Cannot finish The Svargrim quest. Spoiler Alert

Imaskari001 · June 2020

I killed Svargrim, he retreats into a ball of light, reappears full health, I beat him AGAIN, retreats into ball of light, reappears. What's up with that? Is there a certain number of times you have to kill him?

Ghanima_Atreides · June 2020

Ahem...spoilers. Some of us haven't finished the story yet.

Imaskari001 · June 2020

Trying to edit to remove spoiler. Sorry about that

Ghanima_Atreides · June 2020

It's okay, I realise there are going to be spoilers on the forum so I tread carefully, but a thread title does make it impossible to avoid! Thank you, and I hope someone who knows the answer can help you.

Did you die on the fight? This happened to me when I had to go AFK during the fight and died. When I respawned Svana wasn't there, so I couldn't throw the potion at the end of the fight when he turns into the ball of light. I had to abandon the quest and do the whole thing again. Abandoning means you have to restart from confronting him in Solitude though...big oof.

Imaskari001 · June 2020

[snip] Yes, I did. I died first, then beat him twice. WTF..oh hell no, I'll just not complete the *** quest. The hell with it. I'm not doing all that *** again.

Yeahhh, I sent in a bug report about it, but I guess they haven't gotten to it yet. On the bright side I already had the Greymoor Keep wayshrine unlocked the second time around, so I pretty much just sprinted through the keep. And he has quite a lot of health too (and I was playing on my second account which is new and has no CP and only random dropped gear) so it was quite a pain to fight him three times, realize there was a bug, and then have to go back through and fight him AGAIN.

This issue was reported previously by @Lithlidessa444 in this thread.

It's currently on my list of unresolved Greymoor bugs here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/531066/consolidated-outstanding-greymoor-bug-thread-please-add-info-re-any-other-unresolved-bugs/

Imaskari001 · June 2020

Understood.

Meowzette · June 2020

Just adding that I've tried everything to complete this too. Only light attacks, then only when he's on the ground, only fighting from the podium, not with pets out, with pets out... Each time I've had to Force Quit to get out. Sometimes I get gargoyles, sometimes zero gargoyles. So frustrating. How do we finish the storyline??

ectoplasmicninja · June 2020

If you died during the initial fight, the only thing to do is abandon the quest, restart from Solitude, and make sure you don't die on the boss fight. If Svana isn't there, you won't get the prompt you need that kills him.

Meowzette · June 2020

I submitted a bug report and was provided a list of possible solutions. The one that actually worked for me was:

Type /reloadui in the command line of the Chat Box ( at the event to possibly reset the issue).

So I beat him down, he'll enter the bat phase where he gets "stuck", I then hit /reloadui. I came out of that with him beating my toon up, fight him again, but when he enters his bat phase, for this 2nd time, at the middle bottom of the screen you'll get "X - Toss the Potion". Click X and the fight is done. OMG, days of trying to kill this guy. Wow! Talk about exorcising the demon!

thedavidventer · June 2020

I click X, fight ends, but then he still resets and I have to do it again, and again, and again. Killed him about 5 times already. How do I finish this??! @ZOS_MattFiror, please fix this!

LarsS · June 2020

You got explosives earlier. So when he is nearly deal you have a chance to activate them press e as I remeber it.

Imaskari001 · June 2020

If Svana isn't there, you're done. What I did was log while still in there. When I re-logged, I was outside the door. All I had to do was navigate though the castle again (Svana et all were regenerated), go through that last door, fight him and survive....Svana did the rest. Bob's your mother's brother.

I did all that, even with her there, he still resets.

Zama666 · June 2020

Hmmm...no such luck here.

Listened to my Companions and went with Svana, she went through the door, but when I tried to open it - it was greyed out!

Quit and tried again...same issue... So this time I could not even get in to fight him...

Do I need to bribe an admin?

SoftcoverGore47 · June 2020

Had the same problem. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/529939/critical-zone-story-stop-bug-greymoor-rising Scroll down a bit and theres a link with a work-around, at least till it gets patched. Basically you need to leave the castle, wait 15 minutes and try again. I back-tracked all the way to the beginning and back out to blackreach. (not sure if thats completely necessary), zoned out, did some antiquing, went back and was able to finish the quest/story. Did not need to abandon the quest. Pretty much picks up where you left off.

DigitalTemerity · August 2020

I may know what is happening. It would seem that he is supposed to heal himself at least once if not twice before the prompt appears at the bottom of the screen. I didn't logout or reloadui or leave the castle. I did pause to Google it and find this post by not attacking him or going near him, so he just stood there, and I was on my 3rd heal. When he went to heal again, I paid attention to the lower half of the screen and got the prompt, did it, hit him one more time, and he was dead. It may seem like a bug, but it may be intentional.

Finedaible · September 2020

Wow, this bug has been around for a long time judging by when this post was made.

Anyway, just wanted to confirm for anyone else who finds this thread that typing the /reloadui command when the "Toss" synergy appears made it work for me. Using the synergy before reloading the UI broke it every time and i had to wait for the boss to reset.

Coatmagic · October 2020

Trying to help a guildy with this atm, and it is STILL broken just wow o.O

Can confirm that this bug still exists and that this is the solution.

Catmophere · February 2021

Oh great. well that explains that

langewapper · April 2021

this bug still exist , got it now , killed him 3 times and he rises again at 100% health
so 4th time, did a reloadui at 50% health
then at 10% did only light attacks slowly and got the "press x prompt"
and killed him

Jodynn · May 2021

First time tried burning it slow for dialogue, he doesn't say anything special quest related, bugged out and couldn't kill.

Second time burned in 5 seconds, then used synergy potion thing, it worked fine.

Kaivalya · September 2021

2021-Sep-12. Still broken.

my partner was just doing this. the X prompt to throw the potion was hidden under his skillbar UI. he hit X anyway, when in bat phase, and it works. not sure if this is the problem for you or not.
