skjor. 99.245.236.172 01:47, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

I forgot that he was supposed to be dead, I completed the questline a long time ago and lately I've been taking radiant quests from him everyday, but for some reason he stopped and I can't even initiate dialogue with him. Valus (talk) 04:10, 6 February 2013 (GMT)

I have something to report/ask

So I was dragon hunting around the Rift where i saw both Skjor and Aela travelling together. They helped me fight the dragon and after i took its soul, they had some sort of dialogue glitch where they kept interacting with me. This is before i joined the companions....now that I have joined, theyre still doing it. Any suggestions besides reloading? — Unsigned comment by Minigenius1246 (talk • contribs) at 07:35 on 21 December 2011

After completing the companion quests, some people have reported that Skjor reappears at the guild — Unsigned comment by 24.23.1.97 (talk) at 23:02 on 28 December 2011

Skjor

Skjor resurrected, naked, in Jarrvaskr. Gave me an Escaped Criminal quest, which I completed and reported back, but the game freezes each and every time I try to leave Jarrvaskr after speaking to him. I can reload to outside Jarrvaskr, but it's annoying that I can't accept any other Companion's quests as I'm "already running a job for Skjor."69.131.126.131 07:41, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

there should be a way to complete that quest by going into the console and putting in a code. Theindividual 07:54, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

The guy won't stay dead

Respawned after doing another quest at gallows rock. He was bugging the hell out of the Purity quests so I had to catch him out back and shoot him. After he died (again) Farkas and Vilkas offered the dialogue for the purity quests, all was well. Fast forward about 3 months in game time and he's back in Jorrvaskr... Walking around, offering quests... Not a huge issue I guess, just really really weird. --67.174.246.172 20:19, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

undead skjor in dark water crossing

I was just walking through dark water crossing and i saw skjor walking around but only he was half way into the ground naked and frozen in a karate stance with his eyes closed so i take it hes dead am i the only one to see that — Unsigned comment by 68.45.115.174 (talk) at 17:30 on 14 October 2012‎

Not only is this already mentioned on this talk page multiple times, it's mentioned on the article as well. — ABCface^◥ 23:39, 14 October 2012 (GMT)

Someone should positively confirm the conditions of Skjor respawning

As mentioned aroudn 3 times, he respawned for me fairly soon after visiting Gallows Rock again. Should we just add it to the article? It seems to be the most likely cause.--Catmaniac66 (talk) 01:23, 22 November 2012 (GMT)

It's not the only one. I've only been there once. It is more likely Gallows Rock respawning, or the completion of the questline.--Br3admax (talk) 01:29, 22 November 2012 (GMT)

I've also been at Gallows Rock only once and he respawned all right. Questline finished long ago. And he's not the only one. Sacrificed Njada to Boethiah and ran into her too (reported bug). Actually, they both respawned in Jorrvaskr at the same time, which makes me think it may have something to do with their faction or something? Or are these separate bugs? I disabled them both anyway, just in case. --Iconoclasta (talk) 20:55, 27 February 2013 (GMT)

I think it might have something to do with the random encounters in the wild when some Companions are hunting a beast, like instead of cancelling it. I find it odd though, I went back to Gallows Rock in nearly all my playthrough and he respawned only once, with my very first character (and I'm not even sure I went to Gallows Rock with him). Elakyn (talk) 10:30, 28 February 2013 (GMT)

On xbox, I had Skjor respawn shortly after receiving a quest in Gallow's Rock. Killed him, his body hung around for ages, and then with no further visit to Gallow's Rock, he's alive again. On both my Companions playthroughs, Vilkas won't give Dragon Seekers quests unless Skjor has reanimated. — Unsigned comment by 222.152.154.45 (talk) at 08:41 on 19 January 2014‎

Undead Skjor at Battle of Whiterun

Attacking on the Stormcloak side, I found Skjor fighting Imperials outside the gates. He followed me inside and we got separated in the Cloud District. Maybe he just really wanted to get back to Jorrvaskr for a drink. SonGoharotto (talk) 15:05, 10 January 2013 (GMT)

Other Companions Respawning

The respawning bug does not seem to specific to just Skjor. In my save on the PS3, Skjor respawned in Jorrvaskr and I killed him. I had not revisited Gallows Rock in the meantime and had been away from Jorrvaskr for some time. In that same visit, I also killed Athis to charge the Ebony blade. When I returned to Jorrvasskr (not sure how long it was in game time but the items had respawned) Athis's body had disappeared and he was alive again and walking around as if nothing had ever happened. I checked the Hall of the Dead, and there was no urn for him. Perhaps all the Companions can be subject to this bug. --AN|L (talk) 14:12, 29 July 2013 (GMT)

If that's true, that would make them eminently suitable targets for the Ebony Blade. This ought to be investigated. --Morrolan (talk) 02:19, 6 September 2013 (GMT)

Dialogue on Skjor's death from fellow Companions

I've never seen this dialogue in-game before. Granted, I've not played through the questline much, but at least I've not seen it during my current playthrough nor do I remember it. Can someone clarify? Is this cut content or can you actually at some point tell the Companions of his death? ~ Dwarfmp (talk) 23:40, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

So I just faced this problem as I saw the dialog first time I completed the quest and then it has disappeared when I reloaded the save and replayed it. Apparently, the dialog is there only if you get to Jorrvaskr earlier than Aela. First time I was playing, I rushed the quest and fast traveled to Whiterun. Aela was not there and dialog was. When I reloaded the save file, I took my time going through the Gallows Rock, then took the carriage from Windhelm to Whiterun. Aela was already in the Jorrvaskr and the dialog was gone.
