Yngol's Helm. How to retrieve it? : V

» Wed Nov 21, 2012 5:24 pm

With my second class I have completed the short Yngol's Barrow dungeon, and I've got the wonderful Draugr head piece called Yngol's helm. It's really cool, but now I'm wandering where the hell have I put it in my first char's list of inventories in all skyrim. Is there a consolle command to search for the position of that item? I frankly don't remember where did I put it, and sincerely Idon't even remember to have even found it months ago when I explored Yngol's Barrow with my first char. I fear I haven't even looted it from Yngol's skeleton, thinking that it wasn't possible to take! In fact i returned tonight to that dungeon with my first char to check it, but I didn't find even the skeleton.
Help please!

You can get a new one through console commands.

Just type 'help yngol 0' in the console and then use player.additem.

The reference ID for Yngol's Helm is 000295f3, and the console command

player.additem 000295f3 1

should add one "Helm of Yngol" to your inventory. Keep in mind though that this will create a Helm of Yngol, not teleport the original one from wherever it is into your knapsack. :smile:

If you took it before and stowed it somewhere you will end up with two of them if you find the first one again. In which case you can use

player.removeitem 000295f3 1

to get rid of the extra helm. Or just keep them both, or sell one, whatever.

If you didn't get it when you cleared the barrow, it might never show up again in your game unless you use the console command. If the body it was on was no longer there when you returned, then it probably got cleaned up by the game and any items left in its inventory are gone.

Thanks everybody.
I've found in the elder scrolls wiki the description of a bug:
" PS3 360 There is a known bug which seems to occur if you have accepted the quest to fetch the http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Helm_of_Winterhold for the http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Jarl of http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Winterhold prior to entering http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Yngol_Barrow. The bug replaces Yngol's Shade with a Draugr Deathlord or http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Priest and completely removes the skeleton and the helmet with it. It also causes the door in Yngol's final chamber to remain shut."
I've got Skyrim for pc, but it might be that I never met Yngol's shade and maybe there was a Draugr Deathlord of something similar. So that's why I don't even remember to have looted it!
