Hi.
A friend of mine is stuck on a blades-quest, so I'm asking on his behalf.

He's on the "Retrieve the Bonebiter Bow for Sul-Matuul from the Urshilaku Burial Chamber"- quest..

He killed the ghost in the juno-cave.. but he forgot to search the remains. He went outside and looked for the bow, and when he figured out where the bow was and returned to the juno cave, the remains were gone.

Is there some way my friend can get that bow? Any way will do.. hacking, finding it in different places, using editors.. anything.. He's on the verge of quitting the game, people. Lets do what we can to keep that from happening. [img]smile.gif[/img]

All help is greatly appreciated.

heya hon,
there's a console command that will restore all npcs to their original state. helpful at times. but not sure how that's gonna affect the rest of your friend's game.

you could look in the editor for the code for that item. then create it in the editor, too.

bring up the console by typing ~
then help

V***V

You can also just plop the bow in question into his inventory via a console command. Go into the editor and scrounge around in the weapons list until you find the bow in question. That means after firing up the editor you pull up data files off the file menu, Doubleclick on the morrowind.esm file, and wait patiently while it loads. Then look at the nice list of objects and click on the weapons tab, and patiently scroll down the list until you find the bow in question. Then drop that (saving nothing), and head into the game. Once in game, bring up the console (tilde key) and type this minus the outside quotes "player->Additem "objectnamehere" 1" . That will plop the bow in his inventory without risk to the rest of the game world.

I guiltily admit I did that when I found I'd inadvertantly sold my hlaalu disguise helm to my favourite fence and he first wore it and then poofed it. (Yes I gave him other EXPENSIVE helms but while he put them on, my helm never showed up in his inventory again, even after sleeping a day or two away.) Rather than lose 30 odd hours of playtime I grumped and hacked.

PS.. I checked and the item was nicely obvious in the list... the name is "bonebiter_bow_unique".
