I researched this and found very few people experiencing this, most people have a bug where he wont show up during the cut scene where you are in the past with the ancient nords but I dont experience that problem, its once the cutscene ends and I have to fight Alduin, I use dragonrend, I hit him, I know I do since he has that glow around him, but he just wont land on the ground, he continuously flies around, I suspect a mod issue, ive gone through and disabled numerous mods that wont break my saves but no luck, Ive gone back to my farthest save (At least one that isnt TOO far back) and I continue having this issue, has anyone else experienced this and perhaps have an idea of what mod is conflicting? Ill post a list from LOOT if that helps.

Things Ive tried;

Striking him right away
Striking him after he speaks
Striking him after Im told by the other dragon to use dragonrend
Running away from the battle to Ivarstead, waiting 24 hours, returning back to the battle
Reading the scroll before opening it at the time wound
Not reading it till at the time wound
striking him with dragonrend over and over and over

At this point Im out of ideas, heres my mod list

I'll let the record know that I gave the mod list a brief overview and didn't notice anything. If there are any related to dragons and shouts I'd start with disabling those (not sure I saw any)? Sorry I can't be more helpful, maybe somebody with a bit more experience using mods will be able to spot something.

I just googled dragonrend + not + working + alduin and got a ton of hits, but very few answers. It doesn't appear on UESP as a bug, but I believe that's what it's going to turn out to be. Among the few effective, but RP-killing suggestions, are using console commands to complete the quest stage, using console commands to kill alduin, and one steam user mentioned standing still, not moving or even turning the camera, until Alduin appears in his field of view. Commonly, people recommend waiting for him to stop to attack, before trying to dragonrend him, and making sure you see the purplish haze around him, though there aren't many complete forums with successful answers.

If you try either console command suggestion, I'd suggest making a hard save first, then using the UESP console page to read up on the correct format and possible hazards. UESP also has a page for dragonrend with links to the various alduin battles. At the bottom of those pages, you should see a chart with the quest IDs and stages, to be plugged into the setstage command outlined on the console page.

Thanks for the response, Yeah I found similar when I googled around, Ive tried standing still/not moving/etc. in every possible combination at this point, I think at this point Im going to have to use console commands cause I just dont know what else to do
