Skyrim talk:Teldryn Sero

TelDryn will not equip a glass helmet

I wanted to see his face, so I gave him a full set of glass armor, he will not unequip the chitin helmet. Glitch? or horrid disfigurement? haven't tested any other light helmets, he will not wear imporoved bonemold armor either, though he will equip the shield. — Unsigned comment by Romandoug (talk • contribs) at 03:35 on 21 December 2012

Same issue. I thought maybe he would equip something stronger when combat ensued, but he hasn't. Don't think it's a glitch; I think Bethesda just wanted to make him the "chitin" follower, so to speak. Minor Edits^{Threats•Evidence} 04:01, 21 December 2012 (GMT)

My thoughts too, I just thought a Deadpool style disfigurement backstory suited the no face style of Teldryn....he's a lot of fun to use when viewed in this light. — Unsigned comment by Romandoug (talk • contribs) at 04:04 on 21 December 2012

Same issue. I gave him a chitin shield and he used it, along with new boots, but he's not giving up that helm. Oshaugm (talk) 21:30, 23 December 2012 (GMT)

You can pickpocket the helmet using the Perfect Touch perk when he's not following you, then give him another helmet and he'll equip it. --24.92.180.9 05:51, 6 January 2013 (GMT)

Teldryn WILL equip a Morag Tong helmet that has been improved, although since it's just a color swappwed version of chitin, it doesn't particularly mean much. 205.188.117.80 03:20, 10 January 2013 (GMT)

Even if you use perfect touch to take his helmet he will immediately spawn a new one after trading items with him.--Vukodlak (talk) 01:18, 17 February 2013 (GMT)

He WILL equip the Nightingale Hood. For... Whatever reason. I think he requires helmets that completely cover his face that are light. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. — Unsigned comment by 24.68.113.47 (talk) at 09:56 on 17 February 2013

(←) If you take his helmet and give him good enough armor to surpass the cap, he won`t spawn/equip a new one. gave him morag tong armor/boots improved with 100 Smithing + 110% smithing potion. I stole his helmet with perfect touch and he dosen`t use it anymore. — Unsigned comment by 192.12.88.5 (talk) at 06:22 on 7 August 2013

He WILL equip the Blades Helmet if you induct him into the Blades.

Surprised at the Lack of Adoration...?

Teldryn is easily one of the funniest and interesting followers in the game, and he's quite a monster as well (I'm level 69, playing on Expert, and when Whiterun had some Vampires and Thralls attack, he took out 2-3 of the Mistwalker-type Vampires within all of 5 seconds). I wonder if people even notice him at The Retching Netch? --Timfever (talk) 05:22, 31 December 2012 (GMT)

He sits in the local inn, just like other hirelings in the game, and he's no more or less noticeable, excepting the new DB armor. Anyway, this information doesn't really fit into the article without specific details, feel free to add any details you think would be helpful. — ABCface^◥ 06:42, 11 January 2013 (GMT)

Hes quite talkactive though especially for a hireling.--Vukodlak (talk) 01:19, 17 February 2013 (GMT)

He won't stop blocking/won't use magic

So after awhile I noticed good ol' Teldryn is acting funny. When his weapon is out, he will just block and walk very slowly, won't fight nearly as much, and never uses any magic, whether it be Firebolt, summoning a Flame Atronach, or healing himself. I've tried Wabbajacking him, changing weapons, dismissing him a few times, all to no avail. Anyone have a way to fix this? He's by far my favorite new follower! --Barfightbob (talk) 23:19, 1 February 2013 (GMT)

I too am having the same bug. I'm on PC and have reset his AI among other things. 24.145.15.199 04:29, 6 February 2013 (GMT)

Open console, click on him and type "disable" and hit enter. Then type "enable" and hit enter once again. That should 'reset' him. --Arkhon (talk) 06:40, 10 February 2013 (GMT)

This happened to me as well. Using disable and enable on him didn't help, but using recycleactor did. Kotekzot (talk) 01:15, 5 March 2014 (GMT)

Happened to me as well. Enable/Disable didnt fox for me, nor did Recycleactor. - I got mad, killed him. Used the Resurrect command on him and rehired his manly self. The seemed to have worked for me, he's back to tossing fireballs again. — Unsigned comment by 50.134.169.44 (talk) at 22:28 on 14 October 2014

Beware of Making Teldryn a Blade

Teldryn is one of my favorite followers, and as another poster put it, he is a BEAST in combat.

