Not to be confused with Leifnar.

Leifnarr is a deceased Nord farmer in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim who was killed by a small group of bandits.

Interactions[]

Flight or Fight[]

At the Heartwood Mill, west of Riften, Leifnarr's wife, Grosta, or his son, Gralnach, asks to help finding Leifnarr, who has been missing for a few months. His body can be found in Broken Helm Hollow behind a secret door in the rock wall leading to a torture room. Pulling the arrow from Leifnarr's chest causes the Dragonborn to realize that Leifnarr is dead. Grosta will express remorse at his death, chiding herself for assuming he was being unfaithful.

Bugs[]

This section contains bugs related to Leifnarr. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:

  1. Please reload an old save to confirm if the bug is still happening.
  2. If the bug is still occurring, please post the bug report with the appropriate system template  360  /  XB1  ,  PS3  /  PS4  ,  PC  /  MAC  ,  NX  /  PS5  ,  XS  , depending on which platform(s) the bug has been encountered on.
  3. Be descriptive when listing the bug and fixes, but avoid having conversations in the description and/or using first-person anecdotes: such discussions belong on the appropriate forum board.
  •  PC   360   PS3   PS4   XB1   NX   PS5   XS   If Leifnarr's body is found before talking to Grosta, the dialogue for reporting his death does not appear with either his son or his wife.
    •  PC (Fix)   It can be cleared on PC by using console command: setstage e3ea5 30.
    •  360 (Fix)   Only known fixes are to load back to a time before you found his body or by killing Grosta at Heartwood Mill and fail the mission
    •  PS3 (Fix)   This bug cannot be fixed on PS3, but it can be failed and moved off the active quest list by killing Grosta at Heartwood Mill.
  •  PC   The usual link between the Journal entry of the quest and a map location is broken. A likely related issue is that the "caret" symbol on the directional indicator at the top of the screen did not point anywhere, even when this quest was the primary one.
  • If Leifnarr is a Dead Thrall when one speaks to Grosta, the quest may clear and then reappear. Similarly, if Leifnarr's body is searched again or activated as a thrall, the quest will become active again. However, there is no way to clear it on a console.
  • There can be two Miscellaneous quests which consist of the one given by Grosta and the one received when one unexpectedly uncovers Leifnarr's body. This can happen when searching for him at the request of Grosta and his body is examined by activating it. The bugged quest is then given in addition to the conclusion quest for the one given by Grosta. Both quests may still be completed by speaking to her, and both count for Miscellaneous objectives completed in the settings screen.
  •  PC   After getting the miscellaneous objective and entering Broken Helm Hollow, Leifnarr's body will merely be labelled as "Nord." However, the RefID is the same as Leifnarr's, and investigating the body will still progress the objective.
  • Leifnarr's body may be discovered a second time at a different location, such as Orotheim, after the initial quest has been completed. The option to report his death does not show up when talking to his son or wife.
