Armour change?[edit]

After changing into a werewolf during Proving Honor, Farkas changed into a set of Wolf Armor, excluding the helmet. I am not using any of the Unofficial patches. Currently patched to 1.9. This happen to anyone else? Eldubya (talk) 16:10, 29 July 2013 (GMT)

Yes, this has happened to a lot of people (as well as myself) from what I've seen (reading on TES Wiki and Steam forums). Bluesonic1 (talk) 06:29, 30 December 2014 (GMT)

Became essential[edit]

First off, I'm on the 360, patched to 1.9. After completing the Companions questline, I noticed Farkas was no longer essential, which is normal. However, recently, I noticed he has somehow become essential--I can't pickpocket his armor with Perfect Touch and he can't be "Wabbajacked. I even tried killing him, to no avail. Anyone encountered this before? I have installed the DLC (DG, DB, & HF) since completing the Companions questline--could this be the reason?--149.160.118.51 21:54, 26 January 2014 (GMT)

A bit of a late reply, but if you're still interested: yes, playing on 360 with all DLC and patches, I'm seeing the same thing. I've completed the Companions quest line, and at some point I did Wabbajack him (I don't remember when, but I have a list of followers that I've Wabbajacked, and he's on it), so he must have lost his essential flag for that to have worked. But just recently I went to improve and enchant his default armor, and I wasn't able to do it with Perfect Touch (it didn't appear in his inventory while he had it equipped). So naturally my next course of action was to try to kill him, but he is very definitely unkillable. So he seems to have all the characteristics of an essential NPC, though I couldn't tell you how that came to be. Not very helpful, but at least you know now you're not alone.

guard faction glitch[edit]

So I know that he and some of the other companions are part of the guard faction but something weird is going on in my game. I had a bounty in white run of 1080 or something and I paid it off normally with one of the guards. When I was released I went to go talk to eorlund at the skyforge to sell some stuff an figgen Farkas come out of nowhere with his sword drawn like he's gonna arrest me. I'mnot a member of the companions and I'd like to keep it that way if possible, but now he just follows me around and enters conversation withe like a guard would but all he says is things like "what do you need" and "I'm here to help" and the only chooses I have are to ask him about the companions like if I can join or why he's with them and stuff. Has anyone else ever seen this with him? Or any of the others? Its getting really annoying cos he'll follow me into a building and when I try to leave he stops me and blocks the door. He even followed me out of the city and now I can't fast travel because 'you cannot fast travel when a guard is pursuing you' this is on xbox 71.223.252.40 23:02, 23 March 2014 (GMT)dredramm320

Disease[edit]

As a werewolf, he is supposed to be immune to diseases, but when he fights wild animals, sometimes infection animation plays on him. — Unsigned comment by 198.168.48.213 (talk) at 21:53 on 9 May 2014

Werewolves are immune to the effects of diseases not from catching them. Silence is GoldenBreak the Silence 22:06, 9 May 2014 (GMT)

Respawned[edit]

After completing the companions questline, I killed all the companions because Farkas kept annoying me by constantly engaging me in dialogue. I am 100% certain I killed him (I even got a letter of inheritance for it). However, the other day, I was wondering outside Helgen and saw Farkas and a couple other companions fighting a bear. Farkas even kept engaging me in dialogue after we killed the bear. The only thing I can figure is that the game generated a random event, which happened to be the companions fighting a bear, and didn't check to see if they were alive. Has this happened to anyone else? 67.171.69.66 05:08, 13 November 2014 (GMT)

Can't Get Radiant Quests[edit]

After completing the Companions quest line, I can no longer get jobs from Farkas; the dialogue option isn't there. If I pick up a job from Aela or Vilkas, the option reappears, but he only responds with "Aren't you already doing a job? Come back when you're done" type stuff. I've tried reloading the area, completing one of the other quests and trying again, adding and dismissing him as a follower, and even loading an earlier save from right before I completed the last Companions quest. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm on 360 with 1.9 patch and all DLC (DB, DG, and HF).--108.207.167.23 19:24, 4 January 2015 (GMT)

Yes, he does not give any quests for me too, but I have Unofficial Patch installed.
I'm having this problem too, and the note added in Jan '17 doesn't seem to be accurate. I killed all the witches, and even talking to Farkas while carrying a head in my inventory doesn't give any quest-related options. --118.148.100.213 09:05, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Bug Moved From Article[edit]

Farkas may return to life.

The lack of details or information provided make this sound incredibly dubious, not to mention a bit confusing at first glance, so I've removed it from the article. Zul do onikaanLaan tinvaak 21:04, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