I made him a Blade and that was a HUGE mistake. He won't converse with me anymore. No dialogue pops up when you try to talk to him, so I can't ask him to follow me. I'm so bummed. There doesn't seem to be any way of fixing it. — Unsigned comment by Dlcass (talk • contribs) at 00:38 on 19 February 2013

Me too, but he finally takes off his helmet. — Unsigned comment by 96.22.223.69 (talk) at 19:23 on 21 February 2013

I just added the appropriate console code to the bugs section of the article that will add him back into the hirelings faction. I'm not sure if there's any way to restore his original follower commentary, though. 24.131.46.78 01:08, 3 February 2014 (GMT)

Missing hiring dialog

I can't hire him. I can tell he's available, but the option to give him 500 gold is not there.134.176.247.178 14:38, 19 February 2013 (GMT)

I am not sure if this is the way to fix this with console. I got the same problem and I messed with his faction by clicking on him and typing "addtofaction bcc9a -1" and HOLA! it works. — Unsigned comment by 171.207.192.49 (talk) at 20:07 on 4 March 2014‎

He disappeared.

In Whiterun. Also have Serana (Seeking Disclosure/Beyond Death), but was still able to hire him. No other problems until now. I didn't notice he disappeared until he didn't show up in Halted Stream Camp like Serana. Thought he died but couldn't find his body. I last remember him saying something in Arcadia's Cauldron. Didn't hear all of it because I was leaving as he started to speak. I tried dismissing Serana and fast traveling from dragonskeep to whiterun he didn't appear and now Serana says I have to get rid of my friend when asking her to come with me. So not reloading a previous save as its too far back and I would have to restart the vampire quest line all over for the third time. Grelaria (talk) 02:06, 14 April 2013 (GMT) Okay, after a few in-game days he has reappeared SE of Heljarchen Hall, ran right to me. Never hiring him again. Oh and Serana was following me again since I started Unseen Visions, stopped after he showed up. Dismissing him fixed that.Grelaria (talk) 04:46, 14 April 2013 (GMT)

False information?

Why is it written that he met Saint Juib once in Blacklight and that his armor is made by a guy called Rolovo? where in the DLC is this stated? i couldnt find any hint about it. 5.0.185.243 18:07, 21 April 2013 (GMT)

It is part of his random dialogue. Some of it comes as you travel around skyrim with him. Jeancey (talk) 18:08, 21 April 2013 (GMT)

Cannot interact with Teldryn Sero whatsoever

Recently I did the quest for Captain Veleth where you find the source of the ash spawn attacks. After going to the Fort and completing it Teldryn just disappeared. I found him back in the Retching Netch but he wont talk to me. He says "Its been awhile, outlander. Looking to unleash some havoc across Tamriel again?" After that he just keeps saying "Sera?" and will not follow me. At one point I was able to use the commands by holding down the A button but now it wont even do that. He has ALL my stuff including Soulrender and Bloodscythe, a full Dragonscale enchanted armor set, and tons of jewelry and ore. I tried getting other followers to follow and then leave me and getting rid of my Riekling pet but nothing will work. I have literally tried everything. It looks like my last option is killing him, taking my stuff, and getting another follower which I REALLY dont want to do. If there is anyone who has encountered the same problem as me please help! — Unsigned comment by 71.70.153.27 (talk) at 00:04 on 26 May 2013

I have this issue as well. I still can't find any issues. He doesn't have any of my items, though I'd just like to have him back, is all. The issue started when I gained another follower from a mod--the new follower just joined me when I asked him without saying I already had someone with me, and after that, Teldryn just stopped working.74.98.195.148 02:21, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Just found the solution. Using the console, I clicked him and used "addfac bd738 -1" to remove him from the CurrentHireling faction, then he was available for hire again.74.98.195.148 02:39, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Wandering Skyrim

