Hey all, not sure if this is a glitch or not. I just left soul cairn and durnehviir taught me first word of his shout. However, under misc quests, it still says learn first word of his shout as an active quest. Where do i learn the other two words of the summon shout? Im kinda confused on this as the first word of the shout seems to do nothing. Im hoping that active quest goes away after i learn the other two words of the shout.

yeah, that decription ingame isn't great..

he gives you the three words to summon him before you leave the Soul Cairin.

Use three dragon souls so you can use all three words, then when you use it to summon him in Skyrim, he will teach you a word to the new shout. the quest will update, summon him again to get the next word

Ok, since ive already left the soul cairn, can i go back in to learn the other two words or is it too late?

no, you should have the shout "Summon Durnehviir" in your shouts menu. Unlock that shout with dragon souls, then summon Durnehviir anywhere in Tamriel, he will then teach you the Soul Tear shout's first word. Summon him again to learn the second word, then summon him once more to learn the third word

Thats kind of the problem. I only know the first word of thr summon Durnehviir shout, and it only lasts 5 seconds. And when i shout it in Tamriel, he doesnt come- nothing happens. Funnybunny said Durnehviir is suppose to teach all three words of the summon shout in the soul cairn. I left after the first word. Can i go back in to re-learn the other two words?

Ok i found what i was doing wrong. First off, this is infinetly confusing! You initially learn all 3 words at the same time and have to unlock all 3 to summon durnehviir. I had just unlocked the first word, and i didnt even realize i had the other 2 words in my inventory waiting to be unlocked. I lost about 3 hours of gameplay going back and doing that quest again because i thought it had glitched.

There are a couple of Shouts that are like that.

At least you will know this in the future.

atleast you figured it out better late than never, right
