All bugs › Alduin's Bane
Stuck in the Time-Wound vision; Alduin never lands
What happens
After reading the Elder Scroll at the Time-Wound, the Merethic-era cutscene may not trigger or finish, leaving you stuck watching it. Gormlaith may fail to reach the first dragon, or Alduin never lands on the word wall, so Dragonrend is never taught.
PS5-safe fix
UESP's only console-free tip: do other quests and then come back to the Time-Wound. Otherwise reload a save from before you read the Elder Scroll (the other listed fixes are PC console commands).
Prevention
Make a hard save before reading the Elder Scroll. UESP notes (unverified) that a follower standing inside the Time-Wound may stop Alduin landing, so dismiss your follower or have them wait away from it first.
Always make a hard save before trying a fix.