I recently found him wandering Skyrim. He was fighting the bandits at the overpass near Pinewatch. Once the bandits were dispatched, he had the dialog for me to hire him. I just thought it was odd that he was wandering the wilderness, and in Skyrim, not Solstheim even. — Unsigned comment by 76.15.16.116 (talk) at 21:15 on 11 June 2013

He was probably just bored. After all, he's spent enough time on Solstheim to last a lifetime. — Unsigned comment by 69.109.125.60 (talk) at 04:30 on 30 June 2013

To the OP: had you previously hired him and dismissed him? It's possible that he was simply making his way back to his destination from wherever you'd dismissed him from before, and you just happened to run into him again.

As for him just being bored, that's a nice real-life explanation, but if it's not the scenario I just suggested, it may be worth looking into his package information in game data to see if this is something that could have been intended or simply a bug. — ABCface^◥ 17:11, 30 June 2013 (GMT)

Archery?

I've seen Teldryn use a bow, so I gave him one of my extra enchanted ebony bows, a Legendary Elven sword, arrows, and a couple of staves. He hasn't popped the bow out again, even with both staves discharged. Is this just a weapon choice? Or is it based on the weapon quality? FMPhoenixHawk (talk) 09:54, 31 December 2013 (GMT)

Teldryn is a spellsword, so he doesn't use bows unless he is out of mana AND out of melee range. — Unsigned comment by 140.0.90.180 (talk) at 06:35 on 18 April 2014 (GMT)

Following me after dismissal

So this isn't that big of a deal or anything, I'm mostly curious.

I had Teldryn following me in Solstheim for a bit, then back to Skyrim to complete other quests and generally roam around. I found and downloaded a follower I wanted to use instead, so I dismissed him in Riften and went to track down and hire my new follower. I assumed he would either wander around Skyrim or that I would find him back in Solstheim, but as I was passing through Helgen, I saw him standing around at the gate. I talked to him, got the "it's been awhile" dialogue and an option to hire him again. I declined, but now, he keeps following me. He doesn't fast travel with me, and I don't THINK he enters buildings with me, but once in awhile, he'll just run up out of nowhere while I'm exploring and start walking around with me and my other follower. He'll also randomly run up and help with fights occasionally, then follow me around until I fast travel away from him.

I haven't tried going back to Solstheim with him yet, so I'm not sure if that would fix it or not. I don't have UFO, but I do have a riding and stabling mod that allows followers to own/ride horses. Could that have something to do with it, or is this just a common thing? -Thearkenstoned (talk) 21:42, 17 January 2015 (GMT)

"Found and downloaded a follower"? In other words a mod? We do not include or discuss how mods work in the wiki. We only document how the original game and official add-ons work. For mods and general gameplay experiences, you can use the forum. —MortenOSlash (talk) 06:26, 18 January 2015 (GMT)

That's what I meant, yes. I don't think it has anything to do with that particular mod, since it doesn't really widely affect followers outside of adding one. I didn't really want to discuss the mod itself, I mostly just mentioned it for context. I wanted to know more if anyone else had experienced Teldryn following them around in Skyrim as described after being dismissed. -Thearkenstoned (talk) 17:50, 18 January 2015 (GMT)

Still, as long as no-one without a mod modifying follower dynamics can confirm the behaviour, we can not dismiss the possibility that the mod can trigger the bug. —MortenOSlash (talk) 18:30, 18 January 2015 (GMT)

Where did he go?

Teldryn has been my trusty follower for a while, but when I went to sleep, the game teleported me to the sun stone and had me work on it. I cleansed the stone, before noticing Teldryn is nowhere to be seen! I've traveled around for a while looking for him, checked in my house where I slept (severin manor) and checked back at the retching netch. He's gone! — Unsigned comment by 95.148.147.0 (talk) at 11:00 on 1 July 2015 (UTC)
